• Cosmic ray spallation

    As this NASA chart indicates, 70 percent or more of the universe consists of dark energy, about which we know next to nothing Other explanations of dark energy, called “quintessence,” originate from theoretical high-energy physics. In addition to baryons, photons, neutrinos, and cold dark matter, quintessence posits a fifth kind of matter (hence the name),…

  • Tunnelling in Faster then Light

    Underneath this speculation of mine is the geometrical inclination of the universe in expression. If it’s “dynamical nature is revealed” what allows us to think of why this universe at this time and junction, should be flat(?) according to the time of this universe in expression? Omega=the actual density to the critical density If we…

  • Beyond Spacetime?

    As well as bringing the accelerator’s counter-rotating beams together, LHC insertion magnets also have to separate them after collision. This is the job of dedicated separators, and the US Brookhaven Laboratory is developing superconducting magnets for this purpose. Brookhaven is drawing on its experience of building the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), which like the…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • What Comes Next?

    What Lies Beneath, by Eugene Samuel Likewise, if the very fabric of the Universe is in a quantum-critical state, then the “stuff” that underlies reality is totally irrelevant-it could be anything, says Laughlin. Even if the string theorists show that strings can give rise to the matter and natural laws we know, they won’t have…

  • Quantum Mechanics: Determinism at Planck Scale

    Perhaps Quantum Gravity can be Handled by thoroughly reconsidering Quantum Mechanics itself?– Gerard t’ Hooft Albert Einstein used harmonic oscillators to understand specific heats of solids and found that energy levels are quantized. This formed one of the key bridges between classical and quantum mechanics. Can harmonic oscillators serve as a bridge between quantum mechanics…

  • Coleman-De Luccia instanton

    IN what way could some consistent measure be thought of, that such conditions while recognized in the false vacuum, and, with conditions of high energy considerations, be realized into useful information surrounding this move to the true vacuum? It would have to be geometrically explained. Planck epoch in itself, makes this very hard to do,…

  • 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…

  • 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…
