Show Notes

On this episode of ID the Future, physicist Rob Sheldon is on the show to talk about the history of cosmological thought, and how we've gone from believing in an infinite universe to believing in the Big Bang and a universe with a beginning. Dr. Sheldon explains the views of the ancient Greeks and early evidence against a static universe, and takes a look at the contributions of Lemaître, a physicist and Belgian monk.
