UQ
What is expanding space? What came before the big bang? What causes the expansion? What expands? Is there an edge to space?
We frequently get asked by friends and family, often over a beer, but they’re rarely covered in our physics education.
So come along and beef up your cocktail party conversation repertoire by hearing about these and other cosmological conundrums, such as how the expansion can exceed the speed of light without violating relativity, and where the energy goes when photons are redshifted by the expansion of the universe.
