Apes to Angels: Man Reaches his Omega Point (2011) Cover Illustration This picture, the oil-soaked bird from Gulf of Mexico, represents the agony and pain that the Creation is undergoing as a result of human conflict with Nature. It is a loud cry of Creation for help. Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill is the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. The spill stemmed from a sea-floor oil gusher that resulted on 20 April 2010 from an explosion of Deepwater Horizon, which drilled on the BP-operated Macondo Prospect. The explosion killed 11 men working on the platform and injured 17 others. New estimates show the undersea well has spilled between 17 and 39 million gallons of oil. These estimates dwarf those of BP, who claimed the spill had only released 11 million gallons to date, and mean that the Gulf leak is far bigger than Exxon Valdez, making it the worst spill in American history. The National Wildlife Federation reports that already more than 150 threatened or endangered sea turtles are dead. Hundreds and thousands of sea birds, mostly brown pelicans and northern gannets, have been found dead along the Gulf Coast as a result of the spreading oil. A large number of fishermen are becoming seriously ill and many of them believe that the chemicals that BP is using in the Gulf are to blame. Local shrimpers in Louisiana are already predicting that it will be seven years before they can set to sea again.

Early observations The science of physical cosmology as it is practiced today had its subject material defined in the years following the Shapley-Curtis debate when it was determined that the universe had a larger scale than the Milky Way galaxy. This was precipitated by observations that established the size and the dynamics of the cosmos that could be explained by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: The Astronomy Genealogy Project (―AstroGen‖), a project of the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), will soon appear on the AAS website. Ultimately, it will list the world‘s astronomers with their highest degrees, theses for those who wrote them, academic advisors (supervisors), universities, and links to the astronomers or their obituaries, their theses when on-line, and more. At present the AstroGen team is working on those who earned doctorates with astronomy-related theses. We show what can be learned already, with just ten countries essentially completed. Keywords: Academic genealogy, astronomers, Ph.D. theses, dissertations 1 INTRODUCTION ries we have studied (listed in Section 3) went to Arthur Williams Wright (Figure 1), who became AstroGen is coming.

  • Harwit M. in Search of the True Universe.. the Tools, Shaping, And
    In Search of the True Universe Astrophysicist and scholar Martin Harwit examines how our understanding of the Cosmos advanced rapidly during the twentieth century and identifies the factors contributing to this progress. Astronomy, whose tools were largely imported from physics and engineering, benefited mid-century from the U.S. policy of coupling basic research with practical national priorities. This strategy, initially developed for military and industrial purposes, provided astronomy with powerful tools yielding access – at virtually no cost – to radio, infrared, X-ray, and gamma-ray observations. Today, astronomers are investigating the new frontiers of dark matter and dark energy, critical to understanding the Cosmos but of indeterminate socio-economic promise. Harwit addresses these current challenges in view of competing national priorities and proposes alternative new approaches in search of the true Universe. This is an engaging read for astrophysicists, policy makers, historians, and sociologists of science looking to learn and apply lessons from the past in gaining deeper cosmological insight. MARTIN HARWIT is an astrophysicist at the Center for Radiophysics and Space Research and Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at Cornell University. For many years he also served as Director of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. For much of his astrophysical career he built instruments and made pioneering observations in infrared astronomy. His advanced textbook, Astrophysical Concepts, has taught several generations of astronomers through its four editions. Harwit has had an abiding interest in how science advances or is constrained by factors beyond the control of scientists. His book Cosmic Discovery first raised these questions.

Further, it is based on interpretation of astronomical data that is questionable. CMB is not direct proof of the existence of the recombination period in some remote physical past. Cosmological redshift can be seen as the “tired light effect” proposed by Zwicky. On the basis of direct reading of astronomical data, here we introduce a model of the universe which predicts that in AGNs matter is transforming back into the elementary particles in the form of huge jets that are throwing elementary particles into the intergalactic space and so creating “fresh material” for new stars formation. This process occurring in AGNs, invoked by our model, has no beginning, it is in permanent dynamic equilibrium. Keywords: Multiverse, superfluid quantum space, CMB, cosmological redshift, AGN. 1 1. Introduction In respect to the results of our research and Rovelli's research on time, we replaced the space-time model with the superfluid quantum space model.

  • Interpretations of Cosmic Expansion: Anchoring Conceptions and Misconceptions
    Interpretations of cosmic expansion: anchoring conceptions and misconceptions M P¨ossel1 1Haus der Astronomie and Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, K¨onigstuhl17, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Teaching cosmology at the undergraduate or high school level requires simplifications and analogies, and inevitably brings the teacher into contact with at least one of the pedagogical interpretations of the expanding universe. The by far most popular interpretation holds that galaxies in an expanding universe are stationary, while space itself expands and thus causes the growing distances that characterize cosmic expansion. The alternative relativistic explosion interpretation regards cosmic expansion as a pattern of (relativistic) galaxy motion. The aim of this article is to discuss the two competing interpretations from the perspective of potential student preconceptions, taking into account both beneficial anchoring conceptions and potentially harmful preconceptions that can lead to misconceptions. Keywords: cosmology, cosmic expansion, cosmological redshift, anchoring conceptions This is the version of the article before peer review or editing, as submitted by the author to the journal Physics Education. IOP Publishing Ltd is not responsible for any errors or omissions in this version of the manuscript or any version derived from it.

Introduction arXiv:2008.07776v1 [physics.ed-ph] 18 Aug 2020 At the graduate level, teaching about the expanding universe can rely on the appropriate mathematical tools of general relativity. There, the central mathematical object is the metric describing the geometry of Friedmann-Lema^ıtre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetimes, from which all the basic properties of expanding universes can be derived.
