Tobias HellgrenElon Musk once starred in an episode of <a href="https://mastodon.chuggybumba.com/tags/BigBangTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBangTheory</a> where he played himself helping out in a soup kitchen. That's how you know the show is scientifically incorrect.

DoomsdaysCWSo, I know there's a lot of sexism and other problematic stuff in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBangTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBangTheory</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YoungSheldon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YoungSheldon</a>, but I do enjoy watching those shows -- since I can really identify with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SheldonCooper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SheldonCooper</a>. However, I'm also digging <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HighPotential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HighPotential</a> for similar reasons. Does anyone else in the <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a> enjoy these shows?

Michael PorterA question for the cosmologists. (I was going to say "Explain like I'm 5", but assume I've spent too much time listening to Katie Mack, Sean Carroll, Brians Greene and Cox, etc. and I have a bit of a clue... But I didn't study relativity, and have no experience with GR math).Here goes...Every time I hear "such and such happened at 10^-11 seconds, and a little later this thing happened at 10^-6 seconds" I wonder about the clock you're using. At various times in the *very* early universe, the energy density was unimaginably huge. I'm assuming that has an effect on the flow of time, as well, no? I know there's no external clock to compare to, but what is the real meaning of these times, other than as a sequence of events, when the environment is undergoing such massive changes in energy density (or matter density, if we're talking a little later)?I'm basically asking how those times are meaningful to me*, a guy thinking about it at this point in the universe, when the composition/distribution/volume of the observable universe does not faintly resemble that of the universe in the first fractions of a second that we're talking about.(*Ignore for a moment that we can't comprehend those timespans even if the universe wasn't changing)Please boost for reach if you are in the astronomy community, I'm not sure which hashtags to use for this... <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Cosmology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cosmology</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/BigBangTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBangTheory</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Relativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Relativity</a>

Michael PorterQuestion for the cosmologists: As we look farther out in space, we look farther back in time. I'm under the impression that *very* distant galaxies show earlier stages of development.How? Are their metallicities lower? Is it a structural thing? (Can we even resolve that kind of detail)?<a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Cosmology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cosmology</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/BigBangTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBangTheory</a>

Michael PorterI'm preparing to give a cosmology talk to a group of octa- and nonagenarians in a few weeks... The challenge is to give a digestible talk on Big Bang theory to a group of people who are intelligent but mostly uninformed on the topic... In 40 minutes!When I was asked, I thought, "easy, I've done this for grade 9 students dozens of times" but then found out about the time constraint. I could spend more than 40 minutes just talking about how we came to measuring distances in the cosmos, never mind the evolution of it. Never mind the technical details, I could spend 40 minutes just reviewing how our view of the universe has expanded from just our solar system, with a celstial sphere just beyond Saturn, to thinking the Milky Way *was* the universe, to where we are now, observing the vast billions-of-light-years-wide bubble that is our observatble universe. Or how about talking about the evolution of tehcnology (never mind the evolution of the necessary mindsets!) that made the observations possible?Geez, just explaining line spectra and redshift could take 40 minutes.I'm tempted to prepare talks on everything and present the talk as a "choose your own adventure" book. Maybe they'll have me back to explore the paths not taken?Any advice on how the astro communicators would approach this is welcome (or suggestions for perspcetives I might have missed!). <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Cosmology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cosmology</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ITeachScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ITeachScience</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/BigBangTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBangTheory</a>
