In this video, Arizona State University Professor, Lawrence Krauss, gives a lecture which elegantly explains the demise of cosmology and the universe as a whole.
His lecture is thought provoking, intellectual, mind-boggling, somewhat maddening, and ultimately humbling.
His words sum up a basic introductory astrophysics class, but they open the eyes of those who have never read of cosmology or astrophysics. It is not for the weak minded or those who seek to affirm their special-ness within the universe.
The main topics discussed in the lecture are:
Geometry of the universe
CMB - cosmic microwave background
Dark Matter
Dark Energy
Basic String Theory
After watching the lecture it becomes clear that perspective and humility are two aspects of existence which are completely undervalued. The limit of knowledge is realized and our ignorance is exposed. I hope that anyone who watches this video appreciates it as much as I did.
