Quarks and the Cosmos, Michael S. Turner - The 2013 Ryerson Lecture:

Pioneering University of Chicago cosmologist Michael S. Turner focuses his remarks on "the Chicago School of Cosmology," from Edwin Hubble and George Ellery Hale to the present. Hubble, SB 1910, PhD 1917, discovered that the universe consists of billions of galaxies and that it has been expanding since it began in a big bang.

Hale was the first chairman of the University's Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. He also founded Yerkes Observatory, which under his leadership developed the big reflecting telescopes that are the workhorses of optical astronomy today, making discoveries from the expanding universe to planets orbiting other stars.Turning to more recent times, Turner discusses efforts that started in the 1980s at UChicago to establish the new field of particle astrophysics and cosmology.
At that time, the Chicago School, consisting primarily of the late David Schramm, Edward "Rocky" Kolb, the Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished Service Professor in Astronomy and Astrophysics, and Turner, was alone in pushing this idea. "Today this idea that there are deep connections between the very big and the very small is universally accepted, has propelled the field to its current prominence, and underpins our understanding of the universe," Turner said. "As we say at Chicago, ideas matter!"
The Ryerson Lecture grew out of a 1972 bequest to the University by Nora and Edward L. Ryerson, a former chairman of the board of trustees. The lecture honors excellence in academic pursuits. A faculty committee selects the Ryerson Lecturer based on research contributions of lasting significance.

Great lecture, Michael is great..

[@evilishness1]

The introduction was a little long, but I suppose that is to be expected. I was very happy with the presentation. Thank you for sharing this. :)

Thank you for such a clarifying lecture on the history of cosmology and the science behind the big bang from early particles (seen and exotic) to the "visible" universe. I hope humankind can take this knowledge to more planets in Goldilocks zones before it has to be slowly rediscovered. I think the UofC puts a big challenge to those at Kavli UCSB.

Thanks!

It is amazing that all the great religions of the world have written down all of God's dictations about creation so carefully in their books, such as the existence of galaxies outside of ours and weakly interacting massive particles, etc...NOT!

[@Aluminata]

Yet another "Cosmos" titled lecture which morphs into the history lessons of its human exploration.

A bit too much time spent extolling Chicago...and I LIKE Chicago

[@micc6462]

I always thought the big bang was a porno

If they're looking for dark matter, then they need not look any further than my toilet after I had a couple carne asada buritos the previous day.

Need uh uh uh uh filter for this.

And, [O Muhammad], you are not [engaged] in any matter or recite any of the Qur'an and you [people] do not do any deed except that We are witness over you when you are involved in it. And not absent from your Lord is any [part] of an atom's weight within the earth or within the heaven or [anything] smaller than that or greater but that it is in a clear register.
