  • This week we have another long-form episode! David got a little obsessed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) a few months ago and spent hours and hours researching and talking to experts so that he can try to explain it here on the podcast for Marques and Andrew. This one is a little dense but if you're even remotely interested in the mysteries of our universe this one is for you. David explains why the JWST is such a big deal and what we hope to discover once it begins sending back pictures.
    Chapters:
    00:00 Intro
    03:04 History lesson
    09:00 Why Hubble is different
    13:15 Red Shift explanation
    19:06 How telescopes help science
    29:37 Ad break
    29:40 How scientists find exoplanets
    43:46 Ad break 2
    43:48 James Webb Space Telescope engineering feats
    01:11:45 Outro

    Just 1 correction. Frequency is not the same as how many photons are hitting you per second. For light, when you talk about frequency, you refer to the flipping of its electro-magnetic field. In the interview, the explanation he gave with light buckets, he was talking about intensity. The reason we need very big telescope is because a wavefront travelling through large distance, even for a very coherent emitter gets spread over time. You can think of this as mapping the surface of sphere onto a bigger sphere. The total quantity of emission stays the same but is now distributed over a much larger area.. The reason we need these big telescopes is to increase our probability of capturing these radiations since they are so much spread out. A pool will collect much more water than a bucket, i.e., the chances of rain drops hitting the pool is much higher because of its larger surface area.
    Otherwise, great video :)

      Thanks for writing this, it saves me a bit of time, lol. I believe that he got the points confused when discussing the infrared detector. He was likely told that infrared detectors do not work as well as visible ones because of the lower energy of infrared photons - this is true, it just has nothing to do with the number of photons, it's e=hv. This means that infrared detectors either have to be much larger or would have to amplify their signal a certain amount just to give the same reading a visible detector would. This is why infrared detectors are extremely expensive relative to visible detectors.
