Some good stuff by Lawrence Krauss on big cosmology, starts with a lot of familiar info but it gets pretty revealing about the theories behind spontaneous creation of a universe from nothing. I had a few real a-ha moments. One thing that surprised me is that he seems convinced that the universe is closed but just so big that it appears flat to us, a thought I've often had myself, and he actually explains the physics behind it. 

There's some overlap in this talk but it has a lot more on gravitational waves, fundamental forces at the big bang and inflation theory.
