The Preponderance of Life, Death and Me
2012 was life changing for me to say the least. There was no Mayan Apocalypse. There was no Mega CME that destroyed modern civilization. There was no zombie outbreak. My beloved father died in August and his mother followed him one month later. I did not expect this to have been so swift and so … Read more
Shining Light on the Double-Slit Experiment and Quantum Reality
Over the past few years, I’ve been increasingly consumed with the idea in quantum mechanics and also Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. I am fascinated with the idea that our subatomic particles can and indeed do exists in more than one place as once. Therefore, we exist in more than one place at once as well. This … Read more
The Holographic Principle and Is it Reality?
I was watching a fascinating documentary on Science Channel called “What Is Reality?” The show progressed and discussed Fermi Lab and the Tevatron. Atoms smashed together and in time we learned about The Standard Model of elementary particles as called “the particle zoo.” However, what shocked me and took me aback was the topic of … Read more
The Death Of Dark Flow? (via D.669: Neopallium 2.0)
Fascinating indeed. Along with dark matter and dark energy, "dark flow" has gotten some considerable press of recent years. In late Autumn of 2008, a research team led by NASA astronomer Alexander Kashlinsky observed that clusters of galaxies huge distances apart seemed to be attracted to the same empty region of the Universe: effectively flowing towards … Read more
Dark Flow – Attraction of a Mysterious Presence.
Much attention has been recently given to dark flow. We know that the universe is expanding in an ever accelerating rate. We know the expansion is in all directions. However, there exist galaxy super custers which are moving in a direction independent of the surrounding clusters. What force could exist that could attract such large … Read more
Dark Matter and Our Cosmic Web
I’ve always found it fascinating that dark matter has created a sort of scaffolding by which matter in the universe has formed around. Stars, galaxies, clusters and super clusters clump together and are held by this cosmic web. As the universe expands in an ever increasing rate due to dark energy, we see … Read more
The Possibly of Time Travel and The First Time Machine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects (or in some cases just information) backwards in time to some moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need … Read more
Michio Kaku – Escape to a Parallel Universe
big think: http://bigthink.com/ideas/18973 How might the universe end? Michio Kaku: Well, when we try to look at the whole universe itself – many people ask the question, “Well Professor, how do you know — how do you know that the universe is expanding? How do you know that it came from a big bang? How … Read more
Quantum Entanglement – “Spooky Action at a Distance”
What is Quantum Entanglement? http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-entangle/ Quantum Entanglement and Information Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, associated with the peculiar nonclassical correlations that are possible between separated quantum systems. Entanglement can be measured, transformed, and purified. A pair of quantum systems in an entangled state can be used as a quantum information channel to … Read more
