  • Exploring Matter At the Dawn of Time

    Physicist Paul Sorensen describes discoveries made at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. At RHIC, scientists from around the world study what the universe may have looked like in the first microseconds after its birth, helping us to understand more about why the physical world works the way…

  • Detailed Characterization of Jets in Heavy Ion Collisions Using Jet Shapes and Jet Fragmentation Functions

    The CMS detector has excellent capabilities for studying high-pT jets formed in heavy ion collisions. Previous CMS analyses have characterized the energy loss of hard-scattered partons traversing the medium produced in such collisions at a center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV using the momentum imbalance of di-jet and photon-jet events. In this paper, the…

  • Hubble Movie Theater: Revelation

    Take a thrill ride through 15 years of Hubble images, starting with Hubble’s first picture and ending with its anniversary image of the Whirlpool Galaxy. In less than three minutes, 800 Hubble images flash over the screen, sometimes as fast as 60 pictures per second.See:HUBBLE Site Dialogos of Eide

  • Catching Black Holes on the Fly

    Black Holes Shine for NuSTAR Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA’s black-hole-hunter spacecraft, the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, has “bagged” its first 10 supermassive black holes. The mission, which has a mast the length of a school bus, is the first telescope capable of focusing the highest-energy X-ray light into detailed pictures. See: Catching Black…

  • How to Find Black holes with Lasers

    In February 2013 I was invited by the Institute of Physics to give a lecture in the famous lecture theatre of the Royal Institution of Great Britainas part of their Physics in Perspective series. I was to expect about 400 students and teachers from schools across the country. See: How to Find Black holes with…

  • What Dirac And Feynman Had in Common?

    “The adventure of our science of physics is a perpetual attempt to recognize that the different aspects of nature are really different aspects of the same thing” — Richard Feynman Should I be so bold to change the word in Feynman’s quote as to suggest that “perpetual” be changed to “perceptual?” Conceptually, to be able…

  • True North

    What is your true north? What does your bird look like? http://www.revivewithenergy.com If you find that you are confused on whether you are sensing the voice of intuition or the voice of ego, skip to 5 min 40 secs to get clarity on which it is. That is….if you want to skip the peacock story…

  • Re-thinking an Alien World?

    A distant super-Earth named “”55 Cancri e”” is wetter and weirder than astronomers thought possible. The discovery has researchers re-thinking the nature of alien worlds.  Visit http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/… Dialogos of Eide

  • How to Make a Neutrino Beam

    Hey why not get an animated view of the reasons how? It is from an Symmetry Magazine article on November of 2012. It is information worth remembering in the scheme of particle reductionism.. Neutrinos are elusive particles that are difficult to study, yet they may help explain some of the biggest mysteries of our universe.…
