  • Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector

    Scanning results tau decays New results from OPERA on neutrino propertieslive from Main Amphitheatre. “This result comes as a complete surprise,” said OPERA spokesperson, Antonio Ereditato of the University of Bern. “After many months of studies and cross checks we have not found any instrumental effect that could explain the result of the measurement. While…

    Even the famous helium-3, which can flow out of a container via capillary forces, does not count as a perfect fluid.What black holes teach about strongly coupled particles by Clifford V. Johnson and Peter Steinberg….May of Last Year. If helium-3 is used in cooling energy containment and was to be considered within LHC, wouldn’t such…

  • Space Travel and Propulsion Methods

    As a layman, my interest has been mainly focused on gravity and a means to defy it. How one can see in different ways. The Lagrange Points In the above contour plot we see that L4 and L5 correspond to hilltops and L1, L2 and L3 correspond to saddles (i.e. points where the potential is…

  • The Cross Over Point and Time Travel

    One of the issues that is evoked by any faster-than-light transport is time paradoxes: causality violations and implications of time travel. As if the faster than light issue wasn’t tough enough, it is possible to construct elaborate scenarios where faster-than-light travel results in time travel. Time travel is considered far more impossible than light travel.…

  • Oh Dear!… How Technology has Changed Things

    Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beautya beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit…

  • The Plane of Simultaneity

    This blog entry was constructed to reply to the conversation that is going on in the issue of the “Block Universe.” See: Penrose and Quanglement Entanglement and the New Physics In the past, teleportation has only been possible with particles of light Image: Rainer Blatt It’s useless sometimes to just lay there while these thoughts…

  • Images of Super-Kamiokande events from tscan

    The Navier-Stokes equations are also of great interest in a purely mathematical sense. Somewhat surprisingly, given their wide range of practical uses, mathematicians have yet to prove that in three dimensions solutions always exist (existence), or that if they do exist they do not contain any infinities, singularities or discontinuities (smoothness). These are called the…
