IELTS Listening - Tapescript
Einstein’s Blackboard was used in a lecture in Oxford on the 16th of May 1931. At that time, his theories of relativity were being combined with astronomical data to explain the shifts towards the red in the spectra of distant galaxies, which indicated that the universe was expanding. In his lecture Einstein outlined a fairly simple model to explain this apparent expansion.The last four lines on the blackboard contain numerical data, giving values for the density, radius and age of the universe, where ‘L. J’ stands for ‘Licht Jahr’, Light Year and ‘J’ for ‘Jahr’ meaning year. According to the last line, the age of the universe is about 10, or perhaps 100 billion years. The bracket indicates an alternative figure, not a product of two figures.
Einstein’s blackboard deals with some of the most fundamental questions in cosmology.
