“Riveting.”—Science
Forbes, Physics Today, Science News, and Science Friday Best Science Book Of 2018

Cosmologist and inventor of the BICEP (Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) experiment, Brian Keating tells the inside story of the mesmerizing quest to unlock cosmology’s biggest mysteries and the human drama that ensued. We follow along on a personal journey of revelation and discovery in the publish-or-perish world of modern science, and learn that the Nobel Prize might hamper—rather than advance—scientific progress. Fortunately, Keating offers practical solutions for reform, providing a vision of a scientific future in which cosmologists may finally be able to see all the way back to the very beginning.

Цитаты

  • Tarlan Asadliцитирует4 года назад
    Galileo, the polymath paragon of the Renaissance man, was not only a scientist. He was also an artist. All great artists have muses, and Galileo had seven: the Pleiades.

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, Galileo’s next target would fill a metaphorical dictionary. The most convincing evidence in favor of Copernicus came when Galileo turned his telescope to Jupiter. In doing so, he made the first stop-motion animation in cosmic history (fig. 2).

    Galileo not only reproduced it but built several more with vastly improved performance. Soon, his perspiculum (“perspective tube” or “spyglass”) would become the shortest lever ever to move the Earth
