GENIUS by Stephen Hawking
Replicating the Big Bang on Ice
00:47 - 05:25
Stephen Hawking tasks a team of volunteers with replicating the Big Bang on in a hockey rink. The volunteers decide to stand next to each other and inflate balloons to simulate an "explosion." They enlist the help of a professional hockey team since they have trouble staying on the ice and need more people to create a better representation of the Big Bang.

so
0:48
they're telling kids to replicate the pic banged on nice
0:52
to work out why galaxies counterpart just
0:54
rumor
0:55
move
0:56
fastest
0:59
first
0:59
they'll need to get their skates on
1:03
but I've made an unusual addition to
1:05
their skating
1:06
years
1:08
on the table
1:09
there are
1:10
leaf blowers
1:11
with
1:12
balloons on them
1:13
which is
1:13
very odd
1:14
that that that
1:15
you do it
1:16
yeah
1:16
give it a go
1:18
both
1:19
no one
1:21
will my volunteers
1:22
work out
1:23
what is made can go exits move this
1:25
way
1:27
I think we should be on the ice
1:31
we figure that
1:31
if we had to the center of the ice that will be a good place to start
1:35
you don't have to
1:36
find out
1:36
how we're actually gonna we enact this big
1:38
banks
1:39
I can hardly Unna
1:45
given that
1:47
okay
1:48
we need to find
1:48
a way
1:49
to use these blows and Disney
1:51
Lois
1:51
to reiterate
1:52
how they got Alexis
1:54
of
1:54
moving
1:56
it's an explosion essentially is not right
1:59
we're thinking that we need to cause some sort of explosion
2:01
what do we have that is expanding
2:03
overtly
2:04
these balloons
2:05
Missouri put these windows ever maybe and then
2:08
that is because of the expansion
2:10
so we spend it
2:11
against each other
2:12
by what
2:13
we know about what's going like yeah
2:16
re direct
2:16
all of our
2:17
blowers to Ortiz other
2:19
one
2:20
two
2:20
three
2:28
do
2:28
other than you get high agree
2:31
alright guys
2:33
one
2:37
movement
2:38
thing that
2:38
lets us down
2:40
is our ability on the ice
2:43
my goal in two years maybe in a different
2:45
radically
2:47
when it somehow and
2:50
we
2:51
enlisted
2:51
the
2:52
protein
2:52
we wondered if you could
2:54
so we approach things dies an Oscar three volunteers
2:57
any Clinton I think to take our place on the ice
3:00
it was only
3:01
being squeezed them in together
3:03
position they collisions where we want
3:05
them
3:06
and on the counter
3:07
three
3:07
awesome to switch them on
3:09
a kite
3:10
very
3:11
one
3:12
she
3:15
I %HESITATION
3:17
it's great I think you know
3:19
it was clear that we have to
3:20
principal it was working
3:22
but
3:23
it wasn't
3:23
quite the Big Bang that we were looking for
3:26
she won the skyline out
3:27
bring will play
3:28
well as in
3:29
more millions more players maybe
3:31
yeah
3:32
bring everybody in
3:37
no
3:37
it's all in tears Zurbriggen
3:39
you asked pal and expanding
3:41
the first good work
3:42
but it does give us
3:46
their skills up simulation
3:48
closer
3:49
finding out where the universe began
3:53
I think five
4:05
start with the three guys that you did
4:07
but that will create an awning
4:09
keen
4:12
in the middle
4:13
how many of those
4:17
okay
4:17
are you ready guys
4:19
right
4:20
in drag
4:20
though
4:36
the buildings in the sun
4:37
right
4:39
the balloons were expanding
4:41
further by
4:41
well
4:43
the more speed you have the more distant
4:46
what do you think
4:47
I think this explains why
4:49
the galaxy is the word for it away
4:52
were moving
4:52
fast
4:53
faster
4:54
than they once away
4:55
I need
4:56
scum of those galaxies
4:58
a rule moving away
4:59
from each other
5:01
%HESITATION
5:02
and the further away the off from each other
5:04
faster than moving away
5:06
that was very interesting to see
5:08
so
5:08
what
5:09
does this mean
5:09
for
5:10
the way the universe is expanding
5:13
we start to think about
5:15
what
5:16
it's actually causing the players to move
5:18
if the galaxies are all moving away from each other
5:21
what is it about the balloon that makes fun
