Episode 28 #YourDailyEquation: Shortly after Einstein published his new theory of gravity, his general theory of relativity, researchers realized that it predicted that the universe should expandinga prediction subsequently confirmed by astronomical observations. And if it is expanding today, then running the cosmic film back toward the beginning suggests a highly dense and energetic starting pointthe big bang. Join Brian Greene for a visual explanation of the essential ideas as well as an introduction to the underlying math that yields these conclusions.

Even if your math is a bit rusty, join Brian Greene for brief and breezy discussions of pivotal equations and exciting stories of nature and numbers that will allow you to see the universe in a new way.
