Hubble Maps the Cosmic Web of "Clumpy" Dark Matter in 3-D

Posted on January 8, 2007 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

First Stars Behind the Scene

Posted on December 28, 2006 by PlatoHagel

There are several recognized processes from the early universe that leave relic effects setting the stage for galaxy formation and evolution. We deal here with the first generarion of stars, primordial nucleosynthesis, the epoch of recombination, and the thermal history … Continue reading →

Cosmic ray spallation

Posted on December 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As this NASA chart indicates, 70 percent or more of the universe consists of dark energy, about which we know next to nothing Other explanations of dark energy, called “quintessence,” originate from theoretical high-energy physics. In addition to baryons, photons, … Continue reading →

Three Ring Circus: Dark Energy

Posted on November 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“Observations always involve theory.”Edwin Hubble Hopefully some day, I will be accepted as a student of this universe, and it’s intrigue? Sometimes it is necessary to understand that having come to different consclusion about the geometry of this universe that … Continue reading →

What is Dark Matter/Energy?

Posted on November 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

When Chaos Goes Quantum? All events shown here (except KEK test detector) were generated by Monte-Carlo simulation program, written by Clark. The visualizing software which produced the detector images was written by Tomasz. While the sun was easily recognizable building … Continue reading →

The Cosmic Connection to Climate

Posted on November 9, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Cars and industrial activity contribute to the 7 gigatons of carbon dioxide released each year into the atmosphere.Credits: EuroNews Some thoughts about this were being contemplates as I was slowly awaking this morning. I was actually thinking of one more … Continue reading →

Central Theme is the Sun

Posted on October 19, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Clifford and The Singularity

Posted on July 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Horatiu is referring to a mathematical similarity between the physics of the real world, which govern RHIC collisions, and the physics that scientists use to describe a theoretical, “imaginary” black hole in a hypothetical world with a different number of … Continue reading →

More on Dual Nature of Blackhole

Posted on February 21, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In some theories, microscopic black holes may be produced in particle collisions that occur when very-high-energy cosmic rays hit particles in our atmosphere. These mini-black-holes would decay into ordinary particles in a tiny fraction of a second and would be … Continue reading →
