• Physicists Discover How to Entangle at High Temperatures

    While I do not just like to echo in the world of information it is important to me to see how we can use entanglement to give us information about quantum gravity. Is it possible? Entanglement is the weird quantum process in which two objects share the same existence. So a measurement on one object…

  • Macroscopic Similarities in a Microscopic World

    Berkeley Lab Technology Dramatically Speeds Up Searches of Large DatabasesJon Bashor In the world of physics, one of the most elusive events is the creation and detection of “quark-gluon plasma,” the theorized atomic outcome of the “Big Bang” which could provide insight into the origins of the universe. By using experiments that involve millions of…

  • Pushing Back Time

    Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/PSU/S.Park & D.Burrows.; Optical: NASA/STScI/CfA/P.Challis February 24, 2007 marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most spectacular events observed by astronomers in modern times, Supernova 1987A. The destruction of a massive star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby galaxy, spawned detailed observations by many different telescopes, including NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory…

  • 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…

  • SuperFluids

    MIT physicists create new form of matter by Lori Valigra, Special to MIT News Office June 22, 2005 A superfluid gas can flow without resistance. It can be clearly distinguished from a normal gas when it is rotated. A normal gas rotates like an ordinary object, but a superfluid can only rotate when it forms…

  • Polar Flips

    Sometimes it is necessary to see the deep impact a thought could have as we try to understand the implications of a “sphere dropped in a viscously liquid” that we might find another correlation in how we see the photon affected in the gravitational field. Can we grasped the feeling illicitated to say we have…

  • Relativistic Fluid Dynamics

    The Navier-Stokes equations A bubble is a minimal-energy surface The Navier-Stokes equations, named after Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes, are a set of equations that describe the motion of fluid substances such as liquids and gases. These equations establish that changes in momentum in infinitesimal volumes of fluid are simply the product of changes…

  • 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…
