LHC: The Beam is Back
OCTOBER 26, 2009 CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is frosty and beaming, once again, after more than a year of repairs and testing that followed the eruptive escape of liquid helium into the tunnel that houses the massive supercollider [...]
Proving Uncertainty
SEPTEMBER 3, 2009
Dimensional solution for Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle:
The absolute position of a particle can be determined solely using 3D [...]
What is gravity made of ?
JUNE 9, 2009 I saw an interesting question on the Big Question blog tonight: [...]
Why the LHC won’t help us find the “god particle”
JUNE 8, 2009 [...] With respect to the Higgs Boson (the quantum particle thought to be responsible for giving atoms their mass) as well as with much respect to Dr. Higgs, I have a problem with the concept of a quantum “god particle”. My objection has nothing to do with the sacrilege of the name (offered by Leon Lederman in his 1993 popular science book), but rather the notion that one particular subatomic component can be responsible for all the mass of the unity to which it belongs. [...]
Hello? This is Us.
JUNE 7, 2009 Below is the plaque installed on the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 space probes launched in 1972 and 1973, respectively. It is intended to be an introduction to other intelligent life in the galaxy — should it eventually be collected by some deep space traveler…
Home Grown
JUNE 7, 2009 If you haven’t done so already, you should have a look at Neal Adams’ 2005 animation of the expansion of Earth over hundreds of millions of years…
Rising Stars
JUNE 5, 2009 This incredible video by William Castleman shows more than a few stars rising during the course of a Texas night. You can clearly see the bright, bushy centre of our Milky Way galaxy slide across the screen before the dawn comes…

On Gravity
JUNE 1, 2009 Three of its primary attributes… each in 10 Words or Less.
An Order of Pi on the (dark)Side
MAY 22, 2009 A quick revelation of the strange, unacknowledged relationship between darkEnergy (dE), darkMatter (dM) and Pi (π).
Remembering Lao
MAY 19, 2009 The ancient Chinese sage comments concisely on Quantum Non-Locality.
In 10 Words, or Less… The Big Bang:
MAY 18, 2009 That’s right, the Big Bang explained in ten words or less. A lot less.
In 10 Words, or Less… darkMatter:
MAY 17, 2009 The short answer to the riddle of the mysterious meta-material called darkMatter.
In 10 Words, or Less… Gravity Waves:
MAY 17, 2009 The reason why we can’t measure them.
In 10 Words, or Less… darkEnergy:
MAY 16, 2009 Ten words or less, but with a long explanation: When we look at very distant objects in space, the light that we see is always to some degree more “red” than it should be. That is to say, the wavelength of the light is longer than expected for the type of galaxy or quasar being observed.
A similar phenomenon occurs when a car drives by with its horn blaring…
Zero-Point Energy
MAY 15, 2009 The secret to zero point energy lies in using electromagnetic principles to “fool” the universe into believing that there is mass where there isn’t.
