“In our civilization, there are permanent forms which are part of every epoch and every culture. They are not especially difficult to detect. A minimal knowledge of physics, astrophysics, and perhaps mathematics, brings to light certain patterns that make these subjects easier to understand. It is striking to see the extreme similarity between these scientific propositions and the forms that recur in all times, places and civilizations.” LightFormCertainCultureDifficultSubjectsDesignEasierCivilizationMathematicsPatternsExtremesPhysicsAll TimePermanentPropositionsSimilarityEpochAstrophysics Author:Philippe Starck

“I gained a first class degree in Physics at Imperial College London in 1968 and did research in solid state physics, but did not pursue meteorology matters until gaining an M.Sc. in astrophysics from Queen Mary College London in 1981, after which I investigated and attempted to construct theories of solar activity.” FirstsMatterStatesClassCollegeTheoryActivityDegreesResearchLondonPhysicsPursueQueensMaryConstructsFirst ClassAstrophysicsMeteorology Author:Piers Corbyn
“I've had young women come to me and say that before they watched 'Voyager' it didn't really occur to them that they could be successful in a higher position in the field of science; girls going to MIT, girls pursuing astrophysics with a view to a career in NASA.” YoungGirlViewsCareersSuccessfulFieldsPositionHigherBeing SuccessfulYoung WomenNasaAstrophysicsMit Author:Kate Mulgrew
