Nobel Laureate John Mather joins Brian Greene for an in-depth discussion of evidence establishing the big bang as well as recent observations of the James Webb Space Telescope raising questions for this very theory of cosmic creation.
Mather delivered this year’s “On the Shoulders of Giants” address, honoring the generations of groundbreaking scientists furthering Newton’s observation that “If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” With this discussion, the World Science Festival invites audiences to stand on the shoulders of a modern-day giant, John Mather.
This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
