belajar dengan penuh semangat dan perjuangan, Pelajaran, pengetahuan,
dan kemampuan Kita itu bukan untuk orang lain, tapi untuk kebaikan hidup
Kita sendiri."

Frontiers and Controversies in Astrophysics
Lecture 23 - Other Constraints: The Cosmic Microwave Background
|
Overview:
Reasons for the expansion of the universe are addressed at the start of this lecture, focusing especially on the acceleration of dark energy. Supernovae were the first evidence for the existence of dark energy. Two other proofs are presented. The first is the Cosmic Microwave Background, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is perfectly smooth and equal in all directions. It firmly supports the Big Bang theory. Projects attempting to measure it, such as COBE and WMAP, are discussed. Secondly, Large-Scale Clustering is introduced: by measuring the degree of clustering, astronomers hope to advance their understanding of dark energy and dark matter. Computer simulations of the evolution of the universe are shown.
