Here are some notable cosmologists throughout history and in contemporary research: ### Historical Figures - **Edwin Hubble** - Known for Hubble's Law and his contributions to the understanding of the expanding universe. - **Albert Einstein** - Developed the theory of general relativity, which laid the groundwork for modern cosmology.
Mario Hamuy 1970-01-01
Mario Hamuy is a noted Chilean astronomer, recognized for his research in astrophysics, particularly in the study of supernovae and cosmology. He has made significant contributions to our understanding of the expansion of the universe and the role of dark energy. Hamuy is also involved in the development and use of astronomical observatories and instruments. In addition to his research work, he has been engaged in science communication and promoting astronomy education in Chile and beyond.
Electronic Commerce Protection Act 1970-01-01
The Electronic Commerce Protection Act (ECPA) refers primarily to legislation enacted in Canada, also known as Bill C-28, which was implemented to regulate electronic commerce and combat spam. The primary focus of this act is to establish rules surrounding unsolicited commercial electronic messages (like emails, SMS messages, etc.), while also promoting the growth of a robust electronic marketplace.
Email-address harvesting 1970-01-01
Email-address harvesting refers to the practice of collecting email addresses from various online sources for the purpose of building a list for marketing, spamming, or other unsolicited communications. This process can be done using various methods, including: 1. **Web Scraping**: Automated tools or scripts can crawl websites to extract email addresses listed in public forums, blogs, social media profiles, and business websites.
Anonymous matching 1970-01-01
Anonymous matching is a technique used primarily in the fields of data privacy and security to match data records without revealing identifying information about the individuals involved. This method is particularly relevant in contexts where sensitive information is being handled, such as in health care, finance, or social networking. The primary goal of anonymous matching is to allow for data analysis, comparison, or integration while ensuring that personal identifiers remain confidential.
Anonymous remailer 1970-01-01
An anonymous remailer is a service that allows users to send emails without revealing their identity or the origin of the message. When a user sends an email through an anonymous remailer, the service strips the original sender's information (like the email address and IP address) and typically replaces it with the remailer's own address or anonymizes the information. This process helps to protect the sender's privacy and anonymity.
Array controller based encryption 1970-01-01
Array controller-based encryption typically refers to a method of managing and implementing encryption across a networked environment, which can include various servers, storage devices, and data flows. The concept often involves the use of an array controller, which is a hardware or software component responsible for managing a set of storage devices or operations, to handle encryption processes.
Backdoor (computing) 1970-01-01
In computing, a **backdoor** refers to a method of bypassing normal authentication or security mechanisms in a computer system, network, or software application. Backdoors can provide unauthorized users with access to a system without needing to go through standard login procedures or security measures. There are several contexts in which backdoors may be relevant: 1. **Malicious Software**: Backdoors are often associated with malware.
Bitcoin Gold 1970-01-01
Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a cryptocurrency that was created in October 2017 as a fork of the original Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain. The primary motivation for the creation of Bitcoin Gold was to make mining more accessible to the average person and to decentralize the mining process.
Blacker (security) 1970-01-01
In the context of security, particularly in relation to computer and network security, "Blacker" refers to a specific type of secure infrastructure and communication system. The term is most commonly associated with the "Blacker" devices used by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to protect sensitive information. The primary role of Blacker systems is to serve as a point of demarcation between secure and unsecure networks.
Information leakage 1970-01-01
Information leakage refers to the unauthorized transmission or exposure of sensitive information to individuals or systems that are not entitled to access it. This can occur in various contexts, including in computing, business, and data security. Here are a few key aspects of information leakage: 1. **Types of Information**: The leaked information can include personal data, corporate secrets, intellectual property, or classified government information.
Information security 1970-01-01
Information security, often abbreviated as InfoSec, refers to the practices and processes designed to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Its primary goal is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (often referred to as the CIA triad) of data, whether it is stored, processed, or transmitted. Key components of information security include: 1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access.
Initialization vector 1970-01-01
An **Initialization Vector (IV)** is a crucial component in cryptographic algorithms, especially in symmetric encryption schemes. It is a random or pseudo-random value that is used along with a secret key to ensure that the same plaintext encrypted multiple times produces different ciphertexts. This variability helps to enhance the security of the encryption.

Flyposting 1970-01-01
Flyposting refers to the practice of placing posters or other advertisements in public spaces without permission from the property owner or local authorities. This activity is often associated with promoting events, artistic expressions, political messages, or commercial products. Flyposting is typically considered illegal in many jurisdictions, as it may violate laws regarding littering or public display regulations. However, it has also been embraced by some artists as a form of street art or guerrilla marketing.
Hanns Hörbiger 1970-01-01
Hanns Hörbiger (1860–1931) was an Austrian engineer and inventor known primarily for his controversial theory of "World Ice," which he proposed as an alternative cosmological explanation for various celestial phenomena. Hörbiger's ideas suggested that ice played a fundamental role in the formation and structure of the universe, influencing everything from the creation of planets to the orbits of celestial bodies.
