Description
How old is the universe? How do scientists even begin to answer the question? Producer David Barrett Wilson explores these questions with some of the leading astrophysicists and researchers of their time. Nobel Laureates Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson describe their groundbreaking work at Bell Labs to identify the remnants of the Big Bang. Cosmologist Wendy Freedman discusses how she and her team working with the Hubble Space Telescope narrowed down the age of the universe. MacArthur Fellow and astrophysicist David Spergel of Princeton University helps us understand why scientists want to study micro-fluctuations in cosmic radiation in order to conceptualize the shape of the universe. Other scientists give us some ways to visualize how researchers approach questions about the ultimate fate of the universe.
