Big Bang
TopicHeard in 9 episodes across 6 shows since Jul 2026
The Big Bang is the prevailing cosmological model describing the early development and expansion of the universe from an initial state of extremely high density and temperature. This physical theory explains a broad range of observed phenomena, including the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave background radiation, and the large-scale structure of the cosmos.
