  • Cassiopeia A

    In conclusion, we have a rich panorama of experiments that all make use of neutrinos as probes of exotic phenomena as well as processes which we have to measure better to gain understanding of fundamental physics as well as gather information about the universe.

  • Linking Experiments

    Illustration: Sandbox Studio   The first round of physics Nine proposals are under consideration for the initial suite of physics experiments at DUSEL, and scientists have received $21 million in NSF funding to refine them. The proposals cover four areas of research: What is the nature of dark matter? (Proposals for LZ3, COUPP, GEODM, and…

  • SuperCDMS An Improvement on Detection

    So far no WIMP interaction has been observed, so the sensitivity needs to be improved further. This will be achieved by increasing the total detector mass (and with this the probability that a WIMP interacts in the detector) and at the same time reducing the background and improving the discrimination power. This effort started in…

  • Permanence of Fact in Literature

    John Updike in 1955. John Hoyer Updike (18 March 1932 – 27 January 2009) was an American novelist, poet, short story writer, art critic, and literary critic. Updike’s most famous work is his Rabbit series (Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit Is Rich; Rabbit At Rest; and Rabbit Remembered). Both Rabbit is Rich and Rabbit at…

  • New Technological Freedoms in the Libraries.

    Commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred.Ralph Waldo Emerson Trinity College Library, Dublin. (Photo: Candida Höfer.) See:In today’s Media, Has the Soul taken a Hiatus Don’t worry Mr. Chimpanzee, I wasn’t invited either to Science’s World View.:) Identifying niche markets? Oh, google will love you?:)…

  • Spherical Cows

    Cartoon Model of a SNR(Supernova Remnants) When scientists refer to a spherical cow, we are poking fun at ourselves. We are admitting that some of our models or descriptions of things are far more simple than the actual object, like to say that a cow has a spherical shape. The phenomena we study are often…

  • The CrossOver Point within the Perfect Fluid?

    I had been following this research because of what I had been trying to understand when we take our understanding down to a certain level. That level is within the context of us probing the collision process for evidence of “some new physics” that we had not seen before. Evidence for Neutrino Oscillations from the…

  • The Sun’s Before Us

    The Cosmic Ray of Creation We are “shadows” of the Sun’s creations. Sometimes it good to go back to “the beginning” so that one can see the context of what exists in reality, has a much “greater story to tell” then what we of the real world live under. Those of science, have been focused…

  • Doppelgänger Favors Oscillate

    “Observations always involve theory.”Edwin Hubble Of course I relate the “Ghost Particle to Pauli” here so that people would recognize the faint discerning image in “mirror world,” as some calculation that paved the way for some future spoken from Feynman’s point of view, to John Bahcall. Imagine what began as a theory/concept/idea, could have brought…

  • 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…

  • It’s Alive: Cosmic Ray Recordings

    I was doing some visiting around to see what Jacque Distler was doing and of course some blog entries are more dear to the heart, when you have followed the history and found correlative statements that bring the subject home for consideration. Jacque Distler: Travis Stewart reports that the LHC’s ATLAS detector has seen cosmic…
