Book Description
The quest to uncover the secrets of the universe is one of humanity’s oldest and most profound desires. This book invites you on a journey of discovery at the intersection of quantum physics and cosmology, offering a universal exploration of the cosmos. The connections between the physical realities of both the micro and macro scales challenge not only modern science but also the limits of human thought. This work is an attempt to understand the workings of the universe through the fusion of two distinct fields: quantum physics and cosmology. Within this book, we delve into a wide array of fascinating questions, from the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to the nature of time, from dark energy and cosmic consciousness to the deepest inquiries about the essence of the universe and existence itself. The uncertainty of the quantum world, the mysterious nature of particles and energy, cosmic connections, and the nature of quantum time at the beginning of the universe are all key themes explored in this text. Each chapter reflects a desire to further uncover the mysteries of the cosmos while also exploring what these discoveries mean for humanity. This journey across the smallest building blocks of the universe to its largest structural features is not only a scientific endeavor but also a philosophical inquiry into the meaning of the great cosmic puzzle that surrounds us. Quantum physics, one of the most powerful theories of all time, continues to present a range of questions and possibilities as we strive to understand how the universe truly operates. Yet, when we realize that quantum mechanics extends beyond the atomic scale and is intricately linked to the structures of the cosmos, we see the need for a much broader framework to fully comprehend the universe. This book was written to meet that need: to provide an in-depth look at both the macro and micro scales of the universe at the convergence of quantum physics and cosmology. Readers will discover the powerful connections between the complex world of quantum physics and the universal questions of cosmology within these pages, and perhaps reshape their own perspectives on the meaning of the universe.

Bright Galaxies, Dark Matter, and Beyond
Author: Ashley Jean Yeager
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262366878
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
How Vera Rubin convinced the scientific community that dark matter might exist, persevering despite early dismissals of her work. We now know that the universe is mostly dark, made up of particles and forces that are undetectable even by our most powerful telescopes. The discovery of the possible existence of dark matter and dark energy signaled a Copernican-like revolution in astronomy: not only are we not the center of the universe, neither is the stuff of which we’re made. Astronomer Vera Rubin (1928–2016) played a pivotal role in this discovery. By showing that some astronomical objects seem to defy gravity’s grip, Rubin helped convince the scientific community of the possibility of dark matter. In Bright Galaxies, Dark Matter, and Beyond, Ashley Jean Yeager tells the story of Rubin’s life and work, recounting her persistence despite early dismissals of her work and widespread sexism in science. Yeager describes Rubin’s childhood fascination with stars, her education at Vassar and Cornell, and her marriage to a fellow scientist. At first, Rubin wasn’t taken seriously; she was a rarity, a woman in science, and her findings seemed almost incredible. Some observatories in midcentury America restricted women from using their large telescopes; Rubin was unable to collect her own data until a decade after she had earned her PhD. Still, she continued her groundbreaking work, driving a scientific revolution. She received the National Medal of Science in 1993, but never the Nobel Prize—perhaps overlooked because of her gender. She’s since been memorialized with a ridge on Mars, an asteroid, a galaxy, and most recently, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory—the first national observatory named after a woman.

Galaxy Evolution Across the Hubble Time (IAU S235)
Author: International Astronomical Union. Symposium
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521863445
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
This last decade has witnessed a revolution in our observations of galaxies; in particular deep imaging with HST and spectroscopy with 10m-class ground-based telescopes have uncovered many objects that are difficult to place along the Hubble sequence. High resolution spectroscopy of extremely faint objects has enabled the study of the kinematic evolution and, hence, the mass assembly of galaxies to unprecedented look-back times for direct comparison with cosmological structure formation scenarios. Thus, it is now possible to study all three aspects of galaxy evolution - their morphological-dynamical, chemical and spectral evolution out to redshift larger than six, exploring more than 95% of the age of the universe. These Proceedings of the IAU Symposium 235 report the considerable progress made in recent years on galaxy formation and evolution, and look forward to the expected breakthroughs in the domain of remote galaxies, with ALMA, the ELT and the next generation space telescopes.

Assessment of Options for Extending the Life of the Hubble Space Telescope
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309165458
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has operated continuously since 1990. During that time, four space shuttle-based service missions were launched, three of which added major observational capabilities. A fifth â€" SM-4 â€" was intended to replace key telescope systems and install two new instruments. The loss of the space shuttle Columbia, however, resulted in a decision by NASA not to pursue the SM-4 mission leading to a likely end of Hubble's useful life in 2007-2008. This situation resulted in an unprecedented outcry from scientists and the public. As a result, NASA began to explore and develop a robotic servicing mission; and Congress directed NASA to request a study from the National Research Council (NRC) of the robotic and shuttle servicing options for extending the life of Hubble. This report presents an assessment of those two options. It provides an examination of the contributions made by Hubble and those likely as the result of a servicing mission, and a comparative analysis of the potential risk of the two options for servicing Hubble. The study concludes that the Shuttle option would be the most effective one for prolonging Hubble's productive life.
