What’s Wrong With the Big Bang Theory?
Season 2
Episode 19
Let’s look further into what we don’t yet know about the Big Bang, and how the theory could progress in the future. Since there is a discrepancy between general relativity and quantum mechanics, we continue to search for a grand unifying theory... one which may finally lead to a description of the actual moment of the Big Bang!
