planck: understanding the big bang
DESCRIPTION
ESA Space Science Talks March 2009. George Efstathiou: Planck: Understanding the Big Bang. Observing at microwave wavelengths, ESA's Planck observatory is the third space mission of its kind. It will measure tiny fluctuations in the CMB with unprecedented accuracy, providing the sharpest picture ever of the young Universe — when it was only 380 000 years old — and zeroing-in on theories that describe its birth and evolution.TRANSCRIPT

1. Why is the Universe so big?
2. Why is the Universe so old?
3. Why is the entropy so big?
4. Why is the entropy so small?
5. Why is the Universe so uniform and isotropic?
6. Where did the structure – stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies...come from?
7. What happened at the Big Bang?
8. Can we probe physics before the Big Bang?
9. What is the fate of the Universe?
