A first look at the Earth interior from the Gran Sasso underground laboratory
The Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) is one of four INFN national laboratories. It is the largest underground laboratory in the world for experiments in particle physics, particle astrophysics and nuclear astrophysics. It is used as a worldwide facility by scientists, presently 750 in number, from 22 different countries, working at about 15 experiments in…

Mysterious Behavior of Neutrinos sent Straight through the Earth
This rendering depicts the future NOvA detector facility on the property. Rendering by Holabird & Root. The NOνA experiment, a collaboration of over 180 scientists from some 28 institutions, will be the world’s most advanced neutrino experiment. NOvA physicists will address the question “What happened to the antimatter in the universe?” The Department of Energy’s…

Permanence of Fact in Literature
John Updike in 1955. John Hoyer Updike (18 March 1932 – 27 January 2009) was an American novelist, poet, short story writer, art critic, and literary critic. Updike’s most famous work is his Rabbit series (Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit Is Rich; Rabbit At Rest; and Rabbit Remembered). Both Rabbit is Rich and Rabbit at…

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…

Radiactive Decay
Unit Circle Complex numbers can be identified with points in the Euclidean plane, namely the number a + bi is identified with the point (a, b). Under this identification, the unit circle is a group under multiplication, called the circle group. This group has important applications in mathematics and science. See here. Just briefly showing…

Collider Detector at Fermilab and Slac
Current evidence shows that neutrinos do oscillate, which indicates that neutrinos do have mass. The Los Alamos data revealed a muon anti-neutrino cross over to an electron neutrino. This type of oscillation is difficult to explain using only the three known types of neutrinos. Therefore, there might be a fourth neutrino, which is currently being…

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…

Result of Effective Changes in the Cosmos
“There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries have involved such a leap. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” Albert Einstein (1879- 1955) But the presence of an event horizon implies a finite Hawking temperature and the…
