Charting the Architecture of the Universe & Human Life | Dr. Brian Keating

William Herschel and his sister, Caroline Herschel, was the first female astronomer, first female scientist. She was the first person to use the scientific method and become a fellow of the Royal Society. in Great Britain.

And then later off after that, we come to the era of the last, you know, kind of the big developments in technology were photographic plates after that, spectrographs, dispersion of light onto photographic material. You could preserve it in memory. You didn't use sketches like Galileo did.

And then up until Hubble, when Hubble discovered two major things, which was one was that the Milky Way was a galaxy. It wasn't the entire universe. There were other galaxies, island universes of billions of stars. And then he discovered the expansion of the universe with help from an astronomer who doesn't get a lot of attention. A lot of the women in astronomy got really short shrift.

People discovered how fusion works in the sun. Women got at Harvard. And then Henrietta Leavitt, who measured this relationship between the size and brightness of objects called Cepheid variables that Hubble then used to make his law that proved that the universe is expanding.

And then after that, people like Pennsies and Wilson discovering the microwave and radio astronomy, Robert Jansky, all the way up until my colleagues today, some of whom I've interviewed, Adam Ries and Brian Schmidt and Barry Barish.

He wrote the foreword to my second book, Detecting Gravitational Waves, the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe Due to Dark Energy, First Nobel Prize in Astronomy in 2011. Followed up 2015 discovery of – 2017 discovered gravitational waves from inspiraling black holes. There are so many and there are so many. I'd be blessed to know many of them and to have them as my academic pedigree.

I think it's obvious why you have this particular affliction, and that's because you're used to doing experiment. You're a scientist. Your core identity, one of your core identities is a scientist, right? And you think of things scientifically. And as I said before, the scientific method, as we practice it, is based on hypothesis, observation, experimentation, iteration, right?

Well, think about this. If I have a hypothesis that certain people can detect sunspots, right? So I want to have a control group and I want to have a variable, right? So I want to be able to contrast and see if it's statistically significant, right? And I want a p-hack, right? So what do I have to do then? Well, I have to control the number of sunspots. Okay, sorry.
