The Fate of our Planet?
Clifford at cosmic variance addresses a fundamental question about the need(?) to populate other planets, versus exploring? Clifford: And it would be nice if we did the exploration primarily out of curiosity and wonder, and not out of fear for our future But of course, as with any thread there is a diversion of thought,…

Scott Ellsworth Forbush:Opportune Times for Experimentation?
Forbush Decrease Scott E. Forbush discovered the surprising inverse relationship between solar activity and cosmic rays There is some confusion still on my part as I wanted to understand the relationship between high energy particle and the conditions for which particle collisions would provide for secondary particle creations. See: How Particles Came to be? This…

Intuitively Compelling
While it does appear that Einstein has indeed given us a paradigm which was indeed world-changing and affected everyone, how well might he have known himself? He was “driven,” as to the” focus and outcome” of GR’s growth? Yet, being Jewish, and the meaning he might have had for God(Old ONe) had a perspective about…

Strangelets Do Not Exist?
I tried to follow the history as best I could, and the resulting worries earlier linked in extra links seen below, attest to the research that I followed. Can we safely say now, that strangelets do not exist? Quantum character of black holesby Adam D. Helfer Black holes are extreme manifestations of general relativity, so…

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…

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.…

A New Search Paradigm?
The collapsing star scenario that is one of the leading contenders as the cause of gamma-ray bursts. Dr. Stan Woosley of the University of California at Santa Cruz proposed the collapsar theory in 1993. This artist’s concept of the collapsar model shows the center of a dying star collapsing minutes before the star implodes and…

Have we seen (strange) quark matter?
Well the very idea that such a thing could exist, has been part of the evolving information I had been going through. To be lead to the understanding, of what new Physics would emerge fromm cosmological and collidial events. That there are indeed showers of particles with which such events will let us know cannot…

All Particles of the Standard Model and Beyond
Polchinski Elected Member Of National Academy of Sciences Polchinski’s discovery of D-branes and their properties is, according to the Academy citation, “one of the most important insights in 30 years of work on string theory.” Can I tell a little story before I head into the essence of this posted thread below? From one mechanic…

Big Bang:One Man’s Change of Heart
Thanks Paul One definitely needs some perspective around this and how such information is given. I refer here for consideration, about perspective, and how it can be exploited for further consideration on what is emitted, and what manifests in weak gravitational field measure, as neutrino effects(quantum gravity). Microperspective and methods of examination, raise the issue…
