Craig Hogan

Craig Hogan, an astrophysicist at the University of Chicago and former director at Fermilab, dives into the mysteries of the universe. He explains the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as the primordial afterglow from the Big Bang, detailing its surprising uniformity and what it reveals about our universe. Hogan discusses the anomalies that challenge existing theories and the potential need for new physics. He also explores how tiny fluctuations in the CMB helped form galaxies and emphasizes the exciting future of cosmic research through advanced observatories.
