Welcome back to Cosmos in a Pod! I’m your host, Amitesh, and today we’re tackling one of the most fundamental questions in cosmology: how do we know the universe is 13.8 billion years old? Let’s explore the tools and techniques astronomers use to measure the age of everything we see.
Episode Highlights:
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)
The Hubble Constant
Stellar Chronology
Nucleocosmochronology
Theoretical Models and Simulations
Challenges and Ongoing Research
The Cosmic Perspective The universe’s age is not just a number but a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity. By piecing together evidence from ancient light, distant galaxies, and the oldest stars, astronomers have constructed a timeline connecting the Big Bang to today, illuminating our place in the cosmos.
Next Episode: Join us as we delve into the enigmatic force of dark energy and how it’s driving the universe’s accelerating expansion.
Thank you for tuning in! If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and leave a review. Until next time, stay curious and keep looking up. The universe is full of wonders waiting to be discovered!
