The Next Einstein May Be A 27-Year-Old Iranian Woman

[Indos]

This is the girl I believe

 

[Indos]

best of luck to her.

Yes, inspirational lady indeed, and this one also inspirational young lady from your country, previous foreign minister just 35 years old

Thanks in written form in addition to the one on your thread opener, @thesolar65 , this is a bit I had missed although interested in the field. I downloaded her paper and after beginning reading, felt it right to come back and do so.

Just one small correction to better show Zahra Haghani's work in proper light though. You logically and rightfully used the Cosmic Microwave Background map from the Forbes article. Except that they are, although very good overall, not specialists in science. The map used by this brilliant lady in her study is not the older WMAP one that we used since 2006 to 2012 but rather the March 2013 CMB map provided by the PLANCK telescope / observatory of ESA with a recent 2014 version.

It corrects the older version two-fold, first densifying the results as above with greater precision of data acquisition but also, and more importantly, by specifying polarization values as below ( last December ).

This matters as there is an important gain in the knowledge of the conditions of the Universe roughly 380, 000 years after the Big Bang ( over a -13,83 BYA max distance estimate ) that allows us to better understand super-inflation and fits the Standard Model ( based on Einstein's work as well as Max Born's bridge to Quantum Mechanics of Bohr, Dirac, Pauli, Schroëdinger et al / Max Planck fame that warranted the merge a whole lot better.

As such, Ma'am Haghani is working on the very latest data and we can thus deduce that the validity of her premiss are extremely high and that their adequation and predictive quality likely to carry though for a while. PLANCK's intermediate results dating back only to September 2014 ( even supposing her status to have warranted advance knowledge ), I hope it is clear enough to all that this constitutes in science a rather impressive feat. To predict in advance if by little what results will ensue from experimental confirmation ( necessarily the case unless she works faster than all those around which amounts too the same thing in any case ) is the mark of a functional theory of worth.

Since it is this dinstinguo that validates her work, I thought the precision necessary.

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
Good day all, Tay.

Edit / P.S. 2 more Iranians signed that paper for 3 out of 4 authors!!!

Wonderful achievement, proud of you Iranian folks.

 

[Archdemon]

Why the emphasis on her? it says in article that she is one among other 4 that could be the next "Einstein"

Nikodem Poplawski (39)
Hajime Sotani (36)
Shinji Tsujikawa (39)
J. Brian Pitts (40)
So why, because she is the youngest? the only female? or maybe to lure readers to the amateurish article?

Huh??? No man, but because she was the lead researcher? … that's how scientific papers list contributors.

Good evening and shalom, Tay.

Tnx for cleaning the thread mate

Actually no, it is not what the article is saying. Actually the main theme of this article is Sparrho company which is is basically library for scientific papers and search engine, it allows for better search of relevant information, so someone searched for Einstein equations and got relevant result of people which used these equations for their own theories and research, they came close on par with Einstein predictions, this is probably why the writer chose "the next Einstein" in title, because their calculations come close to Einstein, not because of groundbreaking research. The article is about company, title disconnected from the article content.
Shalom and have a good day.

@Archdemon
Yes about Sparrho and the article, you're perfectly right there but :
I was talking about the paper itself, I have it downloaded on my HD.

And I read it already mate!
She is the lead researcher and her work is cutting edge which is why it came to be named in front of that of other teams also mentioned as you read in the Forbes piece. The Ricci tensor to energy-momentum relation it proposes does change the hypothetical value so far awarded to unseen untested matter-energy as a plug to explain the expansion quickening found recently. When you can disprove a theory ( a natural recurring process in science ) to favor a simpler one thus keeping with a streamlined body of theories, it's progress. There was a mess of looking into new models or model extensions on expansion's acceleration to boot. The object of reconciliation with potential capacities of gravity in it is also "very nice". And it both nearly dissipates dark energy and rein in dark matter!
All her theoretical references are less than 20 years old and the solution is then both based on two year old data and confirmed by data not yet over a year old!

It does not make her the equal of Einstein just yet but then physics have changed a lot since his contribution and the brane universe. One factor that point to your opinion of journalistic infatuation might also be that Einstein was 26 in 1905 when he outs relativity and so yes, OK, youngest and further more of same age +-. but by the time Einstein was 53 yo, Oort had theorized Dark Matter ( and the next year he fled Germany for the US and too well known reasons ). His latter work apart from the A-Bomb President letter affair and boosting the appeal of the nascent Institute for Advanced Studies as he failed on unified field theory and his quantum mechanics rebuttal.
In today's physics, the number of proposals is staggering compared to then and I'm not sure he'd go for brane universes or get multiple fields models or string theory, etc. Sarah Haghani could be at the dawning of her Annus Mirabilis when she explodes as he did in 1905 by producing most of his top work over all his life. Or, it might happen at 31 for her?

I entirely agree with the disconnect you spotted but having delved into it,
the selection was correct IMHoO. One could even argue that the piece
does not present her enough … if you go by the romantic inclusion vs
the bold lettering list of the "also-rans" ( themselves brilliant prospects ).

The piece was light but the work is solid; I don't think we're that far apart in what we saw?

And Shalom for this new day ( 07h30 here ) to you too, Tay.

Isn't that what Einstein did when he worked in the inventions bureau in Vienna for 10 years after his studies?

We have always been and still are at forefront of science and technology. With proper mangement and a good secular government that cares about its own national interests rather that of others, people would flock back to Iran, I know I would definetely go back.

Unlike most countries in the region, what we don't lack is the human capital.
