“LANGUAGE flows like a stream from distant sources of the early Stone Age, connecting our mind with the mind of our ancestors...[but] we do everything possible to forget the messages that come to us from the past.” Theodore Thepienemann-Thass (1967) The Subconscious Language. https://lnkd.in/dpZWtHc View in LinkedIn

RARE COMBO. “On the other hand, identifying strong radio emitters at high redshift has been difficult. The highest-redshift radio galaxy lies at z = 5.7, with the previous record at z = 5.2. Out of the 200 published quasars at z > 6, only three are known to be radio-loud.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

EXPANDING KNOWLEDGE. “The number of astronomical objects known within the first billion years of the universe has increased dramatically over the last few years, with galaxies being discovered up to z ~ 11 and quasars up to z ~ 7.5.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

QUASARS AND DARK MATTER. “Furthermore, radio-loud sources deep in the epoch of reionization would enable crucial absorption studies of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at this critical epoch and they could potentially also constrain the nature of dark matter particles by detecting neutral hydrogen in absorption in the radio spectrum.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

LOUD QUASARS, “Radio-loud sources at the highest accessible redshifts are of particular interest for multiple reasons. For example, radio galaxies are known to be good tracers of overdense environments, and at high redshift these overdensities could be the progenitors of the galaxy clusters seen in the present-day universe.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

QUIET QUASARS. “Yet, strong radio emission seems to be a rare or at least short-lived phenomenon. Only about 10% of all quasars are strong radio emitters, almost independent of their redshifts up to z ~ 6.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

“RADIO JETS from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are thought to play a key role in the coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, as well as in the early growth of massive black holes.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

UNIKE PHYSICS. “Molecular biology is unquestionably a highly theoretical field or group of fields. It is safe to say that molecular biologists deal in large part with distinctly theoretical entities. Yet, I hold, controversially, the view that molecular biology contains no centrally unifying theory.” https://lnkd.in/eHuXs6h9 View in LinkedIn

MOTHER QUASAR. “SMSS J2157 is the most luminous known quasar, with a 3000 Å luminosity of (4.7 ± 0.5) × 10(47)  erg s−1 and an estimated bolometric luminosity of 1.6 × 10(48) erg s−1, yet its Eddington ratio is only ∼0.4. Thus, the high luminosity of this quasar is a consequence of its extremely large BH – one of the most massive BHs at z > 4.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/eU2xwdUN View in LinkedIn
