  • Gravitational Waves, as Quantum Flunctuations

    “According to modern understanding, even if all matter could be removed from a volume, it would still not be “empty” due to vacuum fluctuations, dark energy, transiting gamma- and cosmic rays, neutrinos, along with other phenomena in quantum physics. In modern particle physics, the vacuum state is considered as the ground state of matter.” See:…

  • Quantum Tunnelling

    Quantum tunnelling or tunneling (see spelling differences) refers to the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle tunnels through a barrier that it classically could not surmount. This plays an essential role in several physical phenomena, such as the nuclear fusion that occurs in main sequence stars like the Sun.[1] It has important applications to modern…

  • Flatland in Expression?

    Professor Konstantin Novoselov talks about his Nobel Prize winning discovery graphene, and what the future holds for it in the 2012 Kohn Award Lecture SEE: Graphene: materials in the flatland See Also: 2012 : WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DEEP, ELEGANT, OR BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATION? Two Paul Steinhardt Projects: “Cyclic Universe” and “Quasicrystals” Nobel laureate Andre Geim…

  • Raphael Bousso & Carlo Rovelli Reverse Debate

    Raphael Bousso & Carlo Rovelli Reverse Debate introduced by Max Tegmark @ FQXi conference FQXi’s 4th International Conference, “The Physics of Information” January 5-10, 2014 Vieques Island, Puerto Rico It had me scratching my head( how do you walk in another person’s shoes)…..and really quite humorous. If they tried to exchange shoes that would have…

  • Is Reality a Virtual Simulation?

    To my mind there must be, at the bottom of it all, not an equation, but an utterly simple idea. And to me that idea, when we finally discover it, will be so compelling, so inevitable, that we will say to one another, “Oh, how beautiful ! How could it have been otherwise?”From a personal…

  • SCOAP3 to start on 1 January 2014

    Geneva 5 December 2013. After intense preparations and consensus building, CERN[1] has today confirmed that the SCOAP3 Open Access publishing initiative will start on 1 January 2014. With the support of partners in 24 countries[2], a vast fraction of scientific articles in the field of High-Energy Physics will become Open Access at no cost for…

  • Nima Arkani-Hamed Speaks with Ian McEwan

    You Might like to move ahead to 12:45 on sliding scale….somewhat of an improvement from 15:45 of about 3:00 seconds. Nima acknowledges in speaking,  about the introduction of this video,  of a metaphor considering the Higg’s Boson,  and of course speaks to the metaphors limitations.  So along with 3 seconds savings,  you also get to…

  • Russian Space Walkers

    Two Russian cosmonauts in Orlan spacesuits wrapped up a 8-hour, 7-minute spacewalk to attempt the installation of photographic equipment on the exterior of the International Space Station at 4:07 p.m. EST Friday.

  • Genius Materials

    Researchers working with magnetic fluids on the International Space Station are taking “smart materials” to the next level. With proper coaxing, molecules can assemble themselves into “genius materials” with surprising properties. This is opening a new frontier in material science. ScienceCasts: Genius Materials on the ISS Dialogos of Eide
