Today, we primarily occupy ourselves with alternative explanations to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Many listeners will be familiar with Pierre Marie Robitaille's theory that the CMB is produced due to the hydrogen bond lattice of the oceans. Here, Assis lays out a different theory - championed by at least four Nobel Laureates - that the CMB isn't the afterglow of the Big Bang - it's simply the temperature at which the cold, dark objects of space are equilibrated against the background light of the stars.

Podcast Episode 104 is about The Picture of the Cosmic Microwave Background captured first by the WMAP and then Planck telescope.

We love to hear from you. Send us your thought, comments, suggestions, love lettersGuest: Gian Giudice, Head of Theoretical Physics at CERNThe Cosmic Scoop:In this mind-bending episode, we dive into the deepest mysteries of our universe with Dr. Gian Giudice, Head of Theoretical Physics at CERN. Dr. Giudice takes us on a journey beyond the Big Bang, exploring the cutting-edge theories that attempt to explain the very origins of space and time. We discuss the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity, the nature of dark energy and dark matter, and the profound implications these cosmic insights have on our understanding of reality. Dr. Giudice shares his personal perspective on how studying the universe's birth shapes our view of existence and the role of humanity in this vast cosmic tapestry.Quotable Insights:"Mathematics is hardwired in nature. We don't invent it, we discover it.""The Big Bang was not an explosion of a point, but rather a phase transition that happened uniformly, modifying the properties of space.""When you look at the sky, the pattern of galaxies is telling you about the quantum fluctuations that occurred before the Big Bang.""Studying physics has not eliminated my interest in spiritual meaning. Many physicists approach this in a very individual way."Links to Explore:CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research): https://home.cern/Gian Giudice's book "Before the Big Bang" Cosmic Microwave Background information: https://science.nasa.gov/ems/09_cosmicmicrowavebackgroundMusic for the Cosmic Journey:For the "Playlist for the Aspiring Space Traveler": Gian Giudice recommends Verdi's Requiem. He describes it as "extremely live music" that pushes boundaries, challenging the traditional notion of a requiem with its powerful and energetic composition.Spread the Cosmic Love!If this episode left you star-struck and hungry for more cosmic knowledge, don't keep it to yourself!

Wendy Freedman, the former director of the Carnegie Observatories and now distinguished professor at University of Chicago, has been a leading figure in observational cosmology and astronomy for over 30 years. I have known her as a friend and colleague, and have learned much from her over the years, and was very excited to be able to snag her amidst her busy schedule to record a podcast a week or two before the release of a new blockbuster result her team had produced. I am very happy that Critical Mass listeners will be among the first to get the detailed lowdown on the likely resolution of a problem that has been plaguing cosmology for the past decade. In the 1990's Wendy led a major international team of astronomers in carrying the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was named in part because of this project, to establish the distance scale of the universe and measure its current expansion rate, a quantity not coincidentally called the Hubble Constant, first measured by Edwin Hubble in 1929. Since that time, different groups have measured this most important single observable in our universe and gotten widely different values. In the 1980's and early 90's two different groups got values that differed by a factor of 2, even though each claimed errors of less than 10%. In 2001, Freedman's team published their result, truly accurate to 10%, and the value, perhaps not surprisingly, fell right in the middle between the previous two discrepant values. All was good, until inferences based on the Cosmic Microwave Background, the most precise observable in modern cosmology suggested that measurements at a time when the universe was 300,000 years old, when extrapolated forward using the best current theory of cosmology today, would give a value that different from the HST value. The difference was statistically significant, and as time proceeded, and error bars got smaller, the discrepancy between the HST (and then the James Web Space Telescope (JWST)) measurement, and the CMB measurement got more significant. Was our current model of cosmology simply wrong?Such was the claim in various places over the past few years. Most recently, Wendy led a team to measure cosmic distances in 3 different ways using JWST, and as she describes in our discussion, it looks like the problem may now be solved, although not without leaving other mysteries.We talked about a lot more than this though. Wendy's background, what got her into astronomy, her experiences throughout her career, and her leadership in a new project building the Giant Magellan Telescope, what will be the largest telescope in the world in Chile. The discussion was as fun as it was exciting. Wendy is a wonderful popular expositor, and as always, I really enjoyed talking to her. Tune in to hear, for the first time, about the newest and most important recent result in cosmology from one of my favorite colleagues and a world class scientist.As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

Is there really a music of the spheres? And why is space so inspirational for creativity? To ponder these cosmic questions, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome noted composer and pianist Bruce Lazarus.   As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, this time in honor of our guest: the fact that the movie “Oppenheimer” won the Academy Award for Best Original Score. Chuck mentions some other incredible musical scores, especially John William's soundtrack to “Star Wars.” Bruce points out that Williams also did the theme song and soundtrack to the 1960s TV series, “Lost In Space.” And of course, his soundtracks for “Jurassic Park,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”   Bruce has composed many musical pieces inspired by and about the cosmos, including “Musical Explorations of Messier Star Clusters and Nebulae” and “Starry Messenger.”   He talks about how the early U.S. space program and the Mercury 7, and the U.S. World's Fair in 1964 inspired him. And while he got away from space-themed music for a while after his time at Juilliard in the 1970s, Bruce estimates that about two thirds of his work over the last 20 years has been astronomy themed. He talks about being inspired by other musical works, from science fiction movie soundtracks like “Arrival” to a few classical pieces like “Colors of the Celestial City” and “Visions from Beyond” by Olivier Messiaen.   For our first student question, Ariella asks, “Is there really a music of the spheres?” To answer, Bruce quotes the 5th Century Roman philosopher Boethius, who wrote about how everything is vibrating, so everything has sound. We then listen to a portion of Bruce Lazarus's piece, “Boethius Said.” Allen talks about how many aspects of our existence involve vibration and sound while Chuck brings up the Cosmic Microwave Background and Gravitational Wave Background.   Bruce talks about his cycle of 14 pieces for the solo piano inspired by the most commonly referenced Hubble images of the celestial objects found in the Messier Catalog (not to be confused with Messiaen), including Andromeda Galaxy (M31), Ring Nebula (M57), Eagle Nebula (M16), Sombrero Galaxy (M104), and the Pleiades (M45).   Our next student question comes from Gino, who asks, “Did you ever want to be a scientist before you became a composer?” Bruce explains that he's always liked building things, so he began building music the way he'd built model airplanes, and at 14 years old decided he wanted to be a composer and also focused on the piano, for both composing and making money! The trio ends up discussing the original “Tron” – and believe it or not, it's Bruce who brings it up, not our Geek-in-Chief Chuck!   Our last student question comes from Wally, who asks, “Why is space the most inspirational thing to you when writing music?” Bruce describes how space has been a large part of his life for as long as he can remember. He talks about the Veil Nebula, and why he didn't include it in his Messier cycle. He also shares his experience watching the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse, and how the reality of seeing it with his own eyes impacted him unexpectedly.   If you'd like to know more about Bruce, you can visit his website at www.brucelazaruscomposer.com.   We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.   Credits for Images Used in this Episode: – NASA's first astronauts, the “Mercury 7” – NASA, Public Domain – Olivier Messiaen – Dutch National Archives, Public Domain – Andromeda Galaxy (M31) – Kees Scherer, Public Domain – Ring Nebula (M57) – NASA, ESA, and C.

Today With Fawn Chang: Today on Window Treatments for Profit, I am joined by Fawn Chang, a behavioral interior designer, color expert and industry insider. She is sharing how our environments impact our well-being, how window treatments play a crucial role, and how we can position ourselves as consultants for healthier living spaces. Fawn has inspired audiences around the world — teaching how the brain and body interact with our surroundings, and today she is bringing insight on how to create spaces that don't just look beautiful, but actually enhance our health, wealth, and happiness…and how to sell them too. Pick It Apart [2:27] Fawn introduces ‘wellness real estate' and how wellness window treatments can be incorporated. [13:29] Fawn and LuAnn discuss biophilia, its positive impacts in an environment, and how window treatment professionals can capitalize on this. [19:49] LuAnn asks Fawn how to counsel consumers on circadian rhythms and the ideal room darkening window treatments. [24:31] Fawn explains how our bodies and subconscious minds are always reading and reacting to our environments, and the implications of the low-level stress they can cause. [31:02] Fawn and LuAnn discuss body language and best practices when it comes to body language and sales. [50:59] LuAnn reiterates the tools she and Fawn discussed, and shares how these can make you — the window treatment professional — more valuable to interior designers and worth a higher rate. LuAnn and Fawn Chang's Ah-Ha Moments “The outside is always moving in a fashion that is more random than what we see on the our screens, right? That calms the body that puts us into our rest, restore, digest, create, and play mode. We have access to higher order thinking in our brain. We have access to the healing aspects of our body, and then…as long as it's tracking the sunlight, our body's rhythms can train to where they're meant to be.” - Fawn Chang “[In interior design] biophilia feels very normal now, but I have never ever thought about how window treatment people should be capitalizing and leveraging it.” - LuAnn Nigara “Our body and unconscious mind is reading the environment about eight-and-a-half seconds before our thinking mind is aware…Your unconscious reads it, evaluates it, qualifies it.” - Fawn Chang “Embracing Biophilia design and wellness design and having it as another tool in our toolbox as window treatment professionals — we're going to be more important to interior designers. And…consumers will pay easily up to 20% more for products when wellness design is important to them…when it matters to that person, they will pay more.” - LuAnn Nigara “We're not trying to manipulate somebody, we're actually trying to create a connection. That's the whole basis of of sales, and all of this — talking about the neuroscience of having someone feel comfortable in their own house so that you can get to the next level of the sales conversation with them. It's looking for a genuine beginning of a relationship.” - LuAnn Nigara  More About Fawn Chang With over 2500 presentations delivered to audiences internationally, Fawn inspires and shifts perceptions that change lives.  She has a remarkable ability to allow her audience to see how the brain/body work and how to make simple changes for better business, better health, wealth, longevity and more profit.   Fawn's passion is people and she knows that life was NEVER meant to be a struggle.  Using neuroscience, she shows how the human spirit in each of us is confounded by what is in our environment, which speaks to the unconscious mind creating our behavior.  Our true nature begs to be brought forth but is locked within our environments.   Fawn delivers easily digestible, practical and easy-to-implement actionable tips and tools, backed by modern science, ready for immediate application enjoyable, approachable and understandable all with delightful humor. Fawn Chang is a Keynote Speaker, International Interior Designer, Color Marketing and Trending Expert and a Feng Shui Expert.  A former Medical Practice Administrator and teacher, Fawn's presentations bring together neurophysiology and design with conversational style, humor and actionable takeaways. Significantly, she was the designer on a multi-state study to determine the influence of color on students' engagement with incredible results, moving students and teachers from 50% engagement to 100% engagement just with the use and designed placement of wall color.    Fawn writes Health, Safety & Wellness Certified CEU approved seminars and workshops for delivery to design professionals, architects (AIA Certified)  interior designers (IDCEC Certified), builders and general audiences.  Fawn works with the world's foremost paint companies to help audiences understand the power and impact of color and design in their lives.  Fawn has worked with PPGPaints, Exciting Windows & Exciting Colors, and currently works with the over 68 Global and Independent Manufacturers who are Members of  Color Guild International.

This is an exploration of the greatest discoveries in cosmology, the great scientists and astronomers behind them, and the still unresolved mysteries of the Universe at the most extreme scales of time, gravity, and distance across the deepest space.  This is part of a larger script I wrote for the James Webb Space Telescope: The Big Bang, Dark Matter, the Cosmic Microwave Background, Cosmic Web Filaments, the End of Greatness, Inflation, Dark Energy, and there's still so many questions about the nature of our Universe. Tonight we learn what the current lambda cold dark matter big bang model of the universe says happened from the first few seconds to the first few million years after the universe was thought have come into existence. We learn what older cosmological theories evolved into and how our conception of light, matter and energy has changed over that last few centuries as our understanding of them has deepened. We learn what the biggest mysteries of physics and cosmology still are and about the huge gaps in our understanding of the cosmic dark ages, the dark matter halos around nearly all galaxies, and how the still-mysterious phenomena of the big bang, inflation, and dark energy is propelling galaxies apart.

Constraining primordial tensor features with the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background by Jan Hamann et al. on Tuesday 29 November It is commonly assumed that the stochastic background of gravitational waves on cosmological scales follows an almost scale-independent power spectrum, as generically predicted by the inflationary paradigm. However, it is not inconceivable that the spectrum could have strongly scale-dependent features, generated, e.g., via transient dynamics of spectator axion-gauge fields during inflation. Using the temperature and polarisation maps from the textit{Planck} and BICEP/Keck datasets, we search for such features, taking the example of a log-normal bump in the primordial tensor spectrum at CMB scales. We do not find any evidence for the existence of bump-like tensor features at present, but demonstrate that future CMB experiments such as LiteBIRD and CMB-S4 will greatly improve our prospects of determining the amplitude, location and width of such a bump. We also highlight the role of delensing in constraining these features at angular scales $ellgtrsim 100$. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.00827v2

The Hubble Constant Troubled by Dark Matter in Non-Standard Cosmologies by Jailson S. Alcaniz et al. on Tuesday 29 November The Standard Cosmological Model has experienced tremendous success at reproducing observational data by assuming a universe dominated by a cosmological constant and dark matter in a flat geometry. However, several studies, based on local measurements, indicate that the universe is expanding too fast, in disagreement with the Cosmic Microwave Background. Taking into account combined data from CMB, Baryon Acoustic Oscillation, and type Ia Supernovae, we show that if the mechanism behind the production of dark matter particles has at least a small non-thermal origin, one can induce larger values of the Hubble rate $H_0$, within the $Lambda$CDM, to alleviate the trouble with $H_0$. In the presence of non-standard cosmology, however, we can fully reconcile CMB and local measurements and reach $H_0=70-74, {rm km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}$. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.14345v1

Constraining dark matter decays with cosmic microwave background and weak lensing shear observations by Jozef Bucko et al. on Tuesday 29 November From observations of both low and high redshifts, it is well known that the bulk of dark matter (DM) has to be stable or, at least, very long-lived. However, the possibility that a small fraction of DM is unstable or that all of DM decays with a half-life time ($tau$) significantly larger than the age of the universe is not ruled out. One-body decaying dark matter (DDM) consists of a minimal extension to the $Lambda$CDM model. It causes a modification of the cosmic growth history as well as a suppression of the small-scale clustering signal, providing interesting consequences regarding the $S_8$-tension, the observed differences of the clustering amplitude between weak lensing (WL) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations. In this paper we investigate models where a fraction or all DM decays into radiation, focusing on the long-lived regime i.e. $tau gtrsim H_0^{-1}$ ( $H_0^{-1}$ being the Hubble time). We use WL data from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) and CMB data from Planck. First, we confirm that this DDM model cannot alleviate the $S_8$-tension. We then show that the most constraining power for DM decays does not come from the nonlinear weak lensing data but from CMB via the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect. From the CMB data alone, we obtain constraints of $tau geq 288$ Gyr if all the DM is assumed to be unstable, and we show that a maximum fraction of $f=0.07$ is allowed to decay assuming the half-life time to be comparable to (or smaller than) one Hubble time. The constraints from the KiDS-1000 WL data are significantly weaker, being at $tau geq 60$ Gyr and $f

Impact of Anisotropic Birefringence on Measuring Cosmic Microwave Background Lensing by Hongbo Cai et al. on Monday 19 September The power spectrum of cosmic microwave background lensing is a powerful tool for constraining fundamental physics such as the sum of neutrino masses and the dark energy equation of state. Current lensing measurements primarily come from distortions to the microwave background temperature field, but the polarization lensing signal will dominate upcoming experiments with greater sensitivity. Cosmic birefringence refers to the rotation of the linear polarization direction of microwave photons propagating from the last scattering surface to us, which can be induced by parity-violating physics such as axion-like dark matter or primordial magnetic fields. We find that, for an upcoming CMB-S4-like experiment, if there exists the scale-invariant anisotropic birefringence with an amplitude corresponding to the current $95%$ upper bound, the measured lensing power spectrum could be biased by up to a factor of few at small scales, $Lgtrsim 1000$. We show that the bias scales linearly with the amplitude of the scale-invariant birefringence spectrum. The signal-to-noise of the contribution from anisotropic birefringence is larger than unity even if the birefringence amplitude decreases to $sim 5%$ of the current upper bound. Our results indicate that a measurement and characterization of the anisotropic birefringence is important for lensing analysis in future low-noise polarization experiments. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.08749v1

"De-kSZing" the cosmic microwave background with surveys of large-scale structure by Simon Foreman et al. on Sunday 11 September The kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect will be an important source of cosmological and astrophysical information in upcoming surveys of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). However, the kSZ effect will also act as the dominant source of noise for several other measurements that use small angular scales in CMB temperature maps, since its blackbody nature implies that standard component separation techniques cannot be used to remove it from observed maps. In this paper, we explore the idea of "de-kSZing": constructing a template for the late-time kSZ effect using external surveys of large-scale structure, and then subtracting this template from CMB temperature maps in order to remove some portion of the kSZ signal. After building intuition for general aspects of the de-kSZing procedure, we perform forecasts for the de-kSZing efficiency of several large-scale structure surveys, including BOSS, DESI, Roman, MegaMapper, and PUMA. We also highlight potential applications of de-kSZing to cosmological constraints from the CMB temperature power spectrum, CMB lensing reconstruction, and the moving-lens effect. While our forecasts predict achievable de-kSZing efficiencies of 10-20% at best, these results are specific to the de-kSZing formalism adopted in this work, and we expect that higher efficiencies are possible using improved versions of this formalism. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.03973v1

Will Kinney is a professor in the Department of Physics at the University at Buffalo, SUNY, where he has been on faculty since 2003. Dr. Kinney's research focuses on the physics of the very early universe, including inflationary cosmology, the Cosmic Microwave Background, Dark Matter, and Dark Energy. He has authored more than seventy published research articles and received the SUNY Chancellor's award for excellence in teaching in 2014. In his new book, An Infinity of Worlds, physicist Will Kinney explains the theory that may hold the answers to these questions such as Why is the universe so big? Why is it so old? What is the origin of structure in the cosmos? It may even explain the ultimate origins of the universe. The theory of cosmic inflation, before the primordial fire of the Big Bang. Kinney argues that cosmic inflation is a transformational idea in cosmology, changing our picture of the basic structure of the cosmos and raising unavoidable questions about what we mean by a scientific theory. He explains that inflation is a remarkable unification of inner space and outer space, in which the physics of the very large (the cosmos) meets the physics of the very small (elementary particles and fields), closing in a full circle at the first moment of time. With quantum uncertainty its fundamental feature, this new picture of cosmic origins introduces the possibility that the origin of the universe was of a quantum nature.  Kinney considers the consequences of eternal cosmic inflation. Can we come to terms with the possibility that our entire observable universe is one of infinitely many, forever hidden from our view?

We like to think we understand ordinary matter: the stuff we're familiar with that makes up stars, planets, and donuts. Sure Dark Energy and Dark Matter are mysterious, but the rest we have a handle on. Or do we? The New Horizons mission adds to a growing puzzle about the Cosmic Optical Background, not to be confused with the Cosmic Microwave Background, which is a beast of an entirely different color!

Sutter, astrophysicist and the one and only Agent to the Stars.

Proof of the Big Bang had eluded astrophysicists throughout the early 20th century. That is until two radio-astronomers working for a telephone company stumbled upon of of the most significant find in cosmology. Join us as we listen to the universe weave a tale of childhood escapes from Nazi Germany, experimental satellites, and pigeon murder! Along the way we explore the proper way to measure your PhD and speculate as to what exactly "pigeon fanciers" do with all those pigeons. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bunsenburnerpod/support
