For this part of studio one, I chose the groups Astrophysicists, Philosophers of Science,
and World Governments from my conversation map because not only do I feel that these groups
have the most influence on the issue, but I also feel as though the distinction between
Philosophers of Science and astrophysicists is sometimes a blurry thing that needs clarification.
The first meme I made, which depicts an understanding of world governmental influences and
actions in congruence to my LOI, has 6 panels because the scope of any governments influence
is wide, wider, for example, than individuals or groups such as astrophysicists or Philosophers.
In the mind of the public and space agencies, governments can sometimes be seen as monetarily
stingy due to the preconception that all governments are corrupt or holding back just how
wealthy they are. Governments also dont place much emphasis on space, which they should
technically focus on more, or else the earth could be doomed. As for philosophers of science
(meaning, those who postulate and theorize according to the reality they observe in the universe),
to those they work with or are around constantly, they may seem overly contemplative or as if
their head is in the clouds, however, it is not without contemplation and thinking that one can
solve quantum equations. Lastly, for astrophysicists, life is less about watching the sky or being
as groundbreaking as einstein and more about programming results of study into a computer.
This programming is how data of the universe is recorded and understood, and lends merit to
both the accuracy and precision of an astrophysicists understanding and therefore, conveying, of
the universe.
