<p style="text-align:justify;">Cosmic rays continue to puzzle scientists a century after the fast-moving particles were discovered.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Austrian scientist Victor Hess first cottoned on to the existence of <a href="http://www.space.com/15323-cosmic-ray-mystery-unsolved.html">cosmic rays</a> after a high-altitude balloon flight on Aug. 7, 1912. In the 100 years since, researchers have learned a lot about these highly energetic particles, which constantly bombard Earth from outer space. But important questions remain, including where exactly they come from.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Scientists got on the trail of cosmic rays in the 1780s, when French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb noticed that an electrically charged sphere spontaneously lost its charge. This seemed strange, because at the time scientists believed air to be an insulator rather than a conductor.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Further experiments demonstrated, however, that air becomes a conductor when its molecules are ionized — given a net positive or negative electrical charge — by interaction with charged particles or X-rays. [<a href="http://www.space.com/13760-monster-stars-spit-cosmic-rays-cygnus.html">Video: Monster Stars Spit Cosmic Rays</a>]</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The source of these particles baffled scientists, as experiments showed that objects were losing their charge even when shielded by large chunks of lead, which blocks X-rays and other radioactive sources.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">That&#8217;s where Hess&#8217; landmark 1912 <a href="http://www.space.com/16595-montgolfiers-first-balloon-flight.html">balloon flight</a> comes in. At an altitude of 17,400 feet (5,300 meters), he measured ionizing radiation levels about three times greater than those seen on the ground. Hess concluded that this radiation is penetrating Earth&#8217;s atmosphere from outer space, an insight that earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1936.</p>
<div id="ad_mid_article" style="text-align:justify;">// // Hess had discovered cosmic rays, charged subatomic particles that streak through space at nearly the speed of light. They&#8217;re thought to be atomic nuclei from the entire range of naturally occurring elements, though the vast majority appear to be protons (hydrogen nuclei).</div>
<p>The source of cosmic rays, however, has remained mysterious. Scientists aren&#8217;t sure which cosmic phenomena are accelerating the particles to their fantastic speeds.</p>
<p>&#8220;The universe is full of natural particle accelerators, as for example in <a href="http://www.space.com/11425-photos-supernovas-star-explosions.html">supernova explosions</a>, in binary star systems or in active galactic nuclei,&#8221; said Christian Stegmann, head of the German Electron Synchrotron research center (known by its German acronym, DESY) at Zeuthen, in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;So far, only 150 of these objects are known to us, and we have just an initial physical understanding of these fascinating systems,&#8221; Stegmann added.</p>
<p>DESY is helping to organize a symposium to mark the 100th anniversary of the discovery of cosmic rays. From Aug. 6-8, scientists from around the world will meet in Bad Saarow in the German state of Brandenburg, where Hess landed his balloon a century ago. They&#8217;ll present and discuss the latest research about the ultra-speedy particles — including ideas about how to unlock their long-held secrets.<!--more--></p>

<h4>Transit Of Venus</h4>
<p>This image provided by NASA shows the Solar Dynamic Observatory&#8217;s ultra-high-definition view of Venus, black dot at top center, passing in front of the sun on Tuesday, June 5, 2012. The next transit of Venus won&#8217;t be for another 105 years. (NASA/Solar Dynamic Observatory/AP)

<h4>Transit of Venus</h4>
<p>This image provided by NASA shows the image captured by Hinode on June 5, 2012 of the transit of Venus &#8212; the last instance of this rare phenomenon until 2117. Hinode is a joint JAXA/NASA mission to study the connections of the sun&#8217;s surface magnetism, primarily in and around sunspots. NASA&#8217;s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages Hinode. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass., is the lead U.S. investigator for the X-ray Telescope. (JAXA NASA/AP)
</li>

<h4>Stars Brewing in Cygnus X</h4>
<p>A bubbling cauldron of star birth is highlighted in this image from NASA&#8217;s Spitzer Space Telescope. Infrared light that we can&#8217;t see with our eyes has been color-coded, such that the shortest wavelengths are shown in blue and the longest in red. The middle wavelength range is green. Massive stars have blown bubbles, or cavities, in the dust and gas&#8211;a violent process that triggers both the death and birth of stars. The brightest, yellow-white regions are warm centers of star formation. The green shows tendrils of dust, and red indicates other types of dust that may be cooler, in addition to ionized gas from nearby massive stars.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Dusty Space Cloud</h4>
<p>This image shows the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy in infrared light as seen by the Herschel Space Observatory, a European Space Agency-led mission with important NASA contributions, and NASA&#8217;s Spitzer Space Telescope. In the instruments&#8217; combined data, this nearby dwarf galaxy looks like a fiery, circular explosion. Rather than fire, however, those ribbons are actually giant ripples of dust spanning tens or hundreds of light-years. Significant fields of star formation are noticeable in the center, just left of center and at right. The brightest center-left region is called 30 Doradus, or the Tarantula Nebula, for its appearance in visible light.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Dunes in Noachis Terra Region of Mars</h4>
<p>This enhanced-color image shows sand dunes trapped in an impact crater in Noachis Terra, Mars. Dunes and sand ripples of various shapes and sizes display the natural beauty created by physical processes. The area covered in the image is about six-tenths of a mile (1 kilometer) across. Sand dunes are among the most widespread wind-formed features on Mars. Their distribution and shapes are affected by changes in wind direction and wind strength. Patterns of dune erosion and deposition provide insight into the sedimentary history of the surrounding terrain.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Viewing the South Pole of Vesta</h4>
<p>This image obtained by the framing camera on NASA&#8217;s Dawn spacecraft shows the south pole of the giant asteroid Vesta. Scientists are discussing whether the circular structure that covers most of this image originated by a collision with another asteroid, or by internal processes early in the asteroid&#8217;s history. Images in higher resolution from Dawn&#8217;s lowered orbit might help answer that question. The image was recorded with the framing camera aboard NASA&#8217;s Dawn spacecraft from a distance of about 1,700 miles (2,700 kilometers). The image resolution is about 260 meters per pixel.
</li>
<li>
<h4>In, Around, Beyond Rings</h4>
<p>A quartet of Saturn&#8217;s moons, from tiny to huge, surround and are embedded within the planet&#8217;s rings in this Cassini composition. Saturn&#8217;s largest moon, Titan, is in the background of the image, and the moon&#8217;s north polar hood is clearly visible. See PIA08137 to learn more about that feature on Titan (3,200 miles, or 5,150 kilometers across). Next, the wispy terrain on the trailing hemisphere of Dione (698 miles, or 1,123 kilometers across) can be seen on that moon which appears just above the rings at the center of the image. See PIA10560 and PIA06163 to learn more about Dione&#8217;s wisps. Saturn&#8217;s small moon Pandora (50 miles, or 81 kilometers across) orbits beyond the rings on the right of the image. Finally, Pan (17 miles, or 28 kilometers across) can be seen in the Encke Gap of the A ring on the left of the image. The image was taken in visible blue light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 17, 2011. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometers) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 27 degrees. Image scale is 8 miles (13 kilometers) per pixel on Dione.

<h4>X-Ray image of Young Stars</h4>
<p>Combining almost opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum, this composite image of the Herschel in far-infrared and XMM-Newton&#8217;s X-ray images obtained January 20, 2012, shows how the hot young stars detected by the X-ray observations are sculpting and interacting with the surrounding ultra-cool gas and dust, which, at only a few degrees above absolute zero, is the critical material for star formation itself. Both wavelengths would be blocked by Earth&#8217;s atmosphere, so are critical to our understanding of the lifecycle of stars . (AFP / Getty Images)

<h4>Ring of Fire</h4>
<p>This composite image shows the central region of the spiral galaxy NGC 4151. X-rays (blue) from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are combined with optical data (yellow) showing positively charged hydrogen (H II) from observations with the 1-meter Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope on La Palma. The red ring shows neutral hydrogen detected by radio observations with the NSF&#8217;s Very Large Array. This neutral hydrogen is part of a structure near the center of NGC 4151 that has been distorted by gravitational interactions with the rest of the galaxy, and includes material falling towards the center of the galaxy. The yellow blobs around the red ellipse are regions where star formation has recently occurred. (NASA / CXC / CfA / J. Wang)

<h4></h4>
<p>An image released on October 3, 2011 show the  Antennae Galaxies (also known as NGC 4038 and 4039) are a pair of distorted colliding spiral galaxies about 70 million light-years away,  in the constellation of Corvus (The Crow). This view combines Atacama large milllimetre/submillimetre array (ALMA) observations, made in three different wavelength ranges during the observatory&#8217;s early testing phase, with visible-light observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Most of the ALMA test observations used to create this image were made using only twelve antennas working together &#8212; far fewer than will be used for the first science observations. The first phase of operations at the ALMA complex in Chile&#8217;s Atacama desert are underway on October 3, 2011 following ten years of construction. Alma&#8217;s purpose is to study processes occurring a few hundred million years after the formation of the Universe when the first stars began to shine. Alma consists of an array of linked giant antennas on top of the highest plateau in the Atacama desert. AFP PHOTO/ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO) (Photo credit should read -/AFP/Getty Images)

<h4>North America Nebula &#8212; Feb 16, 2011</h4>
<p>This view of the North America nebula combines both visible and infrared light observations, taken by the Digitized Sky Survey and NASA&#8217;s Spitzer Space Telescope, respectively, into a single vivid picture. The nebula is named after its resemblance to the North American continent in visible light, which in this image is represented in blue hues. Infrared light, displayed here in red and green, can penetrate deep into the dust, revealing multitudes of hidden stars and dusty clouds.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Arp 147 composite black holes &#8212; obtained Feb 15, 2011</h4>
<p>This composite image of Arp 147, a pair of interacting galaxies located about 430 million light-years from Earth, shows X-rays from the NASA&#8217;s Chandra X-ray Observatory (pink) and optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope (red, green, blue) produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute. Arp 147 contains the remnant of a spiral galaxy, right, that collided with the elliptical galaxy on the left. This collision has produced an expanding wave of star formation that shows up as a blue ring containing an abundance of massive young stars. These stars race through their evolution in a few million years or less and explode as supernovas, leaving behind neutron stars and black holes.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Sun Eruptions &#8212; Jan. 28, 2011</h4>
<p>This still caught the action in freeze-frame splendor when the sun popped off two events at once. A filament, left, became unstable and erupted, while an M-1 flare and a coronal mass ejection, right, blasted into space. Neither event was headed toward Earth.
</li>
<li>
<h4>M51 &#8212; obtained Jan. 19, 2011</h4>
<p>This image shows a dramatic view of the spiral galaxy M51, dubbed the Whirlpool Galaxy. Seen in near-infrared light, most of the starlight has been removed, revealing the Whirlpool&#8217;s skeletal dust structure. This image is the sharpest view of the dense dust in M51. The narrow lanes of dust revealed by Hubble reflect the galaxy&#8217;s moniker, the Whirlpool Galaxy, as if they were swirling toward the galaxy&#8217;s core.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Giant Supernova &#8212; released on Jan. 14, 2011</h4>
<p>While searching the skies for black holes using NASA&#8217;s Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers discovered a giant supernova that was smothered in its own dust in this image released on Jan. 14. In this artist&#8217;s rendering, an outer shell of gas and dust &#8212; which erupted from the star hundreds of years ago &#8212; obscures the supernova within. This event in a distant galaxy hints at one possible future for the brightest star system in our own Milky Way.

<h4>The silhouette of the space shuttle Endeavour, Feb 9, 2010</h4>
<p>The silhouette of the space shuttle Endeavour appears over Earth&#8217;s colorful horizon in this image photographed by an Expedition 22 crew member on Feb. 9, 2010.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Mars&#8217; moons Phobos (large moon) and Deimos, released Dec. 11</h4>
<p>Mars&#8217; two moons have been photographed in the same frame for the first time. The European Space Agency&#8217;s Mars Express orbiter snapped this image, which was released Dec. 11, 2009. The larger moon is Phobos. The much smaller one is Deimos.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Hubble photo of new galaxies (Tuesday=Dec. 8, 2009)</h4>
<p>Scientists said Dec. 8, 2009, that the Hubble Space Telescope spotted several thousand never-before-seen galaxies that were formed 600 million years after the Big Bang. Here, a photo shows some of them. They appear in the image as the faintest and reddest objects.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Central Milky Way Galaxy; image released on Nov. 10, 2009</h4>
<p>This is one of the most detailed images to date of the heart of the Milky Way. The galaxy&#8217;s center is within the white spot near the right edge of the photo. NASA released the image Nov. 10 to mark the 400th anniversary of the telescope. It is a composite of images from three observatories: the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes and the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
</li>
<li>
<h4>NGC 2623, the result of a galactic collision, added Oct. 13</h4>
<p>This Hubble Space Telescope image shows an object known as both NGC 2623 and Arp 243, which was formed by a collision of two galaxies. The galaxies&#8217; cores have merged into one; the tails streaming from the object are full of young stars. NGC 2623 is about 250 million light-years away in the constellation of Cancer.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Barnard&#8217;s Galaxy, added Oct. 15, 2009</h4>
<p>This portrait of Barnard&#8217;s Galaxy, one of the Milky Way&#8217;s closest neighbors, was taken by a telescope at the European Southern Observatory in La Silla, Chile. The red features in the photo are nebulae where new stars are being born. The galaxy has about 10 million stars; the Milky Way has an estimated 400 billion.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Saturn during equinox in August 2009</h4>
<p>The Cassini spacecraft became the first to photograph an equinox on Saturn, a 15-year event that took place Aug. 11. This photo is a composite of images that Cassini shot over eight hours. New equinox images of the planet show strange formations in its rings and suggest that in some places, the rings are much thicker than expected.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Shadows in Saturn&#8217;s A ring, August 2009</h4>
<p>Clumps of debris cast shadows that are visible in the middle of this image of Saturn&#8217;s A ring. The shadows suggest that the clumps are about 2,000 feet tall. Scientists have believed for years that the rings were about 30 feet thick, but based on the new images, scientists now think that they&#8217;re more than 2 miles deep in some spots. &#8220;Isn&#8217;t that the most outrageous thing you could imagine? It truly is like something out of science fiction,&#8221; said Carolyn Porco, leader of the Cassini imaging team.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Jupiter&#8217;s Scar, July 25, 2009</h4>
<p>A new photo released in July from the Hubble Space Telescope is the clearest yet of what astronomers are calling a scar on the surface of Jupiter. An object, possibly a comet, struck the planet recently, creating the strange dark patch. It happened on the 15th anniversary of another comet strike.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Kohoutek 4-55 nebula, photographed May 4, 2009</h4>
<p>This planetary nebula, named Kohoutek 4-55, was photographed May 4 by the Hubble Space Telescope&#8217;s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. The nebula, dubbed a &#8220;giant eye,&#8221; contains the outer layers of a red giant star that died. The camera, which is the size of a baby grand piano, has captured several memorable images since it was installed in 1993.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Black hole light show, added April 14</h4>
<p>In this sequence of photos released in April, a jet of gas spews from a massive black hole in the center of the M87 galaxy. The gas fades and brightens, with a peak that even outshines the galaxy&#8217;s core. The outburst is coming from a blob of matter, dubbed HST-1, and scientists are so far at a loss to explain its weird behavior.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Galaxy Triplet ARP 274, Added April 6</h4>
<p>This photo was snapped by the Hubble Space Telescope after winning a public competition to determine what the next space portrait should be. It shows Arp 274, a system of three galaxies &#8212; two larger ones on the right, and a smaller and less intact one on the far left.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Hubble pic of galaxy tug of war, story reported on March 3, 2009</h4>
<p>NASA&#8217;s Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of three galaxies playing a game of gravitational tug-of-war that could destroy one of them. The galaxies &#8212; NGC 7173, middle left, NGC 7174, middle right, and NGC 7176, lower right &#8212; are about 100 million light-years away. The photo was released March 3.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Red Rectangle nebula added Feb. 10, 2009</h4>
<p>Our solar system is in the middle of a cosmic dust storm, and some astronomers said they&#8217;ve zeroed in on the possible source: the Red Rectangle nebula, which is 2,300 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. A double star system there is spewing the dust, according to findings announced in February.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Galactic collision, Oct. 30, 2008</h4>
<p>After transmission problems on the Hubble Telescope weren fixed, NASA in October 2008 provided this undated photograph showing the aftermath of galaxies colliding. In the pair known as Arp 147, a reddish-colored galaxy has passed through an O-shaped galaxy glowing blue.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Mercury Volcanoes</h4>
<p>Photographs taken of Mercury by the spacecraft Messenger in January 2008 were analyzed in the journal Science seven months later. Images like the one above show that volcanic activity played a part in forming plains on the planet.
</li>
<li>
<h4>The Helix nebula</h4>
<p>Feel like you are being watched? This infrared image from NASA&#8217;s Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet notable for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye.
</li>
<li>
<h4>A death star galaxy</h4>
<p>Even galaxies get bullied. Here, a so-called &#8220;death star galaxy&#8221; blasts a nearby galaxy with a jet of energy. Scientists said that if this happened in the Milky Way, it would likely destroy all life on Earth.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Crab Nebula</h4>
<p>In 2005, NASA&#8217;s Hubble Telescope captured this image of the Crab Nebula, a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star&#8217;s supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers witnessed this violent event in 1054.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Two Satellites given to NASA</h4>
<p>US National Reconnaissance Office unexpectedly transferred control of two Hubble-quality satellites to NASA in June of 2012.
</li>
<li>
<h4>Apollo 17 at Shorty Crater</h4>
<p>Astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt roam the Moon&#8217;s surface in December 1972.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">I wasn&#8217;t going to blog on this as I&#8217;ve not used it yet and Rab have stopped making it. However, there&#8217;s been quite a lot of interest on Twitter, so I thought I&#8217;d better do a little &#8220;first look&#8221; post.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Why buy yet another sleeping bag? Well, I&#8217;ve been looking at quilts and top bags for a while. I rejected the idea of a quilt as I&#8217;m a restless sleeper and the likely problem of draughts. I also don&#8217;t like the idea of strapping the quilt to a mat so it&#8217;s impossible to sit up. Top bags have more appeal as they are enclosed like sleeping bags but only have insulation on the top. Given that the insulation on the the bottom is largely superfluous, this seems like a good, weight saving idea. The Neutrino SL has been around for a while, but Rab have decided to discontinue production, so it was now or never.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogpackinglight.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/p10306401.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7232" title="P1030640" src="http://blogpackinglight.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/p10306401.jpg?w=593&#038;h=395" alt="" width="593" height="395" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I was also prompted by some favourable comments by <a href="http://www.summitandvalley.com/" target="_blank">Martin Rye</a> who bought one recently. Martin alerted me that Ultralight Outdoors Gear only had one bag left in stock, so I took the plunge. Interlink Express failed to deliver it on time, claiming that I was out when I was in, but finally it arrived yesterday. My first impressions are highly favourable. Unusually, it weighs slightly less than the advertised weight at 573g versus 588g. I hope they&#8217;ve not skimped on down! The loft is very good and the down quality compares well with my Western Mountaineering bag. The material is very soft to the touch.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://blogpackinglight.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/p1030645.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7241" title="P1030645" src="http://blogpackinglight.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/p1030645.jpg?w=593&#038;h=395" alt="" width="593" height="395" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The bag is quite long at 210cm, 15cm longer than my Alpkit Pipedream 400, so it should suit tall people. The foot and underside has some Primaloft insulation that extends for 65cms to just above the back of the knees. The underside then extends for 95cms without insulation but with a sleeve for a sleeping pad and an additional four loops for shock cord. As I intend to use the bag with my Exped mats (Synmat UL and Downmat UL), I&#8217;ve attached some shock cord to the lowest pair of loops, using a small carabiner on one side for ease of attachment.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://blogpackinglight.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/p1030646.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7240" title="P1030646" src="http://blogpackinglight.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/p1030646.jpg?w=593&#038;h=371" alt="" width="593" height="371" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Moving up, there is a very plush down filled hood. The baffles around the hood appear to be overfilled to form a kind of collar. I experimented with a Thermarest (old style) in the sleeve and it was a very tight fit. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d like to use it like this as you would have to unzip it to sit up. I&#8217;ll either not tether it or I&#8217;ll use the piece of shock cord.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://blogpackinglight.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/p1030647.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7242" title="P1030647" src="http://blogpackinglight.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/p1030647.jpg?w=593&#038;h=395" alt="" width="593" height="395" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Neutrino has a half zip which is double ended but has no zip pullers. I rectified this using a bit of grey cord that I had. Zip pullers make it much easier to keep the zip away from the draught tube. The draught tube is quite narrow but adequate and has a Primaloft fill, which is more sensible than down in my view as it is stiffer. Unlike some bags, the hood velcro closure keep the zipper end away from your face. Lastly there&#8217;s an elasticated draw cord to cinch the hood. The hood itself is a good shape.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Neutrino comes with a cotton storage bag and a very well specified dry bag which has an internal drawstring and roll over top, but is a bit heavy at 67g. All in all, it seems to be a very good bag and should probably match my Alpkit Pipedream 400 for warmth (assuming a good insulating mat). At 573g, there&#8217;s a useful 167g weight saving and it packs down into an appreciably smaller package. The proof of the pudding will be when I use it, which is unlikley in the short term as we are still nursing our dog, who is doing well, but will need another month or so of care.</p>

<description><![CDATA[So, recently scientists reported the discovery of a particle with observable effects likening it to]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, recently scientists reported the discovery of a particle with observable effects likening it to the Higgs Boson. That&#8217;s a very complex way of saying &#8220;they think they found the Higgs Boson&#8221;. Some of you may not think this is a big deal. To those people, I say &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe you understand the gravity of this matter&#8221;. <em>That&#8217;s the first of some of the Higgs jokes popping up.</em></p>
<p>Anyway, this is a huge scientific breakthrough and it pretty much shoots the whole neutrino affair out of the water. Why is that? Well, there was a lot more hype over the neutrino potentially surpassing light speed because geeks and opportunists started an avalanche of ill-informed statements. The most prominent of these was the whole &#8220;faster than light&#8221; travel fiasco. I wrote an article on the neutrino for a course at uni but I can&#8217;t be bothered finding it so I&#8217;ll sum up quickly why this is a stupid idea: the neutrino is also known as the &#8220;ghost particle&#8221; because it can travel through matter with minimal to no interaction. If something with that kind of amazing ability can&#8217;t surpass light speed (or was in doubt of surpassing light speed at the time that these faster than light dreams started multiplying) then what hope do humans have? Let&#8217;s put this in perspective. Suppose the neutrino <strong>did</strong> manage to break the light speed barrier. Well, you might say humans will use that technology to develop super-light speed travel. Errrrrrr. Wrong. What are you going to do, make a spaceship out of neutrinos? Let me remind you that neutrinos do not interact with matter. You&#8217;ll have a better chance at resolving the atheist-theist war than ever making even a seat out of neutrinos. There&#8217;s a lot more to the neutrino than that, and maybe I&#8217;ll put the information up here some time, but for now, rest easy knowing that we&#8217;ll always be stuck at sub-light speeds.</p>
<p>I sort of went off at a tangent here. The point was that the neutrino buzz was a fad; there was never really any substance to it. This Higgs boson ordeal, however, is mind boggling. I mean that literally. Even with my reasonable grasp of science, it&#8217;s a bit hard to wrap my head around. I asked my mom and stepfather (both PhD physicists who were top of their field in Australia before retirement) for a bit of clarification and arrived at the understanding I have now. I&#8217;m going to give a brief explanation of the Higgs Boson and Higgs field in the following paragraphs; if these do not interest you, you may skip, but that leaves you with a bigger question &#8211; what are you doing reading this if you&#8217;re not interested in science?</p>
<p>Ok, so let&#8217;s start with the Higgs field. Why? Because the Higgs Boson is a particle associated with the Higgs field in the same way a photon is associated with an electromagnetic field. The difference here is that the Higgs field permeates the universe. This is a bit hard to understand without an analogy. Let&#8217;s say that the universe is submerged within a tank of water &#8211; that is, all the planets and stars and galaxies are objects within this tank. The water would be the fabric of time and space &#8211; as well as the Higgs field. It is everywhere, in more ways than one. For example, you can bend the fabric of space time (with our analogy, that would be a ripple in the water). Whilst this may shorten the &#8220;distance&#8221; between two points, the ripple does not eliminate the space time in between &#8211; it merely distorts it.</p>
<p>So now that we&#8217;ve determined that the Higgs field pretty much encompasses the entirety of the universe (Einstein theorised a similar space time fabric, though I forget the exact name), what you need to know is that particles travelling through the Higgs field, and thus interacting with it, are affected by the Higgs  Boson. The Higgs Boson is a class of particle whose category is known as a Boson. It&#8217;s special because it transfers mass to certain elementary particles and thus explains why some particles have mass and others do not. Without mass, there would be no gravity and thus no universe &#8211; which is why you&#8217;ll hear that the Higgs Boson &#8220;holds the universe together&#8221;. You&#8217;ll also hear it called the &#8220;god particle&#8221; but Higgs dislikes that name &#8211; originally he wanted it called the &#8220;goddamn particle&#8221; but his editor thought it would be more attention grabbing if it was named the &#8220;god particle&#8221;.</p>
<p>Anyway, if we delve a little deeper (and further outside my comfort zone), we can attempt to explain how this mass is transferred. Most particles have a positive or negative, non-integer spin. This means that at each energy level of the particle, only one type of spin can exist for the orbiting electron. This is known as the Pauli exclusion principle. The difference with the Higgs Boson is that it can have zero spin or integer spins, thus allowing it to exist alongside another spinning electron at any given energy level. This essentially means that it can exist in multiple states (you may have heard of this quantum mechanics term before, especially since the popularisation of Schrodinger&#8217;s Cat). Because the Higgs Boson can exist where no other normal particle should, it has the potential to transfer mass (this is actually my own speculation, don&#8217;t quote me in any academic papers).</p>
<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s about as far into it as I&#8217;ll get. The crux of the matter is, the simple model has been completed. Scientists used this model for 50 years with no proof that the Higgs Boson existed, and now, finally, we have that proof. In short, we&#8217;ve discovered something that was fundamental to not only our creation, but everything we see around us in the universe.</p>
<p>The title of this post also mentions world powers, but I&#8217;ve rambled on a bit now. I&#8217;ll just leave with a quick paraphrasing of the well known Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. &#8220;On the day that we Americans like to tell ourselves that we&#8217;re the best (July 4), Europe reminds us how far behind we&#8217;ve fallen in science (Higgs Boson)&#8221;. Dr. Tyson has a deep concern that scientific power will shift away from the US, and wishes to reignite his country&#8217;s passion for science. I agree with his forecast; due to the nature of brilliant minds, the next generations of scientists will go to Europe instead of the US for their scientific goals, due to the infrastructure Europe can offer (Large Hadron Collider vs. the now closed Enrico Fermi reactor in the US). A large part of the US&#8217;s success is due to the infrastructure and opportunity available within the country, which attracted immigrants and geniuses together. As Dr. Tyson also points out, the greatest scientific achievements made by the US were made by immigrants (a German scientist started the US space program, for instance), and if their infrastructure falls behind, inevitably, their science will too. This will have a widespread effect that will eventually see the US removed as the world superpower (among other factors).</p>
<p>Well, those are my thoughts for the day. Forgive me for any errors in my scientific talk &#8211; as I said, the details of quantum physics elude me and I haven&#8217;t had the time to research the Higgs Boson as much as I did for the neutrino. Let&#8217;s just leave with a picture of the second (and perhaps more prominent) reason why Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is so famous now.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;">People often wonder what activities occur at the South Pole during the winter, or to phrase it differently, why are we here?  Over the course of the next couple of months I will tell you about some of the scientific investigations underway at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in such diverse fields as earth science, astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and climatology.</span></span></span></p>
<div id="attachment_299" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/icecube-laboratory-march-2012.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-299" title="IceCube Laboratory - March 2012 by Dale Mole'" src="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/icecube-laboratory-march-2012.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">IceCube Laboratory &#8211; March 2012 by Dale Mole&#8217;</p></div>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;">Perhaps one of the most unique investigations being conducted is that of the IceCube Laboratory (ICL), more formally known as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.  Construction of the $276,000,000 project started in 2004 and was just recently completed.  The structure shown in the picture above is just the “tip of the iceberg”, for deeply buried in the ice below the laboratory are about five thousand Digital Optical Modules or DOMs designed to detect the traces of sojourners from outer space.  No, not the sort of aliens depicted in the various movie versions of “The Thing”, but rather subatomic particles known as neutrinos.</span></span></span></p>
<div id="attachment_290" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/1-bluetoparray_black-618432112.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-290" title="IceCube Array " src="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/1-bluetoparray_black-618432112.jpg?w=460&#038;h=386" alt="" width="460" height="386" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Neutrino Detector Array Buried Deep In The South Pole Ice</p></div>
<p><a href="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/icecube-in-scale.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-295" title="IceCube in Scale" src="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/icecube-in-scale.jpg?w=460&#038;h=504" alt="" width="460" height="504" /></a></p>
</div>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;">Neutrinos (Italian for “small neutral one”) are constantly bombarding Earth and can result from radioactive decay, nuclear reactions, or energetic cosmic events.  Unlike many other particles of cosmic origin, they have a very small mass and are electrically neutral, so they are not affected by the magnetic fields of stars and planets.  As a matter of fact, they interact very little with other matter and are able to pass right through the Earth unimpeded.  Since they travel in a straight line it is possible for scientists to trace their trajectory back to their point of origin. This makes neutrinos one of the best tools for uncovering mysteries in the farthest reaches of the universe.  But neutrinos are notoriously difficult to detect and it takes very special instruments in a very special environment to have any hope of success.</span></span></span></p>
<div id="attachment_296" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/5-dom-picture-1588691480.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-296" title="5-DOM-Picture-1588691480" src="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/5-dom-picture-1588691480.jpg?w=460&#038;h=413" alt="" width="460" height="413" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Digital Optical Module (DOM) That Detects Blue Light Flashes In The Ice</p></div>
<p><a href="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/digital-optical-module.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-301" title="Digital Optical Module" src="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/digital-optical-module.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dom-lowered-into-the-ice.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-294" title="DOM lowered into the ice" src="http://southpoledoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dom-lowered-into-the-ice.jpg?w=460&#038;h=297" alt="" width="460" height="297" /></a></p>
</div>
</div>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;">IceCube’s detector array took six years to construct and consists of eighty-six cables, each strung with 60 basketball-sized DOM light detectors which were lowered into in 2.4 kilometer (8000 feet) deep holes melted in the ice with hot water.  The melted ice was allowed to refreeze, creating a detector array one cubic kilometer (a little more than half a mile) in size. Each DOM is enclosed in a thick glass sphere strong enough to withstand the enormous pressure of the deep ice.  The DOM contains a photomultiplier tube and other electronics able to detect and record the faint blue light (“Cherenkov radiation”) emitted when a neutrino strikes a hydrogen or oxygen atom in the ice and produces a muon.  Because the deep ice at the South Pole is exceptionally clear, dozens of sensors will see each muon created and scientists can triangulate the neutrino’s exact path through the ice.</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Neutrinos are thought to result from exploding stars or super novas, black holes that eject intense jets of particles, or even the mysterious dark matter that is thought to make up the majority of the universe.  It is ironic that to help solve the mysteries of the outer reaches of the universe, we have come to what Captain Robert Falcon Scott called “this awful place” at the end of the Earth.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Higgs figured it out but they wanted to remove all doubt so they cranked up a hadron to run &#8217;til they had one&#8211; a particle that would prove to be the real article. it would show up in the collider maybe disproving for some the theory of a Provider. it would happen at the CERN somewhere near Lucerne as soon as they could discern what Higgs had already inferred &#8216;though the elusive thing had not yet been interred; but as soon as they were certain that there was higgs-boson behind the curtain they would know that they had sped a proton as fast as a friggin photon, gathering data for the theory to float on, as soon as they could get the thing to go fast enough it would provide proof of energy celebrating mass, not a a catholic one but rather  a quirky quarkic one. when at last they had smashed the little thing to get a quark as certifiable as noahs ark&#8211; just a very small piece of cosmology to outweigh all the ethereal theology, when they had found the god particle then journalists could write the article to present the evidence, no longer was it unproven like providence. no not a god of the cosmos but of the inside of the atom, deep down among the neutrinos, hoodwinking the casinos, and they&#8217;d wagered that the higgs-boson was one, somewhere inside the atom. now we can forget about the adam, and eve. now we have found the boson so we know how the world goes on. yes it still goes and goes,  with all its woes and woes, and toes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Science Today (Can Science find Good Work and Money for youngsters?)</strong></p>
<p>Introduction:<br />
Most of the time, money dictates work. You are given 100$ per hour for IT work, 200$ for Science work and so on. This shuts down the creativity in an individual leading to premature death. Can we create the environment for an individual, where an individual can keep on expressing his creativity without any limitations from others?</p>
<p>Meat:</p>
<p>1. Astrophysics (Far: About Stars, Aliens and Fairies if they exist)</p>

(The first of defense bodies in humans discovered, which fight against diseases)</p>
<p>6. Mathematics</p>
<p><a title="Number Theory" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_theory" target="_blank">Number Theory</a>:<br />
(Number theory converts geometry to integers. Complex geometric shapes from lines to triangles, to perhaps one day paintings can be converted to numbers using Number theory. It is an evolving theory, as we explore the universe.)</p>
<p><a title="Infinity" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity" target="_blank">Infinity</a>:<br />
(Something which is endless, and where all physical laws breakdown)</p>
<p>Conclusion:<br />
The Number game from infinity to people defined in mathematics which goes on to be implemented in definite science in brains (complete atlas), to never-ending life (defense mechanism in human bodies), mechanism to create new individuals like yourself and also something we call perhaps as instinct particles (neutrinos) which are supposed to be faster than light. Everything by which an individual can create never-ending creativity in his work without money restrictions.</p>

It&#8217;s always reassuring to know that even the professionals and their PhDs still make simple mistakes in measurements &#8211; and that we don&#8217;t have to completely rewrite the entire physics curriculum to fit a new discovery just yet. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="float:right;padding:5px;"><a href="http://researchblogging.org/news/?p=3388" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;" src="http://www.researchblogging.org/public/citation_icons/rb_editors-selection.png" alt="This post was chosen as an Editor's Selection for ResearchBlogging.org" /></a></span></p>
<p><em>Everyone loves a good Hollywood ending. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as seeing a masked hero finally dispatch an evil villain. But aren’t flying men with super-strength a bit passé? Maybe it&#8217;s time for some new, cutting-edge superheroes…</em></p>
<div id="attachment_2257" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://thesoftanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/superheroscience_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2257       " title="Science-inspired superheroes" src="http://thesoftanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/superheroscience_1.jpg?w=490&#038;h=351" alt="" width="490" height="351" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Introducing&#8230; Corner Woman, Neutrino-man and Camo-Kid (credit: Dave Gray for Guru magazine)</p></div>
<p>Science and superheroes have a surprisingly intimate history. Pick any of the well-known protagonists from the Marvel or DC comic books and the chances are you’ll be able to trace their history back to science.</p>
<p>Spider-Man, for instance, came into existence when geeky high school student Peter Parker was bitten by a (radioactive) spider during a science demonstration. Some superheroes were even fully-fledged scientists before freak accidents gave them their powers – Bruce Banner (the Incredible Hulk) and Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic from the Fantastic Four) are two examples.</p>
<p>The X-Men, whose superpowers developed from mutations, were undoubtedly inspired by the theory of evolution. Of course, it’s highly unlikely that anyone in the real world is going to start growing <a href="http://www.empireonline.com/images/features/future-of-x-men-franchise/wolverine.jpg" target="_blank">claws</a> out of their hands, but mutations are known to play an important role in natural selection, in which a random mutation, if beneficial, can eventually become a new characteristic of a species.</p>
<p>Even Superman – “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound” – is not quite as unscientific as you might think. In 2007, <a href="http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/staff-directory/mineralogy/c-stanley/index.html" target="_blank">Dr Chris Stanley</a> at London’s Natural History Museum discovered a mineral with the chemical formula &#8216;sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide&#8217;. He soon realised that this composition was remarkably similar to the description of a rock containing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite" target="_blank">Kryptonite</a> in the 2006 film <em>Superman Returns</em>. The real mineral, however, is white, powdery and harmless – quite unlike the green, radioactive material that blights Superman throughout his adventures.</p>
<div id="attachment_2270" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://thesoftanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/superman.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2270" title="Superman" src="http://thesoftanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/superman.jpg?w=490&#038;h=307" alt="" width="490" height="307" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Superman plays with himself (credit: JC Hancock)</p></div>
<p>Clearly, then, there’s a fair amount of science in the world of superheroes. But what type of superhero, I wondered, could be born from today’s cutting-edge scientific research? I decided to browse through some of the recent science news stories and create three science-inspired superheroes of my own. This trio probably won’t be gracing a Marvel comic or Hollywood blockbuster anytime soon, but I hope you’ll take them into your heart anyway.</p>

Neutrino-man! (credit: Dave Gray for Guru magazine)</p></div>
<p>Nowhere is too remote for Neutrino-man. A submarine deep underwater? Neutrino-man uses his superpower to communicate with his support team on dry land. A space station on the far side of a distant planet? Neutrino-man sends a message to say that he’s just made friends with an alien. Hiking through the deepest, darkest rainforest? Neutrino-man phones home to say he’ll be back in time for tea.</p>
<p>Long live Neutrino-man and his neutrino-powered navel!</p>
<p><em>N.B. Contrary to popular belief, neither Neutrino-man nor his particles travel faster than the speed of light.</em></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><span style="color:#993366;"><strong>The science:</strong></span></span>Physicists recently sent the first ever message using a beam of neutrinos.</p>
<p>Researchers at the Fermilab facility near Chicago performed this feat by converting their message – a rather uninspired &#8216;neutrino&#8217; – into binary code (the 1s and 0s used by computers). This code was then sent using a kind of neutrino Morse code, with the 1s corresponding to a pulse of neutrinos and the 0s corresponding to no neutrinos. Finally, the neutrino beam was detected at the underground MINERvA detector about 1 km away, where the message was deciphered.</p>
<p>This is evidently quite a complicated procedure, so why go to the trouble of sending a message using neutrinos? Well, because neutrinos are chargeless, virtually massless particles, they’re able to penetrate huge distances through matter. This gives them an advantage over the electromagnetic waves that we currently use to communicate, which lose their intensity as they penetrate obstacles such as mountains and oceans.</p>
<p>But there’s one big problem with this technology. Because neutrinos rarely interact with matter, they’re also extremely difficult to detect:  the detector used in this experiment registered only one in every ten billion neutrinos sent. This means that the household neutrinophone is likely to remain within the realms of fiction for the time being, unless you have the space and money to build an enormous neutrino detector underneath your back garden.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>Corner Woman</strong></span></h3>
<p>Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s Corner Woman! OK, so she may not have the most impressive moniker, but what Corner Woman lacks in name she makes up for with her unique ability of looking around corners. Prowling the gloomy alleyways of London, Corner Woman is always one step ahead of her adversaries, catching sight of them long before they’ve spotted her.</p>
<div id="attachment_2262" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://thesoftanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/cornerwoman.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2262   " title="Corner Woman" src="http://thesoftanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/cornerwoman.jpg?w=490&#038;h=301" alt="" width="490" height="301" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Corner Woman in action (credit: Dave Gray for Guru magazine)</p></div>
<p>Look out – here comes evil Jack the Kipper, Corner Woman’s sworn nemesis! Corner Woman presses herself against the nearest wall and uses her finely-tuned superpower to spy on her arch-enemy. The man-fish hybrid is rapidly approaching, his protruding lips contorted into a twisted grin, his bulbous eyes glowing under the fluorescent streetlights.</p>
<p>Suddenly, in one graceful move, Corner Woman swivels to face her unsuspecting foe. BANG! KAPOW! SHAZAM! Jack the Kipper is floored, face down in a puddle of his own slimy blood – a fishy corpse on Camden’s grimy streets. He didn’t see that one coming.</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;"><strong>The science:</strong></span>A team of scientists in the US recently showed that even regular humans can look around corners.</p>
<p>The researchers first placed a mannequin behind a wall, hiding it from the view of a camera. Then, they fired a laser pulse at a screen angled towards the mannequin. The light particles (&#8216;photons&#8217;) from the laser hit this screen, scattering them in all directions. Some of these scattered photons flew towards the hidden mannequin, bounced off it, and finally travelled back the way they came towards the camera.</p>
<p>So far, so unremarkable, you may be thinking. But the key to this experiment was the camera, which had an incredible time resolution of just 2 picoseconds. That’s two millionths of a millionth of a second – the time it takes light to travel 0.6 mm. This meant that the total distance travelled by each photon (from the laser to the mannequin to the camera) could be measured with sub-millimetre accuracy.</p>
<p>By angling the laser through 60 different positions, and feeding all this information into a computer algorithm, the scientists were able to reconstruct a precise 3D image of the mannequin – even though it was completely out of sight of the camera. Here&#8217;s a video showing the full process:</p>
<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/JWDocXPy-iQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p>This corner-cutting technology could have a number of useful applications. Surgeons, for example, could use it to help them see around awkwardly-shaped organs when performing an endoscopy (looking inside the body using a tiny camera), whilst search and rescue teams could use it to locate trapped survivors in an emergency situation.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>Camo-Kid</strong></span></h3>
<p>Camo-Kid is a master of disguise. Dressed in a bodysuit of black rubber, he often attracts suspicious glances around his hometown. But, as soon as there’s an emergency, Camo-Kid’s suit instantly changes to match his surroundings, and our superhero becomes invisible.</p>
<div id="attachment_2273" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px"><a href="http://thesoftanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/camokid.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2273 " title="Camo-Kid" src="http://thesoftanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/camokid.jpg?w=490&#038;h=305" alt="" width="490" height="305" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Camo-Kid in all his glory (credit: Dave Gray for Guru magazine)</p></div>
<p>Today, Camo-Kid is a tree. He’s been called to some woods in the north of Scotland, and has expertly blended himself in with the pale bark of the birch trees that surround him. Standing stock-still, Camo-Kid waits for a drugs gang who are said to use these woods as a storage place for their special hash-haggis.</p>
<p>However, five hours in the pouring rain reveals only a handful of squirrels, a sad-looking deer, and a bedraggled badger. Dejected, Camo-Kid trundles home and does what he always does when he’s had a bad day. He sits on the sofa, replicates the furniture’s floral pattern, and mischievously waits for his girlfriend to arrive back after work. It’s the oldest trick in the book, but it makes her jump every time.</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;"><strong>The science:</strong></span>A material that changes its texture at the flick of a switch is now a bona fide reality.</p>
<p>This material, created by engineers at Duke University in the US, is made up of several different layers. First, a layer of rubber is bonded onto a more rigid material known as the substrate. The bottom surface of this substrate is then coated with a thin layer of metal, whilst the top surface of the rubber is coated with a salt solution.</p>
<p>When a voltage is applied between the top and bottom surfaces of this material combination, an electric field develops in the rubber layer. This causes a compressive force that creates surface patterns – first creases, and then craters as the voltage is increased. Once the voltage is turned off, the rubber returns to its original, flat state.</p>
<p>Aside from camouflage, this technology could be used to make shoe soles with a tunable grip. On a more fanciful note, it may one day be possible to create gloves whose fingerprints can be changed on demand – a very useful accessory for any aspiring spy.</p>
<p>However, the material developed by these engineers doesn’t change its colour, so it’ll still be a while before Camo-Kid’s bodysuit hits the shops.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/faster_than_light_14518753.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4284 aligncenter" title="" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/faster_than_light_14518753-e1338838609336.jpg?w=493&#038;h=331" alt="" width="493" height="331" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>September 23th, a new has mad the scientific community tremble. Researcher CERN’s researchers based in the INFN Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy have measured a beam of neutrinos which was faster than light. This observation was invalided by the ICARIUS experience on mars 16<sup>th</sup>. But this is not the end of the story…</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Let me tell you the fantastic story of the neutrinos</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> Once up on a time (15 billion years ago), soon after the birth of the Universe, a promising particle named Neutrinos is born. It has some quality that could help it to win the race with the light. First of all, neutrinos are so small that the scientific, F. Reines, says that a neutrino is “the most tiny quantity of reality ever imagined by a human being&#8221;. This particle don’t interact with other particle, it is free of charge, unaffected by magnetic field. It is only affected by the weakest of nature’s force, which is the gravity. This means that a neutrino can go straight away thought the universe, Stars, Galaxies, magnetic fields as if those one didn’t existed.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">What’s a neutrino? You still do not understand? Don’t panic it would take only one minute and 25 seconds for you to become a neutrinos&#8217; expert.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/lAAmAbJvvJg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p style="text-align:center;">Now that you are more familiar with neutrinos, let’s continue the story.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">September 23th 2011, Antonio Ereditato, Spoke person and Dario Autiero, coordinator of the experience OPERA announced that they have observed a neutrinos that was faster than light.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/jAa2ll22jJk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p style="text-align:center;">This result was like a bomb in the scientific community. It could blow up all the established physics’ laws and contradicted the Einstein’s relativity theory which claims that noting is faster than light.</p>
<p><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/einstein-emc22-362x289.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-4285 aligncenter" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/einstein-emc22-362x289.jpg?w=253&#038;h=202" alt="" width="253" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>This observation did not only threat to tremble the scientific edifice, but also to change our conception of the universe and of the causality. Indeed, if a neutrino could run faster than light, it means that it would be able to transport information in the past. It could change the course of event. For example, you could send to your past person the result of the lottery and become rich. This means that human would have to admit that there is no causality and no order in the universe.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This unexpected discovery make a lot of people react all around the internet. Lots of comments were posted.  Some were wondering if it was possible, other were dreaming and debating about time traveling.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/89.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4307" title="" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/89-e1338846191580.png?w=510&#038;h=64" alt="" width="510" height="64" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/82.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4308" title="" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/82-e1338846253680.png?w=466&#038;h=79" alt="" width="466" height="79" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/901.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4310 alignnone" title="" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/901-e1338846457326.png?w=536&#038;h=149" alt="" width="536" height="149" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4313 alignnone" title="" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-e1338847013579.png?w=572&#038;h=73" alt="" width="572" height="73" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">By their side, scientists were sceptical about this unexpected discovery and decided to wait for the result of independent researches. They were tweeting all around the world.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/k1.png"><img class=" wp-image-4288 aligncenter" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/k1-e1338839546722.png?w=511&#038;h=65" alt="" width="511" height="65" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/21.png"><img class=" wp-image-4289 aligncenter" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/21-e1338839629831.png?w=504&#038;h=81" alt="" width="504" height="81" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/31.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4294 aligncenter" title="" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/31-e1338840130593.png?w=515&#038;h=88" alt="" width="515" height="88" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/4.png"><img class=" wp-image-4295 aligncenter" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/4-e1338840207749.png?w=500&#038;h=84" alt="" width="500" height="84" /></a></p>
<p>Soon the OPERA’s results were infirmed. Mars 16<sup>th</sup> 2012, researchers from the ICARUS experience held in the Gran Sasso laboratory found as result that neutrinos are not able to run faster than light. According to a CERN’s press release, the error come from the optical fiber connector that routes the signal to the external GPS master clock OPERA which could have not operate properly when the measure was taken.</p>
<p><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/img_0189.jpg"><img class="wp-image-4296 aligncenter" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/img_0189.jpg?w=472&#038;h=354" alt="" width="472" height="354" /></a></p>
<p>Hearing these result two persons where specially reassured. It is Jim Al-Khalili and the ghost of Einstein.</p>
<p><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/images.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4297 aligncenter" title="" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/images.jpg?w=290&#038;h=174" alt="" width="290" height="174" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/10.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4301 aligncenter" title="" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/10-e1338840923267.png?w=516&#038;h=57" alt="" width="516" height="57" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/7.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4298 aligncenter" title="7" src="http://ajmstudents.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/7-e1338840725128.png?w=509&#038;h=91" alt="" width="509" height="91" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">But this is not the end of the story, CERN’s experiences such as BOREXINO, ICARUS, LVD and OPERA are currently doing measure which will lead to a final verdict. Until then it is still allows to dream of time traveling or to do nightmare about universe’s chaos.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">What do you think:</h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">is there a chance that one of these experiences confirms that neutrinos can be faster than light?</h3>

This diagram shows the structure of the neutrino family, including the fibril, reactive ends, and the discrete field. It is the hand, quantity and arrangement of these field elements (hyffons) that determine the characteristics of the particule as it interacts with other particules.</p></div>
<p>Further to the previous post about the mirror worlds and the New Scientist article on that topic, it seems impossible to talk about matter-antimatter without neutrinos butting into the conversation somewhere. Or antineutrinos. Problem is that these particles are difficult to detect, and harder still to understand.</p>
<p>The cordus conjecture identifies that the neutrino family (includes the anti~) have a lot to do with many nuclear processes.  Here we explain why. First, we need to go back to the matter-antimatter dichotomy.</p>
<p>In the cordus mechanics, handedness is the primary difference between matter and antimatter. Specifically that the dichotomy involves the inversion of the handedness of the discrete field structure. Cordus also predicts that the hand of the particle cannot be changed without one of the neutrino family being involved, for reasons that will be shown.</p>
<p>Using this type of concept it is possible to get quite far in explaining the matter-antimatter annihilation process itself (<a href="http://vixra.org/abs/1109.0009">http://vixra.org/abs/1109.0009</a>), the relative lifetimes and decay products of para- and orthopositronium <a href="//vixra.org/abs/1109.0068">(http://vixra.org/abs/1109.0068</a>), the left-handedness (spin) of the neutrinos (<a href="http://vixra.org/abs/1111.0022">http://vixra.org/abs/1111.0022</a>), and the weak interaction (<a href="http://vixra.org/abs/1111.0023">http://vixra.org/abs/1111.0023</a>). These effects involve matter-antimatter, or neutrino family effects.</p>
<p>All these explanations are given in simple physically natural descriptions, albeit unorthodox. Within that list of papers are proposed solutions to some problematic gaps in conventional physics. Providing an explanation for why neutrinos always have left-spin-hand, and antineutrinos are right-handed, is one such novel development. Another is baryogenesis, which comes next.</p>
<p>Putting it all togther results in a model for the asymmetrical baryogenesis. This is one of the unsolved problems in physics: why is there so much matter in the universe, and so little antimatter, given that the conversion of light to matter should have produced equal amounts?</p>
<p>In the cordus answer to this, the energetic antielectron from pair-production is remanufactured into  a proton, and the antimatter field structure of the antielectron is carried away by antineutrinos  as a waste stream (<a href="http://vixra.org/abs/1111.0035">http://vixra.org/abs/1111.0035</a>) . So in this model the antimatter is hiding in plain sight, with the antineutrinos carrying the evidence away to the edges of the universe.</p>
<p>So the cordus model describes <em>what </em>neutrino are, <em>how </em>they interact with other particules, and <em>why</em> they have the characteristics they do. <em> </em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Is &#8216;notmatter&#8217; another form of matter?</em></p>
<p>A new and rather odd state of matter appears in the  cordus model. The cordus explanation of the weak interaction (beta decay, W and Z bosons) identified the possibility that matter, e.g. an electron, might exist in state of having reversed charge, but still the same discrete field structures of the electron, and the same hand as the electron (<a href="http://vixra.org/abs/1111.0023">http://vixra.org/abs/1111.0023</a>).</p>

<p>We call this the notElectron, and give it the symbol !e in the HED mechanics. It appears in the HED equations for neutrino-antineutrino annihilation, as a decay product of  notPositronium. It would seem that any particule can in principle have a !not version.</p>
<p><em>Maybe in principle, but we could not give a physical explanation for notmatter at the time. Now we think we can.</em></p>
<p>It seems that notmatter corresponds to holes where matter would otherwise be expected. This is only expected to apply where there is a regular  ordered structure of the matter, such that the absence of one particule makes a well-defined hole. So example materials would be superconductors and superfluids.</p>
<p>If one electron is missing in a network of electrons in a superconductor, then the fields inside that hole correspond to the fields of the neighbouring electrons, but reversed. The hand of those fields is therefore unchanged. So according to the cordus mechanics, this hole is not antimatter (because the hand of the field is not inverted). Instead the hole is an absence of matter, and behaves like a particule in its ability to move around.</p>
<p>This !notmatter concept is a new one, and only accessible in the cordus model. The concept only makes sense if understood in conjunction with the electron having internal structures and discrete field elements.  You cannot understand this concept from quantum mechanics, because that theory assumes that particles are zero-dimensional points and therefore by definition do not have internal structures.</p>
<p>The concept of electrons and holes is well-established in the physics of electron conduction, and a reality of semiconductors and electronic devices that are in everyday use. These holes have been physically observed. So that part is not contentious, though of course the cordus explanation probably will be.</p>
<p>It was thanks to a  New Scientist article that we have been able to join the notElectron and hole concepts.</p>
<p>NS was very excited about the possibility that the <a class="zem_slink" title="Majorana equation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorana_equation" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Majorana particle</a> (one that is simultaneously matter and antimatter) had been observed in the form of electron vs hole  behaviour in superconductors (<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.2792v1">http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.2792v1</a>). This front-page article &#8216;Mirror worlds merged&#8217; appeared in the  12 May 2012 issue. A while back NS also had a cover article on finding magnetic monopoles in these kinds of materials, and now it was matter-antimatter pairs. That got us thinking laterally, and we suddenly realised that the holes they were describing corresponded to the notElectron that the cordus HED mechanics  identifies.</p>
<p><em>So, what are the implications?</em></p>
<p>Well for a start, and assuming that the cordus mechanics is correct, then what they have observed is not a real Majorana particle but rather an electrical analogy that exists in the matter domain.</p>
<p>More fundamentally, cordus predicts that real Majorana particles do not readily exist. For them to do so would require a particule that could change the hand of its field from the matter to the antimatter hands. That is because handedness is the primary difference between matter and antimatter in the cordus model. Furthermore, changing the hand requires discarding the unwanted hand, which is what the neutrino and antineutrinos are doing. Positronium (a temporary bond between an electron and an antielectron) might be a closer analogy to a Majorana particle.</p>
<p>So the associating the cordus notElectron with the electron-hole provides a neat physical explanation for something observed in reality and predicted in the cordus conjecture. The cordus HED mechanics can then be used to represent these structures.</p>
