Was anybody recording it? I mean properly recording with a decent camera(or cameras) on tripod and audio equipment, not on their cell phone.

I'd love to watch that.
Well it was live broadcasting from the main auditorium to the secondary one where all the overflow people went. I'm not sure if that means it was also legit recorded or not, though.

While it is a little older this talk with Neil and Stephen Colbert (mostly out of character) is a good indication of the general tone of his talks, when not in a panel line-up anyway.

The universe was so dense no radiation could escape.

I think.

From what I understand, it was more that the early universe was so hot that even what we think of as the basic building blocks of matter couldn't exist. It took a while for the universe to cool down enough to start coalescing into things like electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Yeah, I've watched this a while ago and a bunch other talks he's done. Which is why I'd be interested in seeing the latest talk as well.

He talked about developing his character and the science behind the Superman comic he was in with DC Comics, as well as how the time travel scenario from the Terminator movies could have been simplified, among other topics. Stuff y'all really would have enjoyed :D

If people are interested or want to lwarn more about radio astronomy and the future of the field I suggest you listen to a bit of this Q&A panel about the Australian portion of the Square Kilometer Array which is to be built over the next decade. It goes into the capability of the project and what it aims to achieve using terms you'll be familiar with due to watching Cosmos.

If you want to skip the intro go to ~1 minute 40 and watch for the film before the panel discussion for a ton of information.
