Wednesday, March 11, 2026 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Title: The Cosmic Microwave Background Explained for Everyone Abstract: The Universe is permeated by photons that are cosmological in origin and almost as old as the Universe itself. They are what we call the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). In this talk, I will describe how we observe the CMB and what information we can extract from it, as well as explain the physics behind it. This talk is explicitly aimed undergraduate students regardless of their major.
