  • The Old Wise Man

    This post is materializing because of a post written by a Don McLeod on a article written at NPR 13.7 Cosmos and Culture called, “ Facing Cancer, With A Robot Surgeon By My Side, by  Barbara J. King. Don McLeod writes, When I had cancer it appeared in my dreams as a bear.This probably sounds…

  • Glowing Blackholes

    (Courtesy: NASA E/PO, Sonoma State University, Aurore Simonnet) The birth of a black hole may be signalled by a characteristic cosmic flash, according to researchers in the US. It was previously thought that only the most massive of black holes would produce gamma-ray bursts – narrow beams of electromagnetic radiation that shoot out of the…

  • A Visual Correlation to Symmetry Breaking

    “Symmetry breaking illustrated”: – At high energy levels (left) the ball settles in the center, and the result is symmetrical. At lower energy levels (right), the overall “rules” remain symmetrical, but the “Mexican hat” potential comes into effect: “local” symmetry inevitably becomes broken since eventually the ball must roll one way (at random) and not…

  • What is the Soul?

    In Culture:The Ancient Greek word for “butterfly” is ψυχή (psȳchē), which primarily means “soul”, “mind” This is quite a challenge in a way. Polish-American scientist and philosopher Alfred Korzybski remarked that “the map is not the territory”, encapsulating his view that an abstraction derived from something, or a reaction to it, is not the thing…

  • The Blackhole Hunt is On

    Published on May 30, 2012  See: NuSTAR to Hunt for Black Holes NuSTAR NASA contracted with Orbital Sciences Corporation to launch NuSTAR (mass 772 pounds (350 kg))[11] on a Pegasus XL rocket for 21 March 2012.[5] It had earlier been planned for 15 August 2011, 3 February 2012, 16 March 2012, and 14 March 2012.[12] After…

  • The LIGO and Virgo Gravitational-Wave Detectors

    An artist’s impression of two stars orbiting each other (left). The orbit shrinks as the system emits gravitational waves (middle). When the stars merge (right), there is a resulting powerful emission of gravitational waves. [Image: NASA] The LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave detectors have been hunting for signals from the collisions of neutron stars and black…

  • GRB 130427A: Highest-energy Light Ever Detected

    The maps in this animation show how the sky looks at gamma-ray energies above 100 million electron volts (MeV) with a view centered on the north galactic pole. The first frame shows the sky during a three-hour interval prior to GRB 130427A. The second frame shows a three-hour interval starting 2.5 hours before the burst,…
