365 Days of Astronomy - Brains Matter interview with Dr Brian Schmidt (summary)

I talk to Dr Schmidt about this expansion. Topics we talk about include:

- How was this discovered?
- What could be causing the acceleration?
- How the cosmological constant relates to this
- What effects do we observe from dark energy and dark matter?
- How does this relate to zero-point energy?
- With the speeding up expansion of the universe, what will this mean to us as humans?
- What would science look like if we began our civilisation about 100 billion years into the future? Would cosmology be as we know it today?
- What is the future of cosmology research?
- Baryone acoustic oscillations
- Is there a relationship between dark energy and dark matter?

As I mentioned yesterday, google has purchased feedburner, and as a result, the RSS feed for Brains Matter will be changing. The new feed, thanks to the imaginative folks at google, is

http://feeds2.feedburner.com/BrainsMatter

So what does this mean for you? If you’re using iTunes, it should hopefully not make much of a difference. Those who manually use the RSS feed or obtain the show via other podcast sites may need to update their feed to that above.

I believe the old feed will work through February, but if at some point in February you find that the feed no longer works, please go to the “Subscribing” link on the web site, and use one of the buttons (or the feed URL in your podcatcher of choice) to get it going again.

Apologies for the inconvenience. I still have no idea why they wouldn’t use the same feed URL, given the new one is almost the same!

OG

Just letting you know, if you experience difficulties with the feed over the next couple of weeks, that is because feedburner and google are having a bit of fun and games at the expense of many podcasters (this isn’t the only podcast that has been affected). So bear with me while these issues get sorted out.

Details are as follows:

Date: Thursday 25/9/2008
Time: 9:30am - 5:30pm
Location: Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash University, Wellington Road, Clayton Victoria 3800, Australia

Further information: http://www.stemcellawarenessday.com

Stem cells have generated unprecedented excitement in medical research because of their potential to treat a wide range of the most devastating degenerative and induced diseases including those of the cardiac, nervous (including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease), vascular and respiratory systems, autoimmune diseases (such as multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus), immunodeficiency states, and cancer. Stem Cell therapies may also be useful to treat a wide range of sporting or other physical injuries, and may assist in the recovery from surgery. Stem cells have both human and veterinary applications. They are also the inspiration for a whole new generation of research scientists, astonishing technical breakthroughs and thriving commercial opportunities.

However, the enthusiasm for Stem Cell Research has been tempered by unrealistic promises and expectations, and significant confusion and controversy in the community, often due to inadequate public education, ethical concerns associated with the use of embryonic stem cells, and the perceived threat of human cloning. These concerns are contrasted with sensationalist stories of “miracle cures,” often in poorly regulated environments but still driving a thriving medical tourism industry, because of the desperate needs of many patients for a better quality of life.

1) Why science?
2) Why podcast?

To answer the first part - I’ve always loved science. Ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper (figuratively speaking, of course!) I’d always been one of those folks who ask “why?” The great thing was that I was encouraged to ask why, and learn about the world around me.

I’d always been fond of learning and just knowing stuff - astronomy, maths/numbers, physics, chemistry, biology, nature, geology, geography… you name it, I wanted to know about it.

The answer to the second part comes to the fact that I get asked stuff a lot… aside from the fact that I get invited to a lot of trivia nights, I think if I can encourage people to ask about the world, have a critical and scientific understanding of life, the universe, and everything, then that can only lead to good things. I’ve had high school kids email me after listening to the show and mention that they’d always thought science was hard - but when it was explained to them in an easy-to-understand way, then they found that it was interesting and enjoyable.

And I think that’s part of the problem with some people in the science or technology field - they’re brilliantly smart people, but they talk in techie terms and so those topics seem inaccessible to the average person. The end result is that you get folks - take politicians for example - making decisions based on an extermely poor understanding of the real issues at hand. Climate change, energy policy, … the list is endless.

However, if we as a collective group of people can encourage others to be interested, enthusiastic, excited, and inspired by science, knowledge, and just about learning in general, then it will only help the world. Perhaps someone will be inspired to make better decisions. Or to find a new medication. Or to solve world hunger and bring peace (-:

I just hope I’m doing my little bit in that, even if it is only tiny. And I have a lot of fun doing it.

We discusses climate change - what is it, what causes it, what are the effects, and how it relates to Australia and the world. David also mentions some topical thoughts about Ross Garnaut and what his report should state to the federal government, and answers some climate change skeptic questions.

What should our emission targets be? What are the timings of the impact of emissions?

We also talk about some fallacies - did you know that Japan, with an arguably much higher standard of living than many western nations, has half the per capita greenhouse emissions per person compared to Australia or the US?

Listen in on this fascinating episode. The show is just over an hour long, but I thought it was important to publish it in it’s entirety in a single episode.
