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…

Sound Shaping our Views of the Universe?
The Sound of Gravitational Waves We can’t actually hear gravitational waves, even with the most sophisticated equipment, because the sounds they make are the wrong frequency for our ears to hear. This is similar in principle to the frequency of dog whistles that canines can hear, but that are too high for humans. The sounds…

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…

What holes?
Steven Weinberg visiting the ATLAS cavern accompanied by Peter Jenni see: Steven Weinberg visits CERN So the understanding “is” that as Steven portrays as been spoken of before by Clifford or by associates in proximity, that his views reveal the status from which the top down has located this experimental validation as to what is…

What Good are Mathematics in the Real World?
Came across this article at Clifford of Asymptotia blog( doesn’t this have an “ole English sound” to it?:). Clifford writes: The first article? It’s a discussion of some of the things I’ve been telling you about in recent times. Applications of string theory to various pieces of physics in a wider realm of physics than…

The Cross Over Point and Time Travel
One of the issues that is evoked by any faster-than-light transport is time paradoxes: causality violations and implications of time travel. As if the faster than light issue wasn’t tough enough, it is possible to construct elaborate scenarios where faster-than-light travel results in time travel. Time travel is considered far more impossible than light travel.…

Thoughts on Angel and Demons Plot
“For me, the most attractive way … would be to capture the antihydrogen in a neutral particle trap … The objective would be to then study the properties of a small number of [antihydrogen] atoms confined in the neutral trap for a long time.“Gerald Gabrielse, 1986 Erice Lecture (shortly after first trapping of antiprotons)“Penning Traps,…

The Pringles Potato Chip
….a higher dimensional version of the Pringle’s potato chip. Brian Greene, The Fabric of the Cosmos, pg 483, Para 2, line 29 Again I try remind good scientists that I have nothing to offer other then trying to keep pace with their thinking, and to find myself in world’s of abstraction that I really find…

SuperCritical Fluid
What choice do I have but to quote myself.:) At 11:47 AM, January 09, 2009, Blogger Plato said… Superfluous is a mathematical construct for sure. Continuity, asked not from the condense matter theorist point of view as Jacque’s remind, or, as Susskind speaks of Laughlin( was Susskind ever aware of Witten’s statements?) Edward WittenEdward Witten’s…

Is the LHC Leaking Energy?
This is not to bring “the doom and gloom of micro blackhole creation” into the picture although I do see that the QGP arrived at can bring other perspectives forward, that would relegate questions to my mind. For instance. So to be clear then, the QGP is relativistic. This I understood already. This to me…

The Extra Dimensions in the LHC
String Theorists, for a million bucks, do you think you can answer “the question” and it’s applicability? Now it should be clear here that while I speak of extra dimensions I am referring to that energy that is not accountable, “after the collision process and particle identifications have been calculated.” For the first time the…
