The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.
This is the Q&A video for Idea #22, " Cosmology." We talk mostly about how the Friedmann equation works, and what the Big Bang really means.
