What If the Cosmological Constant Is Not Constant?
Season 10
Episode 23
We know that the universe is getting bigger. And we know that the speed that the universe is getting bigger is also getting bigger.

But a recent survey of primordial sound waves frozen into the way galaxies are sprinkled through the universe reveals that this fate is now in question.
