Question

By multiplying with a reference signal and then integrating, this astronomer developed a device to detect signals in high noise environments called a lock-in amplifier. An optical cavity (15[1])coupled to a set of two level systems is this physicist’s namesake model that first predicted superradiance. (15[1])Using Dirac’s large numbers hypothesis, this physicist first argued for the anthropic principle, and he also allegedly coined the name of black holes (-5[1])based on the Black Hole of Calcutta. (-5[2])This scientist learned via (-5[1])(*) phone call that he had been “scooped” (-5[1])in his discovery of the CMBR. (10[2])Doppler broadening is reduced by frequent collisions (10[1])in a “narrowing” named for this (10[1])man. (-5[1])This physicist is the second namesake of a scalar field theory which replaces one over big G with a varying scalar field. For 10 points, identify this American physicist who co-names an alternative to GR with Carl Brans. (10[1])■END■ (10[4]0[18])
