Christer Fuglesang became the first Swede in space in 2006.He talks about life as an astronaut and the future of space research.
It's not rocket science — it's a fundamental part of how our world works, and not as complex as you might fear
Stephen Hawking visited the Large Hadron Collider’s underground tunnel at Europe’s CERN particle physics research center in 2006. Hawking and seven CERN researchers receiving multimillion-dollar prizes from the Fundamental Physics Prize Foundation. Image credit: CERN Two $3,000,000 special physics prizes have been awarded to Stephen Hawking and to seven scientists who led the effort to … Continue reading "Stephen Hawking and CERN LHC Team Each Win $3 Million Prize"
From exploring particle physics in New York to watching the stars in Hawaii, summer is prime time for a little science tourism.
This article is about higher consciousness symptoms. We all know that all creation is the manifestation from the divine source; we are also aware that even the smallest element exists as pure energy. The object density governs how fast that energy can physically vibrate. Everything that is physically manifested vibrates at a certain range of frequency for our human senses to perceive it. There are limits to perceiving the higher dimensions or higher consciousness because the frequency rate and vibration are not in the range of human perception. We lack the faith and the ability to believe in something we
One of the weirdest bits of physics is proved beyond doubt (almost)
A 2008 newspaper article about the Large Hadron Collider inspired Kate Findlay to start a years-long quilting project.
From novels and short stories to television and film, popular media has made a cottage industry of predicting the end of the world will be caused by particle accelerators. Rather than allay such fears, public pronouncements by particle scientists themselves often unwittingly fan the flames of hysteria. This book surveys media depictions of particle accelerator physics and the perceived dangers these experiments pose. In addition, it describes the role of scientists in propagating such fears and misconceptions, offering as a conclusion ways in which the scientific community could successfully allay such misplaced fears through more effective communication strategies. The book is aimed at the general reader interested in separating fact from fiction in the field of high-energy physics, at science educators and communicators, and, last but not least, at all scientists concerned about these issues. About the Author KristineM Larsen holds a Ph.D. in Physics and is currently a professor at Central Connecticut State University, New Britain, CT, in the Geological Sciences Department. She has published a number of books, among them The Women Who Popularized Geology in the 19th Century (Springer, 2017), The Mythological Dimensions of Neil Gaiman (eds. Anthony Burdge, Jessica Burke, and Kristine Larsen. Kitsune Press, 2012. Recipient of the Gold Medal for Science Fiction/Fantasy in the 2012 Florida Publishing Association Awards), The Mythological Dimensions of Doctor Who (eds. Anthony Burdge, Jessica Burke, and Kristine Larsen. Kitsune Press, 2010), as well as Stephen Hawking: A Biography (Greenwood Press, 2005) and Cosmology 101 (Greenwood Press, (2007).
After finding the Higgs boson, the LHC has had a refit to enable it to operate at even greater extremes and perhaps to discover the elusive ‘dark matter’, writes Robin McKie
