- (Upon Reflection series) Host Marcia Alvar speaks with George Smoot, astrophysicist, and author of Wrinkles in Time. They discuss Dr. Smoot's quest to discover the origins of the universe. The first step was to recognize and work with the four basic observations of the know universe: the universe has order; it is expanding; it is composed of common elements; and it has temperature. Building upon these tenants, scientists were able to create a very sensitive dish that received relic heat radiation that still exists from the earlier universe. Using this data they were able to construct a picture of the universe when it was only 3,000 years old.
