  • What is AMS?

    General objectives:To collect precision cosmic ray data at high energies, including 10^10 protons; to discover or rule out certain particles as explanations for dark matter; to study cosmic ray propagation in the galaxy; to search for exotic particles or spectral features among cosmic rays See:AMS experiment mission overview The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Experiment AMS is…

  • Geoneutrinos

    Geoneutrinos, anti-electron neutrinos emanating from the earth, are expected to serve as a unique window into the interior of our planet, revealing information that is hidden from other probes. The left half of this image shows the production distribution for the geoneutrinos detected at KamLAND, and the right half shows the geologic structure. See First…

  • 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…

  • Blackhole evaporation: What’s New From the Subatomic-Sized Holes ?

    …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 See What is Cerenkov Radiation? We are being “politically correct” (a sociological observation) when we change the wording of the “microstate blackhole production” to “Sub Atomic Sized Holes?” To…

  • Strangelets and Strange Matter

    Of course I will point to some of the “inherent nature” that some scientists encounter as they develop the geometrical basis to “all the concepts could ever mean?” But first, “the journey.” If not fundamental, though, quark nuggets zipping around the galaxy would still be an amazing addition. And perhaps even more amazing, in the…

  • Monster of the Milky Way

    Lubos Motl, it does not have to be “ten billion souls” that we find of just one the same. How many scientists do you know that refer to Plato? If enough is captured as “part of the original,” then why not a view of what was the attempt to descibe “the very complex” of what…

  • "Lead by Physics," Faces the "Trouble With Physics"

    The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what the universe may have looked like in the first few moments after its creation. RHIC…

  • Are Strangelets Natural?

    Thus RHIC is in a certain sense a string theory testing machine, analyzing the formation and decay of dual black holes, and giving information about the black hole interior. It is important that you look at the date of this article following, and what has subsequently arisen from “then to now.” The title of this…

  • Emergence: A Point in Spacetime

    We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding out that we must learn a great deal more about ‘and’.” – Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) Foundational perspectives are important to me, and are part and parcel of a larger frame of thinking that…

  • Clifford and The Singularity

    Horatiu is referring to a mathematical similarity between the physics of the real world, which govern RHIC collisions, and the physics that scientists use to describe a theoretical, “imaginary” black hole in a hypothetical world with a different number of space-time dimensions (more than the four dimensions — three space directions and time — that…

  • The Right Spin for a Neutrino Superfluid

    So how does it pancake? Now it is always a interesting proposition that what is leading in perspective, is meet with immediate new information( I think of course here of Risk Assessment and the first topic dealing with the issue of strangelets.) So, as to clarify any leading perspective, while doing research, what comes of…
