"Lego Block" Galaxies in Early Universe
Witten: 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. n this image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, several objects are identified as the faintest, most compact galaxies ever observed in the distant universe. They are so…

The Physics of Mind
It might be that the laws change absolutely with time; that gravity for instance varies with time and that this inverse square law has a strength which depends on how long it is since the beginning of time. In other words, it’s possible that in the future we’ll have more understanding of everything and physics…

NASA’s Hubble Telescope Celebrates SN 1987A’s 20th Anniversary
A String of ‘Cosmic Pearls’ Surrounds an Exploding Star-NASA, ESA, P. Challis, and R. Kirshner (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) Twenty years ago, astronomers witnessed one of the brightest stellar explosions in more than 400 years. The titanic supernova, called SN 1987A, blazed with the power of 100 million suns for several months following its discovery…

Angels and Demons on a Pinhead
“Observations always involve theory.”Edwin Hubble Curvature Parameters Of course I had to point to the cosmological understanding that took us to this “geometrical understanding of things that are large.” But this is to be short, while I crunch the thoughts of the process to the pinhead. You can follow the “picture links” and learn more…

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…

The Geometrics Behind the Supernova and it’s History
It is not always easy for people to see what lies behind the wonderful beauty of images that we take from the satellite measures of space, and it’s dynamical events illustrated in Cassiopeia A. There before you is this majestic image of beauty, as we wonder about it’s dynamics. These Spitzer Space Telescope images, taken…

Hubble Finds Evidence for Dark Energy in the Young Universe
I had to go back to the article for some further reading. These snapshots, taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, reveal five supernovae, or exploding stars, and their host galaxies. The arrows in the top row of images point to the supernovae. The bottom row shows the host galaxies before or after the stars exploded.…

Three Ring Circus: Dark Energy
“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 underneath the complexity of these equations a schematic drawing of reality is unfolding? I think…

Discovering the Quantum Universe
Credit: Jean-Francois Colonna Superstrings: A computer’s graphical representation of multi-dimensional spacetime —————————————————– Right now is a time of radical change in particle physics. Recent experimental evidence demands a revolutionary new vision of the universe. Discoveries are at hand that will stretch the imagination with new forms of matter, new forces of nature, new dimensions of…

Back to the Beginning of Time
While some of us who had been engaged in a little prehistory examination of earliest QGP states as glast determination of high energy photons, the question, “to Be or not to be,” how could we not ask what Professor Susskind offered up for examination under the title, “the elephant and the event horizon?” What happens…
