What is the Simons Observatory? Simons Observatory’s Director & Alexander Fleiss on String Theory and the Edge of the Galaxy The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) observatory being built in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Furthermore, funded by the Simons Foundation and the Heising-Simons Foundation.
In addition, the observatory will consist of three small-aperture telescopes and one large-aperture telescope, observing between 10 percent and 40 percent of the sky at multiple frequencies.
Moreover, about Dr Keating, from his webpage:
“Are you sick of science popularizers who wax poetically about wormholes and breathlessly rhapsodize about the ‘Mind of God’? Me too!
It’s frustrating when scientists play it safe in their books and talks, refusing to respect their audiences… or worse, disrespecting their audience by ‘dumbing down’ their content. After nearly two decades as a professor — and many more before that as a student — I’d had enough. I decided to do something about it.
I remember what it was like. Not to know, I know how to learn, I know how to teach.
Furthermore, unlike your college professors, I don’t grade on a curve because there is no curve! In addition, I’ll be your tour guide as we explore the most mesmerizing concepts in all of science via first-person interviews with the magnificent minds behind them!
Unlike other interview channels, I pride myself on conversations that involve YOU — yes, you will come alongside me.
Together, we will experience moments most of us never thought we’d get to hear, let alone participate in. In addition, these are the conversations you’ll replay in your mind for years to come and hopefully share with your friends as well.
Let’s get started!”
