I loved this episode! It was definitely worth the wait!! It may be a lot of pressure to put out one amazing podcast after another but it certainly doesn’t seem that way. I just hear two intelligent, funny and insightful physicists discussing incredibly interesting papers! BTW, is the cosmic microwave background a quintessence?

Thanks, Linda! I hope we can get some more good ones up soon! My understanding is that the cosmic microwave background is the one of the ways we measure the evolution of the universe. Quintessence is a class of models that purport to show why the CMB measurements show the results they do. The Chameleon Field* meets the requirements for a quintessence model. * Autocorrect says: "Chameleon Fowl." I envision this to be a camouflaged chicken, possibly with an army helmet.
