Explore groundbreaking research on cosmic time dilation in quasars during this physics lecture by Professor Geraint Lewis from the University of Sydney. Delve into the fascinating discovery that confirms a key cosmological prediction - the distant universe running in slow motion. Learn how recent findings not only validate the existence of an expanding universe but also effectively challenge and disprove alternative cosmological theories. Throughout the 52-minute presentation, examine the complex relationship between supernovae, quasars, and the temporal dynamics of the early universe, gaining insights into how these astronomical phenomena contribute to our understanding of cosmic evolution.
