O rzeczach w kosmosie, o których nie śniło się reżyserom filmów science fiction | Sebastian Szybka

The cosmos is even stranger—and more fascinating—than science fiction films portray. Dr. Sebastian Szybka, professor at the Jagiellonian University Astronomical Observatory and head of the Department of Relativistic Astrophysics and Cosmology, in an interview with Wojciech Brzeziński (Tygodnik Powszechny) discusses contemporary cosmology and phenomena that continue to surprise even specialists. He also addresses the development of this science: how is our understanding of the cosmos changing? Why are the equations in 19th-century books on the universe—for example, those written by James Clerck Maxwell—still correct, but their interpretations are flawed? Are we on the verge of a paradigm shift in physics today? How has cosmology evolved from a speculative field to a highly precise, observation-based science in recent decades? Sebastian Szybka is a professor of physics at the Jagiellonian University Astronomical Observatory. He specializes in relativistic physics. For years, he has been popularizing science on the Copernicus channel and in "Tygodnik Powszechny." Wojciech Brzeziński is a journalist specializing in science and technology, as well as the social consequences of scientific and technological developments. He publishes in publications such as "Tygodnik Powszechny."
