Frases de Vera Rubin

Vera Cooper Rubin foi uma astrônoma estadunidense, pioneira no estudo das curvas de rotação de galáxias espirais. Sua principal contribuição foi mostrar de maneira convincente que a velocidade de rotação nas regiões externas destas galáxias é muito maior que aquela que seria produzida por suas estrelas. Essa discrepância é considerada uma das principais evidências da existência de matéria escura. Wikipedia

Vera Rubin: Frases em inglês

“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.”

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.”

“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.”
