Hubble Maps the Cosmic Web of "Clumpy" Dark Matter in 3-D
Three-Dimensional Distribution of Dark Matter in the Universe This three-dimensional map offers a first look at the web-like large-scale distribution of dark matter, an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the universe’s mass. This milestone takes astronomers from inference to direct observation of dark matter’s influence in the universe. Because of the…

Wolf-Rayet star
While I have started off with the definition of the Wolf-Rayet star, the post ends in understanding the aspects of gravity and it’s affects, as we look at what has become of these Wolf-Rayet stars in their desimination of it’s constituent properties. Similar, “in my thinking” to the expansion of our universe? Artist’s impression of…

Central Theme is the Sun
A lot of times people do not understand the effects something can have and after we see these effects, we wonder how did we ever miss the importance of what layed underneath this process in Physics. Richard Feynman-Dancing With Neutrinos-Nova Much as we looked at the stars above, the views became much clearer with hubble…

From Modelling to Experimentation?
Moving to higher energies, the expected fluxes of neutrinos become smaller, that even a cubic kilometer detector is not able to detect them. Larger volumes can be achieved by replacing optical sensors by acoustic detection. The reason is that acoustic waves can propagate over larger distances than light and allow wide spacing of detectors, and…

Nobel Prize in Physics goes too?
AP George F. Smoot, physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California, (l), and John C. Mather, physicist at NASA Goddard Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar Physics, (r), joint winners of 2006 Nobel Prize for Physics. Oct. 3 – Americans John C. Mather and George F. Smoot won the 2006 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday…

Dark Matter Discovery Announced by Nasa
Q relayed some information between B and Sean, so I thought I would follow up. One thing that is forefront of my mind here, is lensing, and how photonic expression of the event is govern by the inclinations of gravity. Held to the event. Evidence of this event is then “scattered” throughout the universe? So…

High Energy Particle Creations: PLacing the Universe into Perspective?
“String theory and other possibilities can distort the relative numbers of ‘down’ and ‘up’ neutrinos,” said Jonathan Feng, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UC Irvine. “For example, extra dimensions may cause neutrinos to create microscopic black holes, which instantly evaporate and create spectacular showers of particles in the Earth’s atmosphere…

Pulsars and Cerenkov Radiation
Of course, I could be mistaken making such assumptions. Scientists May Soon Have Evidence for Exotic Predictions of String Theoryissued by Northeaster University “String theory and other possibilities can distort the relative numbers of ‘down’ and ‘up’ neutrinos,” said Jonathan Feng, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UC Irvine. “For example,…

How Particles Came to be?
The First Few Microseconds, by Michael Riordan and Willaim A. Zajc For the past five years, hundreds of scientists have been using a powerful new atom smasher at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island to mimic conditions that existed at the birth of the universe. Called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, pronounced “rick”), it…
