2024 Reines Lecture: From the Possibility to the Certainty of a Supermassive Black Hole
Andrea M. Ghez, professor of Physics & Astronomy at UCLA and the Lauren B. Leichtman & Arthur E. Levine chair in Astrophysics, is one of the world’s leading experts in observational astrophysics and is director of UCLA’s Galactic Center Group. In 2020, she became the fourth woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for her independent discovery of a supermassive compact object, now generally recognized to be a black hole in the Milky Way’s galactic center. Her work on the orbits of stars at the center of the Milky Way has opened a new approach to studying black holes, and her group is currently focused on using this approach to understand the physics of gravity near a black hole and the role that black holes play in the formation and evolution of galaxies.
Advances in high-resolution imaging technology enabled Professor Ghez’s work and her group continues to work on pushing the frontiers of these technologies forward. She serves on several leadership committees for the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, which hosts the largest telescopes in the world, and the future Thirty Meter Telescope. Professor Ghez is also very committed to the communication of science to the general public and inspiring young girls to enter the field of science. She earned her B.S. from MIT in 1987 and her Ph.D. from Caltech in 1992 and has been on the faculty at UCLA since 1994. She has won numerous awards, including the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy from the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, where she is the first woman to win this prize in any field.

    • @SkidFace

      Hi! I am not representing or am affiliated with this research reactor in any way. However, I do stuff at a different research reactor that operates at much higher power than the one shown here. The shown text partially correct, although it could be worded better. They probably were referring to the speed of light *under* water. The speed of light we think of and usually use for calculations is the speed of light in a vacuum, but the speed of light will decrease a certain amount under water, which makes it possible for particles to produce this beautiful blue glow. Hope this helped!

  • @roberthutchison8197

    Now that gravity waves have been discovered and the universe at the beginning has infinite energy, maybe it's time to think about particles that are faster than light, like tachyons, another theoretical particle!

    Once that 1-3 meters of sea level rise begins it will end our global human civilization. The economic disruption alone will be catastrophic. The rest is just more insult to the initial injury. There's not enough money on this entire planet to manage the displacement of all the people that will happen, much less the destruction of the infrastructure that runs our civilization.

    This is difficult to accept, but very necessary to see and accept. We need immediate action to respond to this inevitable catastrophe. There is nothing we can do to prevent it, but we should at least be mobilizing to move coastal communities away from danger! People's lives are in imminent danger, but even getting the right people to acknowledge that, let alone do anything about it, seems impossible. There is so much more that should be happening right now to respond to this, but someone like me can't make the money needed to undertake this appear out of thin air, and the people that do have the kind of money necessary would rather spend it on endless wars and lining their own coffers. Do they not realize that all the money in the world won't matter when we have 3+ meters of sea level rise?
