Vera Rubin cytaty

Vera Cooper Rubin – amerykańska astronomka.

W 1948 roku ukończyła Vassar College i podjęła studia na Cornell University, które ukończyła w 1951 roku. W 1954 uzyskała stopień doktora na Georgetown University, jej promotorem był George Gamow. Była członkiem Papieskiej Akademii Nauk oraz National Academy of Sciences .

W 1970 rozpoczęła badania ruchu wirowego Galaktyki Andromedy i przez obserwacje wypłaszczenia jej krzywej rotacji doszła do wniosku, że rozciąga się ona dalej niż jest widoczna i składa się w dużej części z ciemnej materii. Koncepcja ta była rewolucyjna i początkowo odrzucana przez ówczesnych naukowców.

Zmarła w nocy 25 grudnia 2016 roku.

Vera Rubin: Cytaty po angielsku

“I live and work with three basic assumptions, 1) There is no problem in science that can be solved by a man that cannot be solved by a woman. 2) Worldwide, half of all brains are in women. 3) We all need permission to do science, but, for reasons that are deeply ingrained in history, this permission is more often given to men than to women.”

“How stars move tell us that most matter in the universe is dark. When we see stars in the sky, we're only seeing five or 10 percent of the matter that there is in the universe.”

As quoted in Jewish Women's Archive https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/rubin-vera-cooper

“There is one alternative to dark matter, and that is the assumption that Newton's laws don't hold over distances as great as galaxies. But we know that Newton's laws hold over a very large domain. And virtually one hundred percent of the physics and astronomy community believes that there is matter in the universe that does not radiate.”

As quoted in [Astronomer Vera Rubin—The Doyenne of Dark Matter, Discover Magazine, http://discovermagazine.com/2002/jun/breakdialogue] (1 June 2002)

“We have peered into a new world and have seen that it is more mysterious and more complex than we had imagined. Still more mysteries of the universe remain hidden. Their discovery awaits the adventurous scientists of the future. I like it this way.”

Bright Galaxies, Dark Matters (1997), preface

“In a spiral galaxy, the ratio of dark-to-light matter is about a factor of ten. That's probably a good number for the ratio of our ignorance-to-knowledge. We're out of kindergarten, but only in about third grade.”

As quoted in In Quest of the Universe (2007) https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/0763743879, by Theo Koupelis and Karl F. Kuhn, p. 583

“I'm not a theologian, and I must say honestly that Vatican astronomers' views [on astronomy] are entirely in accord with ours. I'm not aware of any Church positions that contradict modern science. In my own life, my science and my religion are separate. I'm Jewish, and so religion to me is a kind of moral code and a kind of history. I try to do my science in a moral way, and, I believe that, ideally, science should be looked upon as something that helps us understand our role in the universe.”
