Interview: Doug Baum on the BIPH

Astronomers spend a lot of time and money getting telescopes with bigger apertures to try to collect more photons. The BIPH (Binocular Photon Machine) is a device which makes better use of the photons you do get, multiplying the signal 50,000 times, effectively tripling your aperture.

Doug Welch and I interview Doug Baum, who along with his partner Russ Lederman, has developed the BIPH. We talk about the device, how it works and the cool ways it can be used.
