WEBVTT 00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:10.100 Why we hear what's the origin of life? 00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:14.700 Why the properties of the universe of the way it is is still 00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:15.400 a quest. 00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:22.200 telescope full Alice understand each and every one of these 00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:22.500 questions 00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:45.100 The primary mirror is 30 meters across. 00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:49.600 So that's three times the diameter of the current largest 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:55.100 telescopes glass. 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.000 So the way we will achieve is sizes through segments. 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:05.700 TMT bills on the heritage of the Keck Observatory telescope 00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.300 was the first segmented mirror. 00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:13.400 The mirror itself is made up of 36 segments together to make 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.000 a single surface. 00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:22.600 Three meters of roughly 400 segments is big enough that you can 00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:26.100 make the next leap in terms of our understanding of the physical 00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:29.900 Universe while not being so big as to be available. 00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:35.000 We've chosen to Summit of Mauna Kea is the sign for the thirty 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.600 meter telescope this followed a five-year campaign of testing 00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:40.600 sites around the world. 00:01:42.100 --> 00:01:46.300 It is an isolated mountain in the Pacific Ocean as extraordinarily 00:01:46.300 --> 00:01:48.500 good atmospheric turbulence properties. 00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:52.300 This gives very sharp views of the distant universe. 00:02:02.800 --> 00:02:06.600 Lesbian great progress over the last 10 years in a phenomenon 00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:10.200 which week-old Adaptive Optics which allows us to correct 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:15.000 for the blurring in the Earth's atmosphere atmosphere 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.900 and to watch the spot to tell us how that atmospheric 00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:29.700 distortions happening. It means we not any can see fine through 00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:32.900 objects, but we can actually see details much more clearly 00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:34.700 than we would ever be able to before 00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:41.100 The Hubble Space Telescope is definitely set a milestone 00:02:41.100 --> 00:02:43.000 in high resolution. 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:43.900 Imaging. 00:02:45.100 --> 00:02:48.000 We've all seen a beautiful pictures of distant galaxies. 00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:55.500 TNT with Adaptive Optics gives us a much finer quality of detail 00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:59.500 than Hubble Space Telescope Hubble is about two and a half metres 00:02:59.500 --> 00:02:59.600 across 00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:03.100 TMT is 30 meters across. 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.100 So we have that racial a factor of 15 also Improvement 00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:14.800 and image quality plus the big to see thing to detox. 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.800 So impressed with Hubble wait till you see TMJ. 00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.500 When we look deep in space with looking back in time. 00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:29.000 So what I'm trying to do is in a in a sentence build a 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.400 picture book of how the universe has evolved from its Beginnings 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:33.500 to the present day. 00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:39.100 Give me the telescope will allow is for the first time to understand. 00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:42.400 When did the very first galaxies and Stars switch on in the universe 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:51.100 earth like planets around Stars other than the Sun and it's 00:03:51.100 --> 00:03:52.100 today has not been possible. 00:03:52.100 --> 00:03:55.700 And with the thirty meter telescope, we should be able to detect 00:03:55.700 --> 00:04:00.500 an Earth-like planet and to take spectroscopy of this planet 00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:04.000 to understand the potential for life elsewhere in the universe. 00:04:06.100 --> 00:04:09.600 90% of the material in the universe is dark. 00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:13.800 We don't see it in thirty meter telescope will allow us to look 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.300 at the structure of dark matter. 00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:19.700 If you like his granularity, is it smooth is a lumpy. 00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:24.200 I'm very very fine Skiles TNT in studying. 00:04:24.200 --> 00:04:27.600 Massa will actually compliment laboratory experiments 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.100 trying to detect all matter. 00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:35.600 For example, the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva TMT is a enormously 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.300 powerful science instrument. 00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:41.700 That's part of the Armory of the physical scientist over a wide 00:04:41.700 --> 00:04:45.300 range of wavelengths uneven disciplines. 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.900 It's 400 years since the telescope first was invented on its 00:04:53.900 --> 00:04:58.100 skin an astonishing story of scientific discovery need a telescope. 00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:01.700 We like stand and continue that story in a dramatic.
