Why watch

This video addresses widespread misconceptions about the Big Bang, explaining that the Big Bang didn't happen at a single point and the universe isn't expanding into anything. It clarifies that the Big Bang describes the expansion of space itself from an extremely hot, dense state, not an explosion into pre-existing space.
