Lecture 1 of Leonard Susskind’s Modern Physics concentrating on Cosmology. Recorded January 13, 2009 at Stanford University. This Stanford Continuing Studies course is the fifth of a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on classical mechanics. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

    @JamesTKirkCobain Your sarcasm is not wanted here, but if that’s what you’re doing. You actually could be legitimately interested and miss put your words, but if you’re being sarcastic leave and let us learn.

    Ooh cosmology! I am like so totally interested in this. I always wanted to work with make-up and stuff.

    @northanortha He’s actually 32, physics just ages people with no remorse.

    @MrWrof AND he does a great Christopher Walkin impression! Listen to him!! haha

    John Malkovich teaches cosmology?? And he grew a beard? I did NOT know that :-o

    Is it gonna explain the expantion within the atom : a*(M^2*planck const)/Mp*Me with relativity to Hubble’s law?

    Obtained a lot of information. Excellent

    We are all trying to reach that perfect nirvanic state of bliss or the Hinduic Brahma state that was responsible for the creation before the Big Bang.
    What the Andromedans or Orions call the Alpha state of mind consciousness.
    The higher states being the alpha, beta, delta, and lambda I believe. Or the tau state.
    Check out contactees such as Billy Meier and Dr. John Greer, etc.

    Self Proclaimed Genius says:
    Although galaxies move independently from each other there rotational movements are bound by dark energy proceeding from there centers.

    The blissful state of ecstasy that is those spirits that have attained spiritual enlightenment to the highest degree and become the molecular plasmic light energy that created the entire Universe at the moment of the Big Bang. Able to meld with the Source which is all of us in the infinite and eternal that we are trying to learn how to get back into.

    This mass or dark energy is what makes galaxies rotate in the same differential space time relationship across hundreds of light years instantaneously and I believe this force to be Mind Consciousness that is faster than light speed and makes up the entire Universe.

    However, there wouldn’t be time variance with dark energy if acting instantaneously throughout the galaxy from the center so that all stars rotate together. So there must be a force greater than gravity acting upon the entire mass of the entire galaxy.

    It appears as if the universe is accelerating faster away from us the further the distance because we are moving faster away from the center region of the Big Bang looking back into time. We being the lighter material that was flung out first and is slowing down but looking backwards in time we see time just after the big bang.

    If the Universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, and is why we cannot see past 13.5 billion light years, then it must be expanding instantaneously as the galaxies move in circular motion instantaneously, both stars near center and in outer bands of galaxies.
    Since we are looking into the past however as you look away from our galaxy you are actually seeing our own galaxy coming out of a higher dimension of 6 or 7 into a lower energy state.

    If a galaxy is all moving together then there must be a force that is acting simultaneously and instantaneously throughout the galaxy. This force is thought to be dark matter, perhaps from the central super black hole region.
    The region containing the molecular plasmic energy of the supreme consciousness that makes up the light mind of the Universe that is us and God the Creator.
