Margaret Burbidge 100th Birthday, A UC San Diego Science Legacy
The first female to serve as the director of the Royal Greenwich Observatory. The first female member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. The first female president of the American Astronomical Society (AAS). The first woman to receive the Bruce Medal. The first director of the Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences (CASS) at UC San Diego, where she helped develop some of the Hubble Space Telescope’s original instruments.
Burbidge’s remarkable trek of firsts began in an era when women were all but eclipsed in science. It continues as this professor emeritus of physics at UC San Diego has reached the age of 100.
“Margaret Burbidge is a giant in the field of astronomy and physics,” said George Fuller, distinguished professor of physics and director of CASS at UC San Diego. “She is one of the giants of the transformation of astronomy in the 20th century into a major branch of physics.”
According to Fuller, in the middle of the last century, Burbidge was a pioneer in stellar spectroscopy—the study of the spectra of starlight. Her research offered science its first understanding of the elemental makeup of stars. In the 21st century, the influence of this bright light in science remains vast.
Meg Urry, director of the Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Yale University shared her observations about Burbidge.
“Margaret was like a star in the firmament, shining the light on all of us, making one impactful discovery after another. She seemed always open to discovering new things and thinking about them in new ways.”
At UC San Diego, the impact of Burbidge’s influence is apparent in the Margaret Burbidge Visiting Professorship, a new program in the Division of Physical Sciences. Funded by the Heising-Simons Foundation, the professorship brings eminent female physicists to the university for collaborative research and mentorship within the Department of Physics. Three visiting professors from Columbia University, ESPCI Paris and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will fill the inaugural role during the current academic year.

According to the Heising-Simons Foundation, the goal of its support for women in physics and astronomy is to increase the number of women in these fields, both in colleges and in academic and research careers in the United States.
Burbidge was a professor of astronomy at UC San Diego from 1962 until 1988.
The Division of Physical Sciences at UC San Diego ranks No. 25 among the world’s Top 50 universities for physical science degrees, according to CEOWorld Magazine. Its Department of Physics ranks among the Top 20 in the nation for its graduate prog

In 1969, Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon.
Or was it?
According to conspiracy theorists, it's obvious that the moon landing was faked. Now, I don't usually pay much attention to such claims, but a few days ago Joe Rogan published a new episode of his podcast, in which he hosted none other than Bart Sibrel himself, giving him a platform to spread his anti-science nonsense to millions of people around the world.
So, as a scientist, more specifically an astrophysicist, I feel that it is my duty to debunk his claims one by one and to explain the science behind the Apollo 11 mission.
Tune in!

### Independent Verification
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has taken high-definition photos of the Apollo landing sites, capturing the Lunar Module descent stages and the tracks left by the astronauts. This provides independent verification of the landings, as the LRO is a separate spacecraft not involved in the original Apollo missions.

WE CA
we-can't-find-magnetic-monopoles
#magneticmonopoles #theoryofeverything #particlephysics Why can’t we find any magnetic monopoles? A monopole is a hypothetical elementary particle that is an isolated magnet with only one magnetic pole (a north pole without a south pole or vice versa).
What happens when you break a magnet in two? Do you get two isolated poles? In 1931, the physicist Paul Dirac showed that if any magnetic monopoles exist in the universe, then all electric charges in the universe would be quantized.
Since we observe that electric charge is quantized, we believe their existence is consistent with the laws of physics. For over 100 years physicists have hoped to find magnetic monopoles. Physicists are almost certain they exist. If they do they’ll solve some of the most vexing problems in all of physics.
But no matter how hard experimentalists look, we can’t find magnet monopoles. Today we’ll explain what we know and don’t know about these most mysterious magnets.
There’s nothing in physics, classical or quantum, that says you can’t. And If you could, you’d receive the eternal love of every physicist on earth. So why can’t we find them?
A team at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider has established a lower mass limit for the still elusive hypothesized particle. They did so by creating the biggest magnetic field EVER observed in the universe!
The experimental particle physics collaboration known as MoEDAL—the Monopole and Exotics Detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the same place where the Higgs boson was discovered -- used heavy-ion collisions, just like our last encounter with RHIC. A lead-lead collision experiment at the LHC succeeded in producing a magnetic field with a strength of 10^16 T, the strongest ever observed in the universe.
MoEDAL has now published its results, and although no magnetic monopoles were observed, the team did exclude the possibility of monopoles with masses smaller than 75 GeV/c^2, which is roughly 80 times as large as the mass of the proton. Could a monopole relate to dark energy and dark matter?
Although no magnetic monopoles were discovered, the negative result narrows the range in which future experiments will look for magnetic monopoles. That search continues: MoEDAL will deploy a new detector at the LHC to look for magnetic monopoles with higher mass and magnetic charge.

Join my mailing list https://briankeating.com/list to win a real 4 billion year old meteorite! All .edu emails in the USA ?? will WIN!
A couple of years ago, I co-hosted a thrilling conversation @TheInstituteOfArtAndIdeas between Sabine Hossenfelder, Carlo Rovelli, and Eric Weinstein as they debated quantum physics, consciousness, and the mystery of reality. In this clip, we talked about whether there was a need for a new Theory of Everything. Enjoy!
We imagine physics is objective. But quantum physics found the act of human observation changes the outcome of experiment. Many scientists assume this central role of the observer is limited to just quantum physics. But is this an error? As Heisenberg puts it, "what we observe is not nature in itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning." In all our studies of reality and nature then, the observer plays a role -- not just in quantum physics.
Should we recognise science can never access reality independent of the observer? Should we re-define science not as uncovering objective reality, but as uncovering the functions, limitations and structures of the mind of the observer themselves? And if we cannot remove the observer, might quantum physics help us to understand the observer - as Roger Penrose suggests consciousness "reeks of something quantum mechanical."
The Institute of Art and Ideas features videos and articles from cutting edge thinkers discussing the ideas that are shaping the world, from metaphysics to string theory, technology to democracy, aesthetics to genetics. Subscribe today!
