Ever since Albert Einstein published his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, one equation has been the bane of humans hoping to explore the stars: E=mc². In addition to informing our understanding of gravity, space, and time, this formula implies that traveling at or beyond light speed is impossible. And given how expansive the universe is, this speed limit severely restricts our ability to zip around the cosmos. But while most physics textbooks describe this speed limit, their explanations don't always tell the whole story.自从 1905 年阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦发表狭义相对论以来,一个方程一直是人类探索恒星的祸根:E=mc²。除了加深我们对重力、空间和时间的理解之外,这个公式还意味着以光速或超光速旅行是不可能的。考虑到宇宙有多么广阔,这个速度限制严重限制了我们绕宇宙飞行的能力。但是,虽然大多数物理教科书都描述了这个速度限制,但他们的解释并不总是能说明全部情况。In Einstein's equation, E stands for energy, m for mass, and c for a constant— specifically, the speed of light in a vacuum. C squared is a huge number, which means it requires enormous amounts of energy to move even small amounts of mass close to the speed of light. This relationship is why the only particles that can travel at light speed are those with no mass at all, such as photons.在爱因斯坦方程中,E 代表能量,m 代表质量,c 代表常数,特别是真空中的光速。 C平方是一个巨大的数字,这意味着即使是很小的质量也需要大量的能量才能接近光速。这种关系就是为什么唯一能够以光速传播的粒子是那些完全没有质量的粒子,例如光子。That's the short answer for why objects with mass can't reach or exceed light speed. But to make full use of Einstein's equation, physicists often include one more variable. This gamma represents the Lorentz Factor, which models how an object's velocity changes the way that object experiences time, length, and other physical properties. Now, when an object's velocity is a very small percentage of the speed of light, this variable resolves to 1, so it doesn't impact the equation. However, when an object is moving fast enough, this denominator drops to 0. Since dividing by 0 is impossible, this breaks the equation and makes the variables therein mathematically impossible— hence the unbreakable speed limit.这就是为什么有质量的物体无法达到或超过光速的简短答案。但为了充分利用爱因斯坦方程,物理学家通常会多加入一个变量。该伽马代表洛伦兹因子,它模拟物体的速度如何改变物体经历时间、长度和其他物理属性的方式。现在,当物体的速度只占光速的很小一部分时,该变量解析为 1,因此不会影响方程。然而,当物体移动得足够快时,该分母就会降至 0。由于除以 0 是不可能的,这会破坏方程并使得其中的变量在数学上不可能 - 因此是牢不可破的速度限制。But what does it actually mean for this math to break down? To answer that, we need to understand the physical system its modeling: spacetime. After Einstein published his theory of special relativity, his mentor Hermann Minkowski realized that— if his student was right— it would mean space and time were not two separate entities, but one connected system. And everything in the universe travels through space and time simultaneously. However, traveling through one of these vectors limits the speed at which we can travel through the other. To picture this, imagine moving north at a fixed speed. You could turn to travel east at the same speed, but moving northeast would mean you move in both directions more slowly. The tradeoffs are the same when we move through spacetime. Since our typical movement through space is so much slower than the speed of light, we mostly perceive moving through time at a relatively steady speed. But if an object managed to move through space at the speed of light, it would no longer move through time. This is the kind of time dilation charted by the Lorentz Factor, which models how time slows down for objects moving at incredibly high velocities.但这个数学模型崩溃到底意味着什么呢?为了回答这个问题,我们需要了解其建模的物理系统:时空。爱因斯坦发表狭义相对论后,他的导师赫尔曼·明可夫斯基意识到——如果他的学生是对的——那就意味着空间和时间不是两个独立的实体,而是一个相互联系的系统。宇宙中的一切事物都是同时穿越空间和时间的。然而,穿过这些矢量之一会限制我们穿过另一个矢量的速度。为了描绘这一点,想象一下以固定速度向北移动。您可以以相同的速度转向向东行驶,但向东北移动意味着您在两个方向上移动的速度都会更慢。当我们穿越时空时,权衡是相同的。由于我们在空间中的典型运动比光速慢得多,因此我们大多认为以相对稳定的速度在时间中运动。但如果一个物体能够以光速在空间中移动,它就不再能在时间中移动。这是洛伦兹因子绘制的时间膨胀类型,它模拟了以极高速度移动的物体的时间如何减慢。This nuance is just one of several hiding in E=mc². For example, the c in Einstein's equation refers specifically to the speed of light in a “vacuum,” which outer space approximates. But light's speed is actually defined by what it's traveling through. For example, when light travels through water, its speed is reduced by about 25%. And scientists can propel low mass particles like charged electrons through water at speeds faster than these photons. This means that underwater, some particles can travel faster than light; and doing so emits a ghostly blue glow known as Cherenkov radiation.这种细微差别只是 E=mc² 中隐藏的几个细微差别之一。例如,爱因斯坦方程中的 c 特指“真空”中的光速,即外层空间的近似值。但光速实际上是由它所穿过的物体决定的。例如,当光在水中传播时,其速度会降低约25%。科学家可以以比光子更快的速度推动带电电子等低质量粒子穿过水。这意味着在水下,一些粒子的运动速度可以超过光速;这样做会发出一种幽灵般的蓝色光芒,称为切伦科夫辐射。Despite these loopholes, the major takeaway of E=mc² remains true. As far as we know, we still can't travel faster than light in a vacuum. But this hasn't stopped scientists from theorizing what might happen if we did. If you were on a spacecraft approaching light speed, your vision would likely become kaleidoscopic. The direction your ship moved would appear blue-shifted, while the things next to and behind you would be red-shifted. And if you were somehow able to reach or exceed light speed, it might even manifest as some kind of time travel— potentially letting you chat with Einstein himself to rewrite our fundamental understanding of physics.尽管存在这些漏洞,E=mc² 的主要结论仍然正确。据我们所知,我们在真空中的行进速度仍然无法超过光速。但这并没有阻止科学家们对如果我们这样做会发生什么进行理论分析。如果你乘坐接近光速的宇宙飞船,你的视野可能会变得千变万化。你的船移动的方向会出现蓝移,而你旁边和后面的东西会红移。如果你能够以某种方式达到或超过光速,它甚至可能表现为某种时间旅行——有可能让你与爱因斯坦本人聊天,重写我们对物理学的基本理解。

Relative Time Management In my entire life, I've always found it interesting that there never seems to be enough time in the day. Still, most days, everything seems to get done. If it doesn't, the world didn't come to an end, and I survived to check off another item from my to-do list tomorrow. I know I'm not the first human on the planet to face the problem of time, but I do think I'm one of those smartypants people that have figured out how our time works in real life. And it was 180 degrees from what I felt that time was all about. Pay attention now. How you look at time is about to change. First, when you run as fast as possible to get things done, time moves quicker, and less gets done. Even worse, with every minute filled, there is never enough time to do the things that make your heart sing. If you're like me, that will eventually lead you to sabotage your list so you can do something fun for yourself. It's a never-ending cycle. On the other hand, when you slow down, hold space for yourself, and focus on results relevant to your goals, time slows down, and you get more done. Not only that, you magically find yourself with lots of free time that you need to fill. Finally, a chance to read a book, binge on Netflix, or hang out with family and friends. The choice is yours. Of course, if you've ever studied Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, this sounds familiar. As he determined—time is relative. In other words, the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference.  So, what is your frame of reference? In our case, I'm not asking whether you are moving fast or slow; I want to know if you are focused on the essential things in life that matter to you? Everything else disappears when you do, times slow down, and you enjoy your day like you were born to do. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The LIUniverse with Dr. Charles Liu

Welcome to Season 4 of The LIUniverse and thank you for joining us on this journey.   We're kicking off the new season with another Chuck GPT episode devoted to answering your questions, and to do that, we've brought back archaeology expert Hannah Liu, MEd. She's not alone: joining Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu is The LIUniverse's Social Media Guru, Stacey Severn.   As always, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, Earth's temporary second moon 2024 PT5. Don't get excited, though, because it's only the size of a school bus and won't be visible to the naked eye. But it gives Chuck the chance to ask Hannah about the impact of celestial visitors in the past, and she tells us the story of Caesar's comet (C/-43 K1) which showed up for about a week in the summer of 44 BCE – not long after the assassination of Julius Caesar. Allen also brings up the Great comet of 1680 and how it affected the development of astronomy.   Our first question comes from NSimplexPachinko, who asks, “During condensation of matter to 300,000 years after the Big Bang, did spacetime cease to expand, or did it continue expanding at the same rate as the energy within it?”   Short answer: Yes. For the long answer, you'll have to watch or listen to the show for Chuck's description (honed for the Intro to Astronomy class he teaches) of decoupling, expansion, universal evolution and “BIG, BIG, INFLATION!”   Stacey reads the next question from a listener in Poland. Pshemo Ziembora wonders, “The volume/length of space should be different for every observer depending on how fast they're travelling or how strong the gravity field is. In other words, the speed of light will always be constant for each observer, but it may have a different value than 300,000 km/second. Distances on cosmic scales may vary due to your speed. When you are traveling faster in space your distance should be shorter. What am I missing?”   Chuck explains that Pshemo isn't missing anything and has got it exactly right, describing the insight we now call the “Lorentz Contraction” which Albert Einstein built into his Special Theory of Relativity. Allen explains the physics involved, with an example that includes muons and cosmic rays and how different mediums can impact the speed of light.   Speaking of Poland, Hannah shares a story about licking the wall of the Wieliczka salt mine, which she visited on a trip there. For those of you watching, you can see a photo of one of the caverns hollowed out by the miners, with statues and scenic reliefs carved from the salt. There are no photos of the reported salt tasting.   Our next question comes from one of Chuck's Astronomy 100 students: “Is Earth Intelligent?”   Chuck describes the Gaia Hypothesis, before the group grapples with the question. Hannah looks at the skepticism around the validity of that very hypothesis, and then takes a typical LIUniverse deep dive into Percy Jackson, and Greek and Egyptian mythology. Allen assesses Earth's intelligence through the lens of Artificial Intelligence. Stacey brings up the concept that climate change is the Earth taking revenge on humanity for our actions, which Hannah relates back to Greek mythology, natural disasters, and the role of Demeter in bringing about winter.   Finally, “@I have an unoriginal name” asks, “How does the cyclic model of the universe deal with information not being destroyed.” And Andy Love wonders “about the quantum gravity issue. My thought is that gravity is emergent, from loop or string vibrations, where the outward pulse of the loop or string creates the atoms (Higgs field) and the inward pulse is gravitational force meaning there is no need for a new quantum gravity theory, gravity is already quantum.”   Both of those questions spawned some interesting and far-ranging conversations amongst the group (Can you say slinky cosmology and quantum gravity?) that would be impossible to summarize for you here, so just please watch or listen to the episode now!   We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.   Credits for Images Used in this Episode: – 2024 PT5's orbit –NASA/JPL-Caltech – Public Domain – Caesar's comet coin –From ~18 CE in modern Spain, – Public Domain – Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS – AlexL1024, Public Domain – Great comet of 1680 –Lieve Verschuier, Public Domain – Diagram of the universe's expansion –NASA/WMAP Science Team, Public Domain – Refraction in a block of plastic –Ajizai, Public Domain – A muon's view of Earth –The LIUniverse, derived from “Blue Marble” – Wieliczka salt mine –Rj1979, Public Domain – Gaia depicted on pottery –About 410 BCE, Public Domain – Statue of Demeter –Photo by Marie-Lan Nguyen, CC BY – Lord Kelvin's Analog tide computer –Photo by Daderot, Public Domain – Svalbard Global Seed Vault –Frode Ramone, CC BY – ~1800 year old clothes preserved by a bog – Bullenwächter, CC BY – LIGO gravitational wave signals –Caltech/MIT/LIGO Lab, CC BY   #TheLIUniverse #CharlesLiu #AllenLiu #HannahLiu #StaceySevern #SciencePodcast #AstronomyPodcast #2024PT5 #CaesarsComet #SlinkyCosmology #QuantumGravity #comets #GreatCometof1680 #UniversalExpansion #muon #GaiaHypothesis #PercyJackson #GreekMythology #Egyptianmythology #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #cyclicmodeloftheuniverse #LorentzContraction #AlbertEinstein #SpecialTheoryofRelativity #archaeology

We look at the scientific feasibility of placing living beings in states of suspended animation for long periods of time to slow down or prevent aging, a concept that you probably already know well from when it has appeared elsewhere in popular culture, including 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, and Futurama. What parallels are there to hibernation as we know it in nature? How does Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity factor into this? And what unique combination of sci-fi high concept and cult appeal has made Red Dwarf such an enduring success?

Here are a few recommendations!Red Dwarf“Well, that's the show, but the red dwarf itself is the smallest type of star, and the most common type of star in our galaxy. There are tens of billions of them.”See also: The Transit Method.Mass-Energy Equivalence“When Albert Einstein figured out E=MC2, he said there isn't really this thing called mass, there's just all energy. So the existence of mass means the existence of energy. But here's where I'm going to go out on a limb…to me, saying energy exists is the same as saying time exists.”Einstein's Theory of Relativity“Right now, you and I are at rest relative to each other. We're both sitting here on our computers. Which means that together, we're moving through space at zero, and we're moving through time at the speed of light. But if you were to take off in the Red Dwarf going 90% of the speed of light relative to me, everything on board is still in the same time zone as you are. But now you've put so much motion through space that your motion through time, relative to me, has been reduced, but not to the things traveling with you in the spaceship.”The Hibernation Gene“According to genetic evolution studies, the ancestor of all mammals hibernated and there is a hibernation gene in all mammals. Humans, apparently, 400,000 years ago appear to have had the ability to hibernate.”Nematode Worms“These nematodes [are multicellular organisms that were recovered from permafrost] and they're tens of thousands of years old.”No Exit by Jean-Paul SartreThe source of the famed “hell is other people” which Tamara references in discussion about the themes of Red Dwarf.SUGGESTED VIEWINGVirtually everything discussed in this episode can be gleaned from watching the first episode of the series, 1988's ironically titled “The End.” That being said, these are short episodes and short seasons of TV, so you may as well watch the entire first season (or “series” as they're called in the UK) to get a better sense of the overall flavor of the show.

Time seems to follow a universal, ticktock rhythm. But it doesn't. In the Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein determined that time is relative—in other words, the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference. Just as witnesses in a police investigation don't always agree on how to describe the motion of a crime committedthey also don't always agree on when an event happened or how long it took.

Happy New Year! Today, Pastor Michael is starting off our New Year with a throwback to a responsorial reading of the Bible.  Michael is reading the 23rd Psalm, likely the most famous verse in the Bible and our church audience reads back to him.  Psalms 23 (CSB) 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I have what I need. 2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name's sake. 4 Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff — they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD as long as I live. Michael is concentrating on verse 5. What about those days when our cup (money, time or energy) isn't overflowing?  The only way to sustainably  give to others is to have a cup that is overflowing.  We need to rethink and realign how we think of ‘giving of ourselves'.  When we share something of ourselves, there is an ‘outflow'.  That's a good thing, a wonderful thing. So, we're going to talk about overflowing in a study over the next few weeks.  The categories we'll cover are: time, resources and energy.  Today, we're covering ‘time'. Time.  Time seems to be (and actually is, in fact) different in speed; sometimes fast…sometimes slow.  Like when you're having fun and doing things you love: time flies.  But try something you don't like and time stands still, it seems.  Einstein's ‘Special Theory of Relativity' states that the rate that time passes depends on your frame of reference.  The point is, time isn't the same! So with that preamble out of the way, we find Michael in Luke talking about Jesus telling the story of a man going from Jerusalem to Jericho.  Robbers attacked the poor guy and left him half dead on the side of the road.  A priest was walking down the same road and went to the other side, so he didn't have to help the poor guy.  A Levite, walking down the same road, did the exact same thing.  Talk about not helpful, jeesh!   But a Samaritan saw the poor guy and helped him, bandaging his wounds, taking him to an inn and even paying the innkeeper money to help the poor guy.  The definition of a good neighbor!  And a Good Samaritan, too! God gives us opportunities to help others like this; as the Samaritan did.  Do we always take the time to help?   Do we have an overflowing cup, as this message started out with?  We need that to align prioritizing our time. Would we have time to give to the thing God wants us to do or is our schedule full?    When you make God a priority and give Him your time, studying the Bible, spending time in prayer and making time for your spiritual connection with Him, you'll find that cup will get filled back up! (CSB Study Bible Notes) The road from Jerusalem to Jericho, a distance of seventeen miles with a descent of more than three thousand feet in elevation, was a dangerous route through desert country. It had many places where robbers could lie in wait. It is possible that the priest and the Levite . . . passed by on the other side of the road because they thought the wounded man was dead and they would become ritually unclean by touching him, but it is more likely that they were afraid of being attacked by the same robbers or simply did not want to be bothered with the inconvenience of helping the man. Verses can be found today in Psalms 23 and Luke 10: 30-37. Scripture quotations marked CSB have been taken from the Christian Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.

In our case, I'm not asking whether you are moving fast or slow; I want to know if you are focused on the essential things in life that matter to you? Everything else disappears when you do, times slow down, and you enjoy your day like you were born to do.

Mark Fiorentino has been fascinated by Albert Einstein since he was 4 (perhaps in part because they share a birthday). That fascination continues today. Mark worked hard, did the math & proved Einstein's Unified Field Theory. He has since moved on to the Special Theory of Super Relativity & is looking beyond even that. Mark is one of my favorite researchers, & I am greatly looking forward to his next book. I know a bit about what he is including in this next volume & can't wait until we can "officially" discuss that too! Maybe he'll give us a little taste! Come find out!

Is timing everything? What about location? Are time and space the same thing? Kelli and Ali don’t know. Physics is hard. In this episode, Kelli and Ali avoid Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity and delve into research about internal clocks instead. Are you an early bird or a night owl? What in the world does that have to do with the time of day you should have surgery? They also holler about receiving unsolicited nudes. Are you sending unsolicited photos of your privates? Not cool, yo. Also, those privates are no longer private.

"We often read that the fastest thing in the Universe is the speed of light. Why do we have this limitation and can anything possibly be faster?" Ali Alshareef from Qatif in Saudia Arabia emailed curiouscases@bbc.co.uk with this puzzling problem. The team grapples with Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, with help from cosmologist Andrew Pontzen and a British train, travelling somewhat slower than the speed of light. Plus physicist and presenter Jim Al-Khalili describes how he nearly lost his boxer shorts in a daring bet concerning the speed of subatomic particles.

Driven by higher resolution and an increasing amount of content due to direct B2C delivery, media companies are looking to cost-effectively leverage cloud compute scalability. Emerging use cases, such as media supply chains, VFX/animation rendering, and transcoding for OTT streaming, require careful planning as they move to the cloud. Storage is critical to the performance and processing of media. In this session, we discuss various AWS cloud storage strategies for different media workloads. We take a deep dive into media supply chains (including content transcoding, QC, mastering, and packaging), post-production tasks in the cloud, and other media and entertainment workloads. You also learn how Theory Studios uses storage on AWS cloud to support rendering visual effects and animation on Amazon EC2 Spot Instances.

The Gospel and Epistle readings for today present a bit of a dilemma, because both are begging to be known and proclaimed! The Gospel contains a line known to many, but a puzzle to most. Some of the more fundamentalist Christians are not comfortable that the explanation of that line can be found in Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity! But then there is the Epistle reading which emphasizes how all of those sacrifices atoned for sins under the Old Testament's regime of rules and punishment, we now have an inheritance and the Kingdom of God!

HIS PREMISE IS THAT THESE ARE SIMPLE FUNCTIONS YET MANY ARE MISSING AT LEAST ONE OF THEM; THE TAKEAWAY HERE IS TO MAKE SURE YOUR SYSTEMS HAS THEM AND IF THEY DON'T, NO NEED TO THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATHWATER BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE THE MISSING ACTIVITY (USUALLY EVALUATION) A PRIORITY EQUAL TO THE OTHERS.GILKEY ALSO MAKES REFERENCES TO PRINCIPLES OF TIME MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, WHICH BASICALLY ARE CROSS-SECTIONS THAT YOU CAN RANK OF EACH OF THE THREE FUNCTIONS (PLANNING, EXECUTION AND EVALUATION). THE PRINCIPLES ARE SIMPLICITY, USEFULNESS, AESTHETICALLY-PLEASING, CONNECTEDNESS AND COHESIVENESS. I'LL SUMMARIZE THOSE IN THE NEXT EPISODE.I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE OF PRODPOD.

YOU CAN FIND ME TWEETING ON TWITTER AT G T D D C AND AT G T D N Y C USING THE HASHTAG PRODPOD.THIS EPISODE'S TIP: THE SPECIAL THEORY OF PRODUCTIVITY, PART TWO. IN THE LAST EPISODE, I PRESENTED THE PRINCIPLES OF TIME MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, WHICH ARE GAUGES TO RANK INDEPENDENTLY EACH OF THE THREE FUNCTIONS (PLANNING, EXECUTION AND EVALUATION). THE PRINCIPLES ARE SIMPLICITY, USEFULNESS, AESTHETICALLY-PLEASING, CONNECTEDNESS AND COHESIVENESS. SIMPLICITY  REFERS TO ITS INTUITIVENESS WHEN USING YOUR SYSTEM. USEFULNESS, CHARLIE GILKEY MAINTAINS, SHOULD MAKE SURE INFORMATION IS BOTH ACTIONABLE AND USABLE; NO REASON TO GET INFORMATION YOU WON'T EVER USE OR CARE ABOUT, RIGHT? AESTHETICALLY-PLEASING IS THE PRINCIPLE OF THE OBVIOUS, SINCE PEOPLE LIKE TO USE THINGS THAT THEY'RE ATTRACTED TO NOT TURNED OFF BY. CONNECTEDNESS, I BELIEVE, IS GILKEY'S PITHY WAY OF SAYING THAT HE WANTS A PRODUCTIVITY SYSTEM TO BE A RELATIONAL DATABASE (IN TECH TERMS). IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A RELATIONAL DATABASE IS, IT'S WORTH CHECKING IT OUT ON WIKIPEDIA. THE FINAL PRINCIPLE OF COHESIVENESS IS REALLY JUST AN ABILITY OF ANY GOOD RELATIONAL DATABASE, AND CHARLIE GIVES THE EXAMPLE OF MARKING A NEXT-ACTION COMPLETED AND IT UPDATES THROUGHOUT YOUR SYSTEM.WHILE DAVID ALLEN'S GTD ENLIGHTENS US TO THE SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE QUESTIONS ON THE RUNWAY OF LIFE: "WHAT IS IT? AND, IS IT ACTIONABLE?," THE HIGHER-LEVEL NUGGET THAT COMES OUT OF THE SPECIAL THEORY OF PRODUCTIVITY IS THE GENIUS IN ITS SIMPLICITY QUESTION: DOES YOUR PRODUCTIVITY SYSTEM ENABLE YOU TO PLAN, EXECUTE AND EVALUATE? I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE OF PRODPOD.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the speed of light. Scientists and thinkers have been fascinated with the speed of light for millennia. Aristotle wrongly contended that the speed of light was infinite, but it was the 17th Century before serious attempts were made to measure its actual velocity – we now know that it's 186,000 miles per second. Then in 1905 Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity predicted that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. This then has dramatic effects on the nature of space and time. It's been thought the speed of light is a constant in Nature, a kind of cosmic speed limit, now the scientists aren't so sure. With John Barrow, Professor of Mathematical Sciences and Gresham Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge University; Iwan Morus, Senior Lecturer in the History of Science at The University of Wales, Aberystwyth; Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Visiting Professor of Astrophysics at Oxford University.
