when<00:01:14.439> they<00:01:14.560> didn't<00:01:14.840> have<00:01:15.040> any<00:01:15.960> but<00:01:16.080> we<00:01:16.159> would
when they didn't have any but we would
when they didn't have any but we would
also<00:01:16.479> like<00:01:16.600> to<00:01:17.119> understand<00:01:17.360> it<00:01:17.560> as<00:01:17.640> a
also like to understand it as a
also like to understand it as a
cosmologist<00:01:18.360> I<00:01:18.439> want<00:01:18.560> to<00:01:18.720> ask<00:01:19.119> why<00:01:19.520> is<00:01:19.680> the
cosmologist I want to ask why is the
cosmologist I want to ask why is the
universe<00:01:20.360> like<00:01:20.680> this<00:01:21.400> one<00:01:21.640> big<00:01:21.880> clue<00:01:22.119> we<00:01:22.320> have
universe like this one big clue we have
universe like this one big clue we have
is<00:01:22.600> that<00:01:22.720> the<00:01:22.799> universe<00:01:23.119> is<00:01:23.320> changing<00:01:24.159> with
is that the universe is changing with
is that the universe is changing with
time<00:01:24.840> if<00:01:24.920> you<00:01:25.159> looked<00:01:25.360> at<00:01:25.479> one<00:01:25.560> of<00:01:25.680> these
time if you looked at one of these
time if you looked at one of these
galaxies<00:01:26.240> and<00:01:26.360> measured<00:01:26.680> its<00:01:26.880> velocity<00:01:27.720> it
galaxies and measured its velocity it
galaxies and measured its velocity it
would<00:01:27.960> be<00:01:28.079> moving<00:01:28.439> away<00:01:28.840> from<00:01:29.119> you<00:01:29.720> and<00:01:29.880> and<00:01:29.960> if
would be moving away from you and and if
would be moving away from you and and if
you<00:01:30.119> look<00:01:30.200> at<00:01:30.280> a<00:01:30.439> Galaxy<00:01:30.799> even<00:01:31.000> further<00:01:31.320> away
you look at a Galaxy even further away
you look at a Galaxy even further away
it<00:01:31.560> would<00:01:31.680> be<00:01:31.799> moving<00:01:32.159> away<00:01:32.759> faster<00:01:33.560> so<00:01:33.720> we<00:01:33.840> say
it would be moving away faster so we say
it would be moving away faster so we say
