Description: This is the story of Bernie Mills Chris Christiansen Paul Wild and Ron Bracewell members of a team of radio astronomers that would lead Australia and the world into this new field of research. Each of the four is remembered for his remarkable work: Mills for the development the cross type instrument that now bears his name; Christiansen for the application of rotational synthesis techniques; Wild for the masterful joining of observations and theory to elicit the nature of the solar atmosphere; Bracewell for his contribution to imaging theory. As well these Four Pillars are remembered for creating a remarkable environment for scientific discovery and for influencing the careers of future generations. Their pursuit of basic science helped pave the way for technological developments in areas ranging from Wi - Fi to sonar to medical imaging to air navigation and for underpinning the foundations of modern cosmology and astrophysics.
