Speaker: Loris Magnani, Physics and Astronomy.A look at how Einstein laid the foundations for the Big Bang Theory with his Theory of General Relativity and how these ideas were used to understand the expansion of the Universe in the 1930s. We will look at the predictions made by the classical theory and how some startling discoveries made in the last 20 years have been incorporated into the theory. In the process we will see how theories develop with time and new information, how particle physics has impacted cosmology and what are some of the major challenges facing the Big Bang Theory today.
