Brown APJC Oct 2002 Rick Gaitskell Andy Warhol - Pop Artist 1960’s - “Exactly” The pop artist Andy Warhol once approached me at a party and told me that he collected scientific journals, but he couldn't understand them. He drifted away, then came back and said, "Do you mind if I ask you a question?…Why does science take so long?" I said, "Mr. Warhol, when you do a picture of Marilyn Monroe, does it have to be exactly like her, as close to being her as you can make it?" He said, "Oh no." I said, "Well, in science it has to be exact, as EXACT as you can make it." He looked at me with sympathy and said, "Isn't that terrible?" Gerald M. Edelman Bright Air, Brilliant Fire (1992)

Brown APJC Oct 2002 Rick Gaitskell Why is Polarization Important? (Old) CMB polarization is induced via Thomson scattering, which occurs either at decoupling or during a later epoch of reionization. The level of polarization is linked to the local quadrupole anisotropy of the incident radiation on the scattering eletrons, and it is expected to be 1-10% of the amplitude of the temperature anisotropies depending on the angular scale. CMB polarization is important for two reasons: first, polarization measurements can substantially improve the accuracy with which parameters are measured by breaking the degeneracy between certain parameter combinations; second, it also offers an independent test of the basic assumptions that underly the standard cosmological model. Contrary to most of the Astronomy field that uses the Stokes parameters Q and U to describe their polarization measurements, in the CMB field we make use of two scalar fields E and B that are independent of how the coordinate system is oriented, and are related to the tensor field (Q,U) by a non-local transformation. Scalar CMB fluctuations have been shown to generate only E-fluctuations, whereas gravity waves, CMB lensing and foregrounds generate both E and B.
