WHY DO WE BELIEVE THE BIG BANG THEORY? (Hybrid In-Person at NSK Location and on Zoom)

He also attempts to answer as many questions from the audience as time and stamina allow.

After holding postdoctoral fellowships at Oxford, Moscow State University, and the University of Cape Town, he went on to teach at Harvard, Princeton, and NYU.
