• Andrea Rossi’s ‘E-cat’ nuclear reactor

    Andrea Rossi’s ‘E-cat’ nuclear reactor: a video FAQ Now I am a layman with a keen interest in how our society can benefit from research and development.  Can you save me from being fooled? Can you save society from being fooled?  As a scientist please demonstrate your opinion as to the viability of such generation…

  • ἁπτικός-Momentum, as a Tactile Experience?

    The value of non-Euclidean geometry lies in its ability to liberate us from preconceived ideas in preparation for the time when exploration of physical laws might demand some geometry other than the Euclidean. Bernhard Riemann See Water in Zero Gravity, by Backreaction  Is it possible for us to get this “sense of being” without understanding…

  • Atlas Experiment

    Link on Title and internal “color reference links” will highlight links to subject locations. Well worth the visit.  The ATLAS detector consists of four major components (place your cursor over the links below to identify the location of the components): inner detector (yellow) – measures the momentum of each charged particle calorimeter (orange and green)…

  • Solar Dynamics Observatory

    SpaceCraft The total mass of SDO at launch was 3000 kg (6620 lb); instruments 300 kg (660 lb), spacecraft 1300 kg (2870 lb), and fuel 1400 kg (3090 lb). Its overall length along the sun-pointing axis is 4.5 m, and each side is 2.22 m. The span of the extended solar panels is 6.25 m.…

  • Sound Shaping our Views of the Universe?

    The Sound of Gravitational Waves We can’t actually hear gravitational waves, even with the most sophisticated equipment, because the sounds they make are the wrong frequency for our ears to hear. This is similar in principle to the frequency of dog whistles that canines can hear, but that are too high for humans. The sounds…

  • The Perfect Sphere

    Before I begin I had to mention the following two entries below that I wanted to do but was short on time. This recording was produced by converting into audible sounds some of the radar echoes received by Huygens during the last few kilometres of its descent onto Titan. As the probe approaches the ground,…

  • GRand Quantum Conjecture

    My continued looked into the “fluids dynamics” had me wonder about the superfluid anomalies. How would the “sphere look” if it collapsed and allowed information to travel through it, based on what has been given here for perspective, when the “state of equillibrum” is arrived at? In regards to 3, let’s just say the assumption…

  • Writing Your Story of Creation?

    “No container is available, and the vaporization must occur in vacuum.” Wozniak With all that energy concentrated in a space about the size of an atomic nucleus, the colliding ions, for a tiny fraction of a second, will reach a temperature one hundred thousand times hotter than the core of the sun – hot enough…

  • Sonofusion Analogies in Geometric design?

    Every picture held in mind is a link to other pictures? The larger context of the universe, is now seen in how our minds evolving such a reality through such thought constructs( it’s bits and pieces) that it is not just words and equations any more, but the understanding that this picture can includes more…

  • The Singing Bowl

    One harmonious possibility is that string enthusiasts and loop quantum gravity aficionados are actually constructing the same theory, but from vastly different starting points-Page 490, Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene What would such gravitons in the bulk concentration mean, to those whose value might have seen sound expressed, as low and rumbling, while…

  • The Z Machine

    There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world.— Nikolai Lobachevsky Sandia’s Z machine exceeds two billion degrees Kelvin Z’s energies in these experiments raised several questions. First, the radiated x-ray output was as much as four times the expected kinetic energy input.…
