The term big bang refers to the theory that the universe began at a single point in space and has been expanding ever since. During the show, Hamilton will delve into the universe's most puzzling riddles, some of which have only recently been unlocked by scientists. There has been a revolution in cosmology in the last three years, according to Hamilton.
Cosmology is the study of the form, content, organization and evolution of the universe.
Hamilton also will show and explain the latest observations of supernovae, the cosmic microwave background and galaxies. He explained that the cosmic microwave background is the radiation left over from when the universe was just a primeval fireball before expanding into its present form. The latest observations of the background revealed that the universe is indeed geometrically flat. Hamilton's current research focuses on the large-scale structure of the universe. Fiske Planetarium's monthly live shows give the audience a chance to talk to numerous experts from CU-Boulder.
