Our Monday expert today has a topic that's a bit bigger than most.. The universe.

Professor Richard Easther is a Cosmologist. He heads the department of physics at the University of Auckland where he focuses on the physics of the very early universe.

He's joins Jesse in the Auckland studio to talk about how we measure the properties of the universe... from when the big bang occured, to how fast it the universe is expanding.
