This book is based on an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and Justin Khoury, Professor of Physics at the University of Pennsylvania. This thoughtful, extensive conversation gives a window into the world of what a practicing, theoretical physicist cosmologist is doing all day long and examines a wide range of fascinating topics that his research covers such as the early universe, the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, Cosmic Microwave Background, the MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) theory, and more. This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, Into The Light, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter: Becoming A Physicist - The power of passion The Victim of Its Success? - Swinging scientific pendulums Periodically Fiery - Calculating colliding branes The CMB - Almost completely homogeneous The Process of Discovery - Typically messier than you think Learning from History - Missing mass or missing theory? MOND vs. Dark Matter, Part I - Looking at galaxies MOND vs. Dark Matter, Part II - Dark matter roars back Why Not Both? - The liquid helium analogy Dark Energy - Vacuum energy and the cosmological constant problem Personal vs. Professional - The scientist as childlike iconoclast Revolutionary Rumblings - Cosmology’s Golden Age About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series (100 books): Presented in an accessible, conversational format, Ideas Roadshow books not only explore frontline academic research featuring world-leading researchers, including 3 Nobel Laureates, but also reveal the inspirations and personal journeys behind the research. Howard Burton holds a PhD in physics and an MA in philosophy, and was the Founding Director of Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
