The World's Largest Particle Accelerator
dmtherob
by dmtherob  8-16-2008   
 No one really knows what the machine will give birth to. But the equations suggest that some weird stuff could be just around the corner — maybe "dark matter," the invisible stuff that seems to hang around galaxies. "It's kind of an embarrassment that we don't know what 95 percent of the universe is made of by weight," Green says. "We hope — it's possible — we may be making dark matter." Some theories say it is possible the collider will cause miniature black holes to momentarily appear. But for now, what has appeared is a table of croissants, an urn of coffee, and more people. Everyone stands around in blue hard hats. They don't talk about black holes or dark matter. A few say things like "I hope the magnet doesn't fall."

Is our universe fine-tuned for life? The Anthropic Principle Under Scrutiny
Silkweaver
by Silkweaver  8-10-2008   
 Adams selected a range of possible values for each of these constants, then put them into a computer model that created a multitude of universes, or a virtual "multiverse". Each universe within the multiverse used different values for the three constants and was subject to slightly different laws of physics. About a quarter of the resulting universes turned out to be populated by energy-generating stars. "You can change alpha or the gravitational constant by a factor of 100 and stars still form," Adams says, suggesting that stars can exist in universes in which at least some fundamental constants are wildly different than in our universe.

Is our universe fine-tuned for life?
Mohir
by Mohir  8-3-2008   
 Claims of fine-tuning have generally been based on what happens when you vary a single characteristic of the universe, say the strength of gravity, while holding all others constant. That, says Adams, is too artificial a scenario to tell you anything about whether there are other universes that can support life. "The right way to do the problem is to start from scratch," he says. "You have to turn all the knobs and find out what happens."

Quiet Explosion: Object Intermediate Between Normal Supernovae And Gamma-ray Bursts Found
Silkweaver
by Silkweaver  7-25-2008   
 Stars that were at birth more massive than about 8 times the mass of our Sun end their relatively short life in a cosmic, cataclysmic firework lighting up the Universe. The outcome is the formation of the densest objects that exist, neutron stars and black holes. When exploding, some of the most massive stars emit a short cry of agony, in the form of a burst of very energetic light, X- or gamma-rays.

About The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
rj3sp
by rj3sp  7-18-2008    1
 The Large Hadron Generator (LHC) , at CERN. will become the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the standard model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. Concerns, however, have been raised regarding the safety of the LHC on the grounds that it might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes.

Extraterrestrial Particle Accelerator
revenantdm
by revenantdm  7-3-2008   
 I recently read an excellent book titled "Decipher," about a diverse group of people trying to save the Earth. A linguist that specialized in dead languages like Chaldean and Sumerian... A CIA remote viewer.. A Construction Engineer for a Oil Company... An Archaeologist.. A Quantum Scientist/Mathematician focused on Chaos Theory... A Crack team of Marines with the ever noble squared-jaw leader. Their goal was to decipher a base 60 language that ad been left imprinted on crystal matrices tens of thousands years old with a carbon-60 elemental make up.. Read it if you can find it, it is amazing. The Particle Accelerator here was featured in that book and the Physicist was spouting off about these theories of mini-black holes and space/time distortion. Thus article goes one better as it alleges that the Collider is the only NON-TOP SECRET unit being used and many more exist...

 The conclusion comes from a large observing campaign of the spiral galaxy M81, which is about 12 million light-years from Earth. In the center of M81 is a black hole that is about 70 million times more massive than the Sun, and generates energy and radiation as it pulls gas in the central region of the galaxy inwards at high speed.

 While the readings confirm the laws of physics apply across the known universe, if it had been any other way, it would not only have been a surprise, but physics textbooks would have to be rewritten. Of course, the search has only just begun. The Radio Telescope is only a recent development, and much of what we know about the Universe, has been learned since the Hubble telescope became operational.
