The Sound The Universe Makes
As most know who have come to visit here at this Blog site, my fascination with the ways in which “sensationally” and internally one might look at the universe. So of course as long as the science is there in terms of how we are interpreting events. Then, using the underlying mechanism of that interpretation, …

Are There Extra Dimensions of Space?
Are there Extra Dimensions of Space? A QGP is formed at the collision point of two relativistically accelerated gold ions in the center of the STAR detector at the relativistic heavy ion collider at the Brookhaven national laboratory. Some of these issues in relation to the LHC are what I tried to explain to Searosa.…

Keeping it Real
The first results on supersymmetry from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been analysed by physicists and some are suggesting that the theory may be in trouble. Data from proton collisions in both the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) and ATLAS experiments have shown no evidence for supersymmetric particles – or sparticles – that are predicted…

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)…

2010 ion run: completed!
First direct observation of jet quenching. At the recent seminar, the LHC’s dedicated heavy-ion experiment, ALICE, confirmed that QGP behaves like an ideal liquid, a phenomenon earlier observed at the US Brookhaven Laboratory’s RHIC facility. This question was indeed one of the main points of this first phase of data analysis, which also included the…

QGP Research Advances
“We can say that the system definitely flows like a liquid,” says Harris. One of the first lead-ion collisions in the LHC as recorded by the ATLAS experiment on November 8, 2010.

Article From New York Times and More
Brookhaven National Laboratory HOT A computer rendition of 4-trillion-degree Celsius quark-gluon plasma created in a demonstration of what scientists suspect shaped cosmic history. In Brookhaven Collider, Scientists Briefly Break a Law of Nature The Brookhaven scientists and their colleagues discussed their latest results from RHIC in talks and a news conference at a meeting of…

So what about the Missing Energy?
“Death, so called, is but older matter dressedIn some new form. And in a varied vest,From tenement to tenement though tossed,The soul is still the same, the figure only lost.” Poem on Pythagoras, Dryden’s Ovid. It is unfortunate to have endured the constant flutter of disbelief(cry of pseudoscience) as to what is possible in a…

Bringing the Heavens Down to Earth
“We all are of the citizens of the Sky” Camille Flammarion The Flammarion woodcut. Flammarion’s caption translates to “A medieval missionary tells that he has found the point where heaven and Earth meet…” The widely circulated woodcut of a man poking his head through the firmament of a flat Earth to view the mechanics of…
