| 0:00.0 | This is a CBSI on the world. I'm John Bachelor cosmology. There's nothing that makes you feel better about being alive than cosmology. It's everything we don't know and |
| 0:15.5 | we have a professor, a Dr. Marcel Polofsky from Leibniz Junior Research Group leader from Leibniz Junior Research Group Leader, |
| 0:22.9 | from Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, |
| 0:26.6 | working on the dwarf galaxy question |
| 0:30.4 | about how many there are, |
| 0:31.8 | are there too many, |
| 0:33.0 | they're too little, does the standard model answer just right? |
| 0:36.0 | We're now about to turn to the possibility that |
| 0:39.0 | Marcel has an unlimited budget, which is the dream of all astronomers so Marcel tell David |
| 0:46.6 | and myself what are you going to do with your money well there's a very |
| 0:51.4 | attractive scenario of course. I think there I would have two to |
| 0:56.5 | answers one is kind of the obvious one so we need more more data we really want |
| 1:02.2 | to understand the universe better so it would be nice to focus on |
| 1:06.8 | discovering more dwarf galaxies around distant hosts down to very, very faint luminosities for the dwarfs, which means very deep observations. |
| 1:16.5 | So something like Nancy J. Grace Ruman Space Telescope is coming up. |
| 1:21.6 | Lots of observing time with that to really find all the faintest |
| 1:25.2 | drops. And then also once you found them you need to follow up, you need to know their velocities, |
| 1:31.5 | you need to know their distances.ities, you need to know their distances. |
| 1:32.8 | So for all that you would again like to have additional observation |
| 1:36.9 | data. |
| 1:37.8 | So we have made very good use of the Muse instrument on the European Southern Observatory's built. |
| 1:45.5 | So that would be, well, if I have unlimited budget, |
