Hubble Trouble with Hakeem Oluseyi

By the chemistry of the atmosphere. By the chemistry of the atmosphere. But remember, the star has its own spectrum as well. So you get a spectrum of the star by itself. You get a spectrum when the light is passing through the planet's atmosphere and you subtract them. And what's left over is a spectrum of the planet.

And so James Webb Space Telescope was built to do that job, and it actually has succeeded in doing that job. Those are some of the early release, like, look, hey, we can do it.

Well, first off... Trivia. My very first physics research... That's what I was wondering. You were in that. ...was summer of 91 on the cold dark matter... CDMS, right? In the basement in Berkeley. Okay. Building the dark matter direct detection, right? Which we've not detected any dark matter yet. So your PhD is from... No, no, no. It's a funny thing. I got accepted.

That's where the idiots go. Rejects. But no, here's what happened. I worked at Berkeley a summer between undergrad and grad on that project. At the end of the summer, they said, dude, if you want to come to Berkeley, come. But I didn't know Stanford was this highfalutin school. I didn't know that. Wait, you didn't know that? Dude, I was from the country, man. You didn't have the internet.

Here's how I can think about this dark matter and dark energy stuff, right? Nothing at the scale of galaxies and larger, basically over 20,000 light years, bigger than the galactic arm, nothing moves consistent with the laws of physics. And so there's two ways, right?
