McPherson Lecture in Physics 2008 seminar. Guest speake r: Professor George Smoot\, University of California\, Berkeley\, who was co-awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the blackb ody nature and the anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiati on. The cosmic microwave background radiation is a relic of the Big Bang\, and the long-sought-after anisotropies in this radiation are the seeds on which gravity works to grow the galaxies\, clusters of galaxies\, and clu sters of clusters which are observed in the universe today. In this public lecture\, Prof. Smoot will give an overview of the view of the structure and early history of the universe which emerges from the recent observatio nal results. In addition to his vigorous research activities\, Prof. Smoot lectures extensively on cosmology and has co-authored a popular science b ook\, 'Wrinkles in Time.'\n DTSTART:20080214T233000Z DTEND:20080215T003000Z LOCATION:Adams Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0E8\, 3450 rue Universit y SUMMARY:Relics of the Big Bang URL:/channels/event/relics-big-bang-28466 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
