The Bolshoi simulation

Posted on July 6, 2012 by PlatoHagel

A virtual world?  The more complex the data base the more accurate one’s simulation is achieved. The point is though that you have to capture scientific processes through calorimeter examinations just as you do in the LHC. So these backdrops … Continue reading →

NASA’s Fermi Catches Thunderstorms Hurling Antimatter into Space

Posted on March 11, 2011 by PlatoHagel

How thunderstorms launch particle beams into space Scientists using NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected beams of antimatter produced above thunderstorms on Earth, a phenomenon never seen before. Scientists think the antimatter particles were formed in a terrestrial gamma-ray … Continue reading →

Fermi Records Lighthouse Effect

Posted on October 29, 2009 by PlatoHagel

John Keats talked of “unweaving the rainbow”, suggesting that Newton destroyed the beauty of nature by analysing light with a prism and splitting it into different colours. Keats was being a prat. Physicists also smile when we see rainbows, but … Continue reading →

We are , What Stars are Made of?

Posted on December 29, 2008 by PlatoHagel

One thing I can tell you, though, is that most string theorist’s suspect that spacetime is a emergent Phenomena in the language of condensed matter physics Edward Witten Imagine indeed, that such a picture below is an approximate of how … Continue reading →
