By catdynamics on March 22, 2010. In six words. Like this: "Observe extragalactic Cepheids pulsate. Measure H0." h/t David Brin with a special thanks to PZ. No, not that PZ, the real PZ. Tags Academia astro Science More like this Get stimulus funding. Pay summer salary. Detect gravitational waves. Win Nobel prize! Use Buzzwords: LSST, ALMA, TMT, GSMT Go deep with big telescope. Find dark matter particles. Be famous. more seriously: Find stars between galaxies. Probe interactions. Find progenitor galaxies to Milky Way. Measure stellar initial final mass relation. Discover dark matter mini-halos directly. Simulate first galaxies. Include physics. Reionize. Finish the Scientific Revolution Wash, rinse, document, repeat. Define the Universe. Give three examples. More seriously: Find Earthlike planet around another star. Detect Higgs boson, win Nobel Prize. Find cancer cure, run clinical trial. Underpants gnome. Science! (I only needed three.) Observe a pulsar: watch for accretion. Pulsar wind meets ISM: bow shock? Understand motivic ternary-mology. Derive CKM matrix. Got GALEX SPITZER CHANDRA. Need HST. Clown porn actor seeks God's love? We propose to shift the paradigm. I would claim the h0 is two words! This is a real NSF proposal boiled down to six words: Telescopes in classrooms. Look for supernovae. Measure neutron star mass, radius.
