there a crisis in cosmology?! Well, not exactly. You see, there’s
not just one crisis in cosmology. There are many crises! But don’t
worry, that’s a good thing. Crises are what scientists live for!
And what a time it is to be a cosmologist. We are at the forefront
of uncovering the universe’s greatest mysteries, and we get to play
with cutting-edge technology!  Recently, I got to share this
passion of mine with Abhijit Chavda’s audience on his incredible
show. We discussed the new and exciting breakthroughs that have
been making headlines recently. But we also dove fearlessly into
some of the most fundamental questions in cosmology that have been
agitating the minds of thinkers for centuries. It was delightful to
discuss the current state and future of cosmology. I hope you will
enjoy it as much as I did! Tune in. Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro
