>From a star theoretical physicist, a journey into the world of particle physics and the cosmos — and a call for a more just practice of science.

>In The Disordered Cosmos, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shares her love for physics, from the Standard Model of Particle Physics and what lies beyond it, to the physics of melanin in skin, to the latest theories of dark matter — all with a new spin informed by history, politics, and the wisdom of Star Trek.

>One of the leading physicists of her generation, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is also one of fewer than one hundred Black American women to earn a PhD from a department of physics. Her vision of the cosmos is vibrant, buoyantly non-traditional, and grounded in Black feminist traditions.

>Prescod-Weinstein urges us to recognize how science, like most fields, is rife with racism, sexism, and other dehumanizing systems. She lays out a bold new approach to science and society that begins with the belief that we all have a fundamental right to know and love the night sky. The Disordered Cosmos dreams into existence a world that allows everyone to tap into humanity’s wealth of knowledge about the wonders of the universe.

The Globohomo New Wave?

> She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics and Astronomy at Harvard College in 2003. Her thesis, "A study of winds in active galactic nuclei", was completed under the supervision of Martin Elvis.[4] She then earned a master's degree in Astronomy in 2005 at the University of California, Santa Cruz, working with Anthony Aguirre.[5] In 2006, Prescod-Weinstein changed research directions and ultimately moved to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics to work with Dr. Lee Smolin. In 2010, Prescod-Weinstein completed her Ph.D. dissertation, titled "Acceleration as Quantum Gravity Phenomenology",[6] under the supervision of Lee Smolin and Niayesh Afshordi at University of Waterloo, while conducting her research at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.

No, but the only black woman they could manage to push through the Ph.D programme (no doubt bumping some Asian man from it). That is obviously her qualification: being black AND female, an affirmative action coup! lol

The latter of course. How could anyone ever get tired of saying “nigger”?

>> No.18495543

This is why blacks can't be intellectuals. They refuse to be anything but *black* intellectuals. They do *black* philosophy. They preach *black* theology. They think about *black* physics. These are nonsense. There is no white philosophy. There is no yellow theology. The moment a black transcends this mode of thinking, he ceases to become a "black" thinker, and becomes just a thinker instead. To be stuck in colored adjectives is to be imprisoned.

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein isn't a star theoretical physicist, she's only relevant for being somewhere between 1/8 and 1/16 black and writing social justice screeds.
