Hello!

I hope everyone is having a lovely day, I know I am; this day keeps on getting better and better. I finished knitting my scarf! I decided to show it off in the best possible way, hence the set on the Suicideboys forum .

I need someone to opine right about here, I am preparing a lecture for my grad seminar and I am not sure if my title is cheeky enough. The talk is on Dr. Friedmann and how he derived a very important mathematical model of our universe (idealized of course) from the Einstein Field equations. Why it is important, is that it basically proved our universe had to start with a big bang... My talk will explore how this is done and then go over the history.

The history being that Einstein believed in a static universe not an expanding one, and that pissed him off, he actually tweaked the Einstein field equations to give a static model and was mighty offended when Friedmann came along and showed that Einstein's model was a very very very special case and that in general it did not happen that way. Words were exchanged and finally Einstein was man enough to admit he was wrong .

So the title for this talk is "Dr. Friedmann, or How Einstein learned to stop worrying and Love the Big Bang"

What do you think?
