  • How Particles Came to be?

    The First Few Microseconds, by Michael Riordan and Willaim A. Zajc For the past five years, hundreds of scientists have been using a powerful new atom smasher at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island to mimic conditions that existed at the birth of the universe. Called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, pronounced “rick”), it…

  • Why Higher Energies?

    I guess I don’t have to tell anyone how confusing all this stuff is and the need for a consistent picture to arise out of it. New physics beyond the standard model of particle physics and parallel universes by Rainer Plaga top-quark masses – for which the standard model predicts such a decay – cannot…

  • History of the Universe and the Standard Model

    Who would of thought the history of the universe could have ever been contained in this one moment? While it had been translated to 13.7 billions years, what is the value of recognizing this vast history, to what is contained in that one specific moment held in context of the collisions, we have in the…

  • More on Dual Nature of Blackhole

    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 very difficult to observe in our atmosphere. The ATLAS Experiment offers the exciting possibility to…

  • History of the Superfluid: New Physics

    Nice Picture above. It is really confusing for me sometimes so I have to revisit the set up, to make sure I have things slotted to the way it is being used to penetrate reductionistic views, that help us understand the new physics that emerges from Gold Ion collisions. So what is a color glass…

  • Evidence for Extra Dimensions and IceCube

    …the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed. Albert Einstein Sometimes if we paid attention enough, the neurons seem to fire appropriately and the detachment of the ideas seemingly distant from one another, become illuminated and connected? Imagine…

  • Being Informed On things One might of Missed

    Some links and slides given by Dr. Nick Evan. Clifford of Cosmic Variance relayed this information in a titled post called, “Return to the Fold“ Every model assumption has to involve the understanding of all “science processes.” “If” any of these processes are missed, then the assumptions that we move from, to those speculations beyond…

  • Cosmic Rays Collisions and Strangelets Produced?

    I like to think of Enlightenment in another way Jaffe:) While we had focused our attention on the airs about the earth, how would it been possible for us earthlings to push back the limitations on on our views that we could have seen cosmological data in context of all that we do in the…

  • Quark Stars

    Quark stars signal unstable universe By William J. Cromie Gazette Staff In orbit around Earth, a satellite called the Chandra X-ray Observatory surveys the universe for sources of X-rays, which come from hot, active places. Such places include neutron stars, the still energetic corpses of burnt out stars once more massive than the Sun. When…

  • Strangelets in Cosmic Considerations

    In accretion disks how would this counter intuitive recognition of the Jet have been incorporated into what could have been ejected as anti-matter creation? Doing the Bose Nova maybe? Killer plasma ready to devour the Earth Reports by Robert Uhlig David Derbyshire and Roger Highfield(Filed: 07/09/2001) By colliding gold nuclei at huge energies, the RHIC…
