Episode: Why the CMB Is Evidence Against the Big Bang - Dr. André Assis, DemystiCon '25, DemystifySci #352
Description: What if one of modern cosmology’s greatest triumphs was built on a false story? In this talk from DemystiCon: Beyond the Big Bang, physicist and historian of science Dr. Andre Koch Torres Assis digs deep into the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the so-called “fingerprint” of the Big Bang, and uncovers a history that challenges the dominant narrative. Contrary to popular belief, George Gamow and the Big Bang camp never predicted the CMB’s 2.7K temperature. In fact, their estimates were off by nearly an order of magnitude. Meanwhile, steady-state cosmologists consistently predicted the correct...
