Caleb Scharf (Columbia University)
Is humanity on Earth special or unexceptional? Extraordinary discoveries in astronomy and biology have revealed a universe filled with endlessly diverse planetary systems, and a picture of life as a phenomenon intimately linked with the most fundamental aspects of physics. But just where these discoveries will lead us is not yet clear. We may need to find a way to see past the mediocre status that Copernicus assigned to us 500 years ago. Dr. Scharf helps us to come to grips with the implications of some of the latest scientific research, from the microscopic to the cosmic.
We've long understood black holes to be the points at which the universe as we know it comes to an end. Often billions of times more massive than the Sun, they lurk in the inner sanctum of almost every galaxy of stars in the universe. They're mysterious chasms so destructive and unforgiving that not even light can escape their deadly wrath.
Recent research, however, has led to a cascade of new discoveries that have revealed an entirely different side to black holes. As the astrophysicist Caleb Scharf reveals in Gravity's Engines, these chasms in space-time don't just vacuum up everything that comes near them; they also spit out huge beams and clouds of matter. Black holes blow bubbles.
With clarity and keen intellect, Scharf masterfully explains how these bubbles profoundly rearrange the cosmos around them. Engaging with our deepest questions about the universe, he takes us on an intimate journey through the endlessly colorful place we call our galaxy and reminds us that the Milky Way sits in a special place in the cosmic zoo—a "sweet spot" of properties. Is it coincidental that we find ourselves here at this place and time? Could there be a deeper connection between the nature of black holes and their role in the universe and the phenomenon of life? We are, after all, made of the stuff of stars.

Science writers Lee Billings & Caleb Scharf discuss the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.
The age-old question of whether we're alone in the universe - or if other life forms thrive among the stars - gets a brand new examination from science writer Lee Billings through his book, Five Billion Years of Solitude. In this critically-acclaimed volume, Lee charts the history of man's quest to determine what other Earth-like planets may exist in the universe.
Joining Lee for the evening will be Caleb Scharf, director of the Columbia Astrobiology Center at Columbia University. Caleb is the author of Gravity's Engines: The Other Side of Black Holes, and is the winner of the 2011 Chambliss Astronomical Writing Award as well as a medal from the American Astronomical Society. His blog on Scientific American is called Life, Unbound.

When an estimated 7,000-ton meteor exploded in Earth's atmosphere on Feb. 15, showering Siberia with debris, it put a spotlight on the fact that Earth is constantly bombarded with the detritus of the solar system. Caleb Scharf, director of astrobiology in Columbia's Astrophysics Laboratory, says these materials once formed planets and come in every size imaginable from microscopic grains to giant asteroids that may be miles across. "The bigger they are, the rarer they are and the less and less likely it is for their orbits to ever intersect with ours," he recently wrote in his Scientific American blog. "It does happen though, and across Earth's history we've been hit by some pretty serious stuff "ask the dinosaurs." In this video, Scharf discusses meteors, the recent strike in Siberia, defensive options available to us and more. more:http://news.columbia.edu/meteor

Astrobiologist Caleb Scharf and science writer Dennis Overbye discuss our cosmic significance in a universe of planets.
Caleb Scharf, Director of Astrobiology at Columbia University, returns to Strand for his latest book, The Copernicus Complex, a thoughtful and exciting look at our place in the universe. Combining knowledge of cutting edge science with the skills of a master storyteller, Caleb provides curious readers of all stripes with a glimpse of what the latest discoveries about the nature of the universe point to: a shift as radical as that surrounding Copernicus' theory itself.
Caleb is joined by science writer and journalist Dennis Overbye.

Throughout history, every culture believed that the earth was the center of our universe. That is, until Copernicus proposed that the earth revolved around the sun, and our existence was demoted from one of significance to one of mediocrity. In Caleb Scharf's new book, he weaves together cutting-edge science, history, and philosophy to propose that our place in the universe lies somewhere in the balance, encompassing both our indistinguishable coexistence with all that surrounds us and our uniqueness within the particular time, place, and circumstances in which we exist. For a deeper look into Scharf's new theory and exploration of what it means on both a scientific and human level, enjoy this recording of a conversation between Scharf and UW Professor of Earth and Space Sciences, David Catling.

A narrated tour of the universe. Where do all the ingredients for life in the universe come from ? For the young Earth, some 4 billion years ago, it seems that at least some of the chemistry may have come from the nebula or molecular cloud out of which our planetary system formed. This lecture describes the big picture of how we go from protons, to planets, and finally to lifeforms like penguins !

Episode #205 “Super Fortuna Believer"
From time immemorial, mankind has feared the power of a boundless universe, sky falling, icy floods, and even the self-inflicted emotional wounds, triggering its wheel of fortune. Mankind’s main pursuit consists in making meaning, finding explanations and creating stories, which both sooth fears and serve as moral compasses.
Caleb Scharf, “The Copernicus Complex” asks the big questions: What is our significance in the vast, ever-expanding universe of which we occupy such a small part? What are the chances we will one day detect life elsewhere in the cosmos? According to Scharf, there is compelling evidence that the Copernican Principle—the idea that the Earth is an insignificant, unremarkable speck in a boundless sea—is in need of an update.
Paul Strohm, “The Chaucer’s Tale” takes on the theme of rebirth. At the start of 1386, Chaucer was a middle-aged Londoner with a distasteful customs job and husband to a higher-ranking wife. By 1387, he was forced to leave London jobless, a widower, and without political allies. Strohm unravels how this calamitous year led to Chaucer’s rebirth as a literary celebrity.
Barb Schmidt, “The Practice,” looks at how the mind has a way of interfering with personal happiness, often causing stress and doubt. Getting in touch with one’s inner source of peace and following its guidance over the mind often-unfounded concerns requires training and discipline. This guide is for people who are looking for confidence, less stress, and deeper meaning along life’s path.

Caleb
Caleb, sometimes transliterated as Kaleb (כָּלֵב, Kalev; Tiberian vocalization: Kālēḇ; Hebrew Academy: Kalev) is a figure who appears in the Hebrew Bible as a representative of the Tribe of Judah during the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. A reference to him may also be found in the Quran, although his name is not mentioned.
Name
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "since "Caleb" signifies dog, it has been thought that the dog was the totem of [Caleb's] clan".Strong's Concordance states that "Caleb" is "perhaps a form of keleb (Hebrew: כָּ֫לֶב), meaning "dog", or else from the same root in the sense of "forcible", whereas the New American Standard Exhaustive Concordance states that keleb is of "uncertain derivation".
The original Hebrew name is pronounced /ˈkɑːlɛb/ or /ˈkɑːlɛv/; the modern English pronunciation /ˈkeɪləb/ is courtesy of the Great Vowel Shift.
Biblical account
(1) "Caleb the Son of Jephunneh" was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses into Canaan, as reported in Numbers Chapter 13:3:

We've long understood black holes to be the points at which the universe as we know it comes to an end. Often billions of times more massive than the Sun, they lurk in the inner sanctum of almost every galaxy of stars in the universe. They're mysterious chasms so destructive and unforgiving that not even light can escape their deadly wrath.
Recent research, however, has led to a cascade of new discoveries that have revealed an entirely different side to black holes. As the astrophysicist Caleb Scharf reveals in Gravity's Engines, these chasms in space-time don't just vacuum up everything that comes near them; they also spit out huge beams and clouds of matter. Black holes blow bubbles.
With clarity and keen intellect, Scharf masterfully explains how these bubbles profoundly rearrange the cosmos around them. Engaging with our deepest questions about the universe, he takes us on an intimate journey through the endlessly colorful place we call our galaxy and reminds us that the Milky Way sits in a special place in the cosmic zoo—a "sweet spot" of properties. Is it coincidental that we find ourselves here at this place and time? Could there be a deeper connection between the nature of black holes and their role in the universe and the phenomenon of life? We are, after all, made of the stuff of stars.
wn.com/Caleb Scharf Gravity's Engines How Bubble Blowing Black Holes Rule ... | Talks At Google
We've long understood black holes to be the points at which the universe as we know it comes to an end. Often billions of times more massive than the Sun, they lurk in the inner sanctum of almost every galaxy of stars in the universe. They're mysterious chasms so destructive and unforgiving that not even light can escape their deadly wrath.
Recent research, however, has led to a cascade of new discoveries that have revealed an entirely different side to black holes. As the astrophysicist Caleb Scharf reveals in Gravity's Engines, these chasms in space-time don't just vacuum up everything that comes near them; they also spit out huge beams and clouds of matter. Black holes blow bubbles.

Science writers Lee Billings & Caleb Scharf discuss the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.
The age-old question of whether we're alone in the universe - or if other life forms thrive among the stars - gets a brand new examination from science writer Lee Billings through his book, Five Billion Years of Solitude. In this critically-acclaimed volume, Lee charts the history of man's quest to determine what other Earth-like planets may exist in the universe.
Joining Lee for the evening will be Caleb Scharf, director of the Columbia Astrobiology Center at Columbia University. Caleb is the author of Gravity's Engines: The Other Side of Black Holes, and is the winner of the 2011 Chambliss Astronomical Writing Award as well as a medal from the American Astronomical Society. His blog on Scientific American is called Life, Unbound.

When an estimated 7,000-ton meteor exploded in Earth's atmosphere on Feb. 15, showering Siberia with debris, it put a spotlight on the fact that Earth is constantly bombarded with the detritus of the solar system. Caleb Scharf, director of astrobiology in Columbia's Astrophysics Laboratory, says these materials once formed planets and come in every size imaginable from microscopic grains to giant asteroids that may be miles across. "The bigger they are, the rarer they are and the less and less likely it is for their orbits to ever intersect with ours," he recently wrote in his Scientific American blog. "It does happen though, and across Earth's history we've been hit by some pretty serious stuff "ask the dinosaurs."

Throughout history, every culture believed that the earth was the center of our universe. That is, until Copernicus proposed that the earth revolved around the sun, and our existence was demoted from one of significance to one of mediocrity. In Caleb Scharf's new book, he weaves together cutting-edge science, history, and philosophy to propose that our place in the universe lies somewhere in the balance, encompassing both our indistinguishable coexistence with all that surrounds us and our uniqueness within the particular time, place, and circumstances in which we exist. For a deeper look into Scharf's new theory and exploration of what it means on both a scientific and human level, enjoy this recording of a conversation between Scharf and UW Professor of Earth and Space Sciences, David Catling.

Episode #205 “Super Fortuna Believer"
From time immemorial, mankind has feared the power of a boundless universe, sky falling, icy floods, and even the self-inflicted emotional wounds, triggering its wheel of fortune. Mankind’s main pursuit consists in making meaning, finding explanations and creating stories, which both sooth fears and serve as moral compasses.
Caleb Scharf, “The Copernicus Complex” asks the big questions: What is our significance in the vast, ever-expanding universe of which we occupy such a small part? What are the chances we will one day detect life elsewhere in the cosmos? According to Scharf, there is compelling evidence that the Copernican Principle—the idea that the Earth is an insignificant, unremarkable speck in a boundless sea—is in need of an update.
Paul Strohm, “The Chaucer’s Tale” takes on the theme of rebirth. At the start of 1386, Chaucer was a middle-aged Londoner with a distasteful customs job and husband to a higher-ranking wife. By 1387, he was forced to leave London jobless, a widower, and without political allies. Strohm unravels how this calamitous year led to Chaucer’s rebirth as a literary celebrity.
Barb Schmidt, “The Practice,” looks at how the mind has a way of interfering with personal happiness, often causing stress and doubt. Getting in touch with one’s inner source of peace and following its guidance over the mind often-unfounded concerns requires training and discipline. This guide is for people who are looking for confidence, less stress, and deeper meaning along life’s path.
