Dr. Pierre-Marie Robitaille is a world-class scientist and engineer responsible for doubling the power of the MRI medical imaging system. His insights from radio-imaging human bodies led to groundbreaking revelations about astronomical radio spectra, which ultimately led to him questioning the central dogma of solar science concerning the material nature of Earth's central star. This is the first of a four-part series with Dr. Robitaille.
