"As the planet rotates, the honey around it would swirl, and it's the same with space and time. GP-B confirmed two of the most profound predictions of Einstein's universe, having far-reaching implications across astrophysics research." Gravitational redshift Theelectromagnetic radiationof an obje...
To a somewhat later period belong his researches in photometry and astrophysics. The microphotometer he designed with Prof. H. Buisson, and his studies on photographic density also represent pioneer work in a field which has since seen a wide development along the lines he predicted. During ...
Among many examples, from a Page 1 article in The New York Times: "Reaching back across 13.8 billion years to the first sliver of cosmic time with telescopes at the South Pole, a team of astronomers led by John Kovac of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics detected ripples in ...
I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me...
" Samuel Ting, AMS lead scientist and a Nobel laureate with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told Space.com. "But at this moment, we still need more data to make sure it is from dark matter and not from some strange astrophysics sources. That will require us to run a few more...
