00:00.000 B-TomT recording promo, forgot to mention 2nd/4th Monday radio shows. Brain trust wil be here.
00:52.930 Earth Sky mass of the Milky Way = 1.6T solar masses, based on speed of Leo I satellite galaxy.
02:22.817 ChuckMcP is here 200+ outreaches per year.
03:22.794 Donnie Telsa in space, etc. CM to record
07:43.529 Ratzo Midnight Cowboy TT everyone is a showman, Ben Ferguson, works at SB Honda. B-had a phase "B on the Prowl" was an idea, J. Cason set on the street.
09:37.062 SBAU radio show start: music-"It was a calm and cloudless night" Summertime 1609, Galileo...2nd Monday of the month gathering to break bread...TomW bread. TT TomW prof at Westmont, newsletter; Pres JW, Outreach Coordinator CM. TW-sourdough bakery in SF, 3 wheats, Central Milling, Petaluma. Teach lab Mon aft. JW sick 4-5days. TW-delayed start for Westmont due to fire and slides. 3rd Friday Star party at Westmont. B-angle of Milky Way? looking at center? CM-now, edge; summer-center. [Q: which direction of solar system is heading around the MW? Sun-N pole?] JW-Australia TT-blood rush to head. CM-explaining MW orientation in sky. TW-Orion belt stars on Meridian (equator?). CM-stories good to tell at planetarium shows. TT-CM several stories on Pleaides. Little Dipper. B-car into space? music-Gato
20:44.793 music-Gato Europa. B-off air conversation, no idea, dark matter, dark energy, universe getting bigger? CM- B-earth rushing up to meet you? JW-earth gravity feels like in a elevator. CM-Time may be slowing down instead of space expanding at an accelerating rate. JW-universe, random number of universes, we have the right fundamental constants. intriguing speculation. the scientific method. B-Hubble found other galaxies red shift. speed of light away? JW-cant travel faster than speed of light. but are some galaxies moving faster than SOL. CM-space itself can expand faster than speed of light. B-which direction? JW-only in respect to other things. CM-maybe a big rip in future. B-dark matter/energy diff? JW-not sure what it is. B-what is winning? JW-maybe other dimensions, time begins and travels in two directions. TW-Linday, at Stanford, talks about multiple universes. has to be tested. B-Geo Gamov 1,2,3 infinity book. diff infinities, geometric curves, like multiverses? JW-handy to have a few beers when discussing this. JW-Einstein had two principles to start...hunch, develop a theory, he thot some things would never be proved. Special Rel vs General Rel, tried for Unified Field Theory. JW-lots of books on this. B-bible does not mention. TT-sci method. JW-easier to just do physics. CM-Turtles all the way down.
33:46.058 music-once i had enuf of a mass i became a star of gas... B-pass a law that you can not send stupid stuff in space. car to land on mars? JW-just orbit out to Mars. CM-Musk wanted to show he could lift that much mass. [Q:what could you send up that would be good for science, but not too much cost to monitor?] Richard Dupree: Falcon Heavy.. CM-Saturn V was biggest. RD-Russian rocket is biggest? CM-Proton just man rated. JW-SpaceX going for that rating, w/ Dragon capsule. B-just 3 rockets tied together, nothing new. CM-but a new system. RD-BFR? JW-will lift a heavier load. B-moth on side of rocket? shuttle? CM-too dangerous. o-ring in booster, wing insulation problems. JW-Nasa was not concerned w cost cutting with reuseabiilty. CM-computers are better now.
41:27.394 music-Carl Sagan, on this shore, we have learned most of what we know....Cosmos is within us, we are made of star stuff...ship of the imagination...anywhere in space and time...come w/ me. B-Cosmos hour. TT-is the Tesla the fastest vehicle in space? B-17K low earth orbit, 25Kmph to leave earth. B-slingshot effect...some taken back? CM-yes, but use the angular momentum of the planet. JW-all the math to do that was developed in the 1600's. Newton Principia (sic) JW-1st explained his calculus. TW-math of change. JW-have sliderule in glass case in case of emergency...break the glass.. B-long formulas on board, can JW understand that? JW-doing some luminosity right now. B-is E=MC2 used now? TT-nuclear weapons research CM-solar physics. TW-doing labs Arduino modules permability of free space measured by coil mag fields extract value of Mzero(?) 10-5 Tesla...Gauss...TT-how strong is Earth? 1/2 Gauss. B-like deGausing? JW-unit of strenght. TW-German mathematician. music-as a spaceship files...strong embrace of a black hole...
51:01.794 music-Gato-Europa... B-share w vast audience, cosmos telsa TW-outreach at Westmont this Friday...hwy 192 is open from the W to Cold Springs...not sure about Hot Springs access up from Montecito. Find 5 pts circle..Eucalyptus hill rd comes up to just E of Cold Springs. B-how telescope compare to Museum's. JW-pulling dagger out..need to re-initialize. B-Beatrice Farrand Hall B-reverse Q lecture JW-save for potluck in June TT-keep standards up to Adrian Lopez's talk.
