  • Euclid

      Euclid’s Geometry Lesson  in The School of Athens   Maybe you can identify the section from which this picture is taken from. The picture seen in the Fresco painted by Raphael, is entitled the School of Athens in  heading above?:)   All those who have written histories bring to this point their account of…

  • The Commissioning of the ATLAS

    Atlas Experiment :Tile Calorimeter Barrel The commissioning of the ATLAS detector with physics data started more than three years ago with cosmic rays. This has enabled us to put in place the full operation chain, from the trigger and data acquisition up to the analysis all over the world. Thanks to this intense commissioning campaign,…

  • NuStar: Blackhole Hunter

    NuSTAR is opening a new window on the Universe by being the first satellite to focus high-energy X-rays into sharp images. NuSTAR’s high-energy X-rays eyes see with more than 100 times the sensitivity of previous missions that have operated in this part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and with 10 times better resolution. NuSTAR sheds light…

  • Will Quantum Gravity Get Us to the Stars?

    The Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) 2nd International Conference in Ponta Delgada, Azores. July 7-12, 2009. Topics include cosmology, astrophysics, gravity, quantum gravity, quantum theory, and high-energy physics. http://www.fqxi.org/ The Meduso-Anthropic Principle is a speculative theory by Louis Crane (1994). The theory develops Cosmological natural selection by leading cosmologist, Lee Smolin and suggests the development of…

  • Lee Smolin: Cosmological Natural Selection

    Which leads to a prediction or an observation that after many, many generations the population of the universes should be fine-tuned to maximize the production of Black Holes. And that has further implications for things that we can actually try to measure and disprove experimentally. So that’s, very briefly, the idea of cosmological natural selection.…

  • The Interspecies Internet

    The Interspecies Internet: An Idea in Progress……Posted by Alexandra Manoliu What kind of technologies will have to be developed for such a process to unfold. I find this to be an interesting angle with which we may approach the question of how alien contact would and could immediately be responded too. Is it True: Are…

  • ScienceCasts: The Sound of Earthsong

    A NASA spacecraft has recorded eerie-sounding radio emissions coming from our own planet. These beautiful “songs of Earth” could, ironically, be responsible for the proliferation of deadly electrons in the Van Allen Belts.   EARTH: If you’re squeamish, you may not want to listen to the strange whistle of ultra-cold liquid helium-3 that changes volume…

  • Information Loss

    You see, people are uncomfortable with this information loss. It’s the minority view.Pg 64, The Cyclic Universe: A Conversation with Roger Penrose I am certainly uncomfortable with it, as I have always seen it from the idea  as to what is current in the field of discussion around blackholes and such. So there are things…
