Astrophysics and philosophy are not opposing entities, represented by a thesis and antithesis, but rather a synthesis. Their common truths can be reconciled to form a greater and more profound thesis. Kant explained that “two things fill the mind with ever increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me”[1]. I have found that this increasing admiration compels me to study both the starry heavens and the moral law within me. The two separate entities have important points of contact. The starry heavens compel me to act according to the moral law, as the moral law drives a further scientific understanding.

To photograph the very infancy of the Universe—back when it was mere seconds years old—you need an extremely complex camera. In an operation that seems not unlike the building of a backyard tree fort, the EBEX team at Columbia University, led by physicist Amber Miller, has spent seven years building a complex balloon-borne telescope. When it takes flight later this year, over the icy dunes of Antarctica, the hope is that scientists will be able to glimpse a little further into the past than ever before.
