Powers of Ten: A Rapid Tour of the Universe — The Origins Podcast (Lawrence Krauss)
Update: 2025-11-26
Description
Start here for a mind-bending, scale-shifting tour from quarks to galaxy filaments. In this 4-minute condensation of a 1-hour mini-course, host Lawrence Krauss uses the elegant “powers of ten” framework to map physical reality from 10^-28 to 10^28 meters. Learn how telescopes and accelerators probe early-universe cosmology, why four forces shape everything from chemistry to cosmic structure, and how concepts like dark matter, the Higgs, and the Big Bang fit into a single scaled picture. You’ll come away with concrete takeaways about cosmic time, the origin of mass, and the role of empirical tests in modern physics. Perfect for seekers of cosmology, quantum mechanics, and big-picture science. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
