Before the big bang video series

In summary, the "Before the big bang" video series explores the scientific research and theories surrounding the time before the big bang, which is still a topic of debate among scientists. It was created by a team of scientists and researchers with backgrounds in astrophysics, cosmology, and other related fields. The series currently consists of 5 episodes, each about 10-15 minutes long, and is based on scientific evidence and ongoing research. It is designed to be accessible to the general public, breaking down complex concepts in an easy to understand manner.

I discovered this interesting series of videos that others might appreciate.
Includes interviews with Alan Guth, Roger Penrose and loads of other interesting people.
Definitely not pop-sci and fairly up to date.
Episode 1 is a bit low quality with unnecessary subtitles, but it gets better as it goes on.

Timely as it apparently is Roger Penrose's birthday today!
 

1. What is the big bang theory and how does it relate to the "Before the big bang" video series?

The big bang theory is a scientific model that explains the origin and evolution of the universe. It states that the universe began as a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, and has been expanding and cooling ever since. The "Before the big bang" video series explores the scientific research and theories surrounding the time before the big bang, which is still a topic of debate among scientists.

2. Who created the "Before the big bang" video series and what are their credentials?

The "Before the big bang" video series was created by a team of scientists and researchers from various institutions, including NASA and universities around the world. These individuals have backgrounds in astrophysics, cosmology, and other related fields, and have published numerous peer-reviewed papers on the subject of the origins of the universe.

3. How many episodes are in the "Before the big bang" video series and how long are they?

The "Before the big bang" video series currently consists of 5 episodes, each about 10-15 minutes long. However, as new research and discoveries are made, new episodes may be added in the future.

4. Is the "Before the big bang" video series based on scientific evidence or purely speculative?
