NOVA Now Universe Revealed Podcast Episode I The Big Bang: Started From Inflation, Now We’re Here
For tens of thousands of years, humans have pondered eternal questions like “How does our world even exist?” and “Where did we come from?” Now, more than ever, scientists are finding answers within the Big Bang theory.

About 13.8 billion years ago, in a fraction of a fraction of a second, the universe expanded into being. The event, astronomers believe, was less of an explosion than a transformation of energy into matter: As this so-called inflation slowed, it gave way to matter, radiation, and all we know today.
But more questions loom. To learn how scientists came up with the Big Bang theory, Dr. Alok Patel hears from a physicist and a cosmologist about the forces that shaped our early universe and the tools researchers use to peer back in time. And, he learns what scientists’ understanding of the universe’s origins can tell us about its ultimate end.

This is NOT the i hour NOVA documentary. This is a series (that seems rather childish). So, HOW DO WE ACCESS THE NOVA (1 hour) Documentary titled: "Universe Revealed"?

Understanding how we got here first is needed to understand why.

Glad to see virtue signalling hasn't influenced Nova's casting choices. Does it have to be sooooo obvious ?…No more $ from me for PBS

I'm unsubscribing now. Every video is audio only. Very disappointing and pretty stupid.

how do we know the "Big Bang" wasn't the result of another universe getting sucked into a black hole, and creating an entirely new universe? (US, our universe)

Dumb dumb speculation based on false basic understanding of the universe 👎

This is NOT A VIDEO!!!!! The extremeness of the numbers is lost on the children!! The vocal EMOTIONAL EXAGGERATION is LOST on any adults stupid enough not to turn this off.
These explanations are below basic, and the "SING-SONGY" emphasis is INANE. I must go to the YouTube Home Page and ask to never recommend this channel again.

I'm nobody, but intuition has been telling me that correct Big Bang was the beginning of TIME. However something was in existence prior. That is a (or the) 3rd dimension. Where TIME does not exist, thus by definition it HAD to be in existence prior to the birth of our 4th liner TIME line universe.

Speculative banter is not scientific evidence or history. Just guessing at best.
