Abstract

Recently, I was at CERN (the famous European centre for nuclear research) at a conference on the Big Bang. When I said to my teenage son that I was going to talk about the Big Bang, we had a moment of confusion. My mind was focused on quantum fluctuations leading to inflationary, then Hubble, expansion. His mind was somewhere else. He had an image of Dr Sheldon Cooper and the hit US sitcom about science nerds, and a theme tune by a group called the Barenaked Ladies.
