A Harvard Astrochemist on Cosmology—And Why It Matters [Video & Audio] | Purposeful Universe

However, cosmology has not been constant—or accurate—over the ages. In this clip from the Science and Religion Institute at the University of Notre Dame, Harvard astrochemist Karin Öberg, Ph.D. presents a comprehensive overview of cosmology from the medieval ages to the present.
