here's part of the universe here, here's part of the universe here, part of the universe here and all are flying apart. there's nothing else that exist just this and there they go. any force of attraction between these phases? how many say, yeah? it turns out this would be attracted to here, this would be attracted to here, be attracted to here and all these will act as if what? it'll all act right back down there and this would act back down there. therefore, these things would be going against a gravitational force. if that's true and the universe exploded, does that mean as time goes by the universe will speed up or the universe would slow down? and it turns out the universe should slow down if this model is correct, and you know what? when the astronomer types look out in the heavens, they find out that the universe is slowing down. you know, how they know that? because when you look at the things that are furthest ago, i mean, furthest away and the thing that's furthest away is longest to go. you guys hit to the idea that it takes 8 minutes for the sunlight to get from the sun, r

some time later, this is what the universe looked like. this is a real picture, 380,000 years after the big bang, when the first elements formed. by studying this, scientists hope to learn more about what happened next, the formation of the first hours, galaxies, and planets. but the results are not quite with the cosmologists had expected. this might mean that there is of how the universe began and evolved may need to be reconsidered and the map may even reveal what happened before the big bang. >> it is perfectly feasible that signatures, find information that tells us about tellsre-big bang place or us the structure of what was there at the time. >> these results are preliminary. but already the are challenging the foundations of our current understanding of how the universe works ou. >>> certainly challenging the understanding of my brain about it. for more on what this picture reveals, i am joined by a professor of physics at the university of maryland. jim, thank you for coming in. you do a lot of work on the origins of the universe.

so far universities have been very reluctant to accept any credit from online universities are. you changing that? >> you know, because the classes we're offering is by what 62 of the top universities around the world, many universities have already started of their own, by themselves. we had nothing to do with, to offer academic credit for our courses. in fact a month ago, also ace, the american council for accreditation, recommended five of our courses for credit. what that means, students would be able to take some of our courses and get them transferred potentially for academic credit into a large number of universities around the world. now just five classes but hopefully more over time will be potentially good for academic credit good towards a degree. david: here you have competition coming in the picture because these colleges and universities are charging enormous sums. $60,000 a year at boston college, just to name one i know very well. and you're offering similar thing for free. if you get credit for it for free, frankly a lot of parents out there may make the switch.

why are some of the top achievers missing out on a shot to go to some of the best universities?ey brown explores that question, part of our continuing coverage on inequality in america. sphwhrow for years, colleges and universities have been trying to diversify the student body not just by ethnicity but gk as well. despite high-profile moves at some schools to do so, including big boost in financial assistance and full tuition, the numbers still falling short of the goal. a recent study is shedding new light on the problem and what's behind it. the analysis found just 34% of high-achieving seniors from the lower end of the income ladder attend one of the 238 most select schools. by comparison, nearly 80% of high-achieving students from the upper end of the income ladder attend an elite school. there are many more higher achieving students from lower income backgrounds than schools know of or are recruiting. the lead author of the study joins us, and michelle minter vice provost for equity at princeton university. and i learned just now as we sit down they are sisters. welcome to
