The Myth of Science as a Public Good (by Terence Kealey):part 4

Posted by SpaceMan in CERN on 12 13th, 2010 | no responses

Terence Kealey gives a talk on why science is not a public good, and why it is be better off done in the private sector. In this part Kealey answers a question about whether the private sector would fund research into pure science subjects like number theory despite a seeming lack of immediate commercial applications.

One of the Universe’s open questions maybe a step closer to be answered thanks to over 30 atoms of antihydrogen that have been trapped and stored by scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, Cern. According to a written statement, this opens the path to new ways of making detailed measurements of antihydrogen, which will allow scientists to compare matter and antimatter, the latter being what annihilates ordinary matter in a single explosive flash of energy.

PYRAMIDS AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO WITH GRAVITY AND SPACE DISTORTION

Posted by SpaceMan in Space Photos on 10 30th, 2010 | no responses

Another video, this time, with some home made optics experiment… I believe that gravity works as a piramid. At center, space is shorter. Outside, space is larger. The light speed depends from the distance between the points in my graphics. All was made with blender. A pyramid Prisma, a lighter and a plastic plate. On the graphics, the net represents the ways that light could take for accelerate…if these spaces remains stable, for exemple, inside of a gravitational field, light will have a constant speed. but if they change too much, light will slow down his speed. If the acceleration increases or decresase over the square of the stable velocity, matter will be generated. If the acceleration is enough, mass is transfered into the past…keeping universe nucleous mass estable…this happens continuously, and this is the reason for the ilusion of the universe expansion… NOTE: The pictures are the light focused on the pyramid. From the top of the pyramid (from lower to higher density). And from underground pyramid (from higher to lower density). The white plastic was used as a projection screen. In the first pictures, pyramid is above it and light enters from underground, forming the circular shape when top viewed. In the other photos, the prisma is up-side-down, with light entering from the top. The patterns on the projected light seems as a flower then…or even, a galaxy shape, depending on the angles of light focus…:-) You should see a cross on the photos, but …

IMAX: Cosmic Voyage HD pt 4/4 (Narrated by Morgan Freeman)

Posted by SpaceMan in Hubble Space Telescope on 10 3rd, 2010 | no responses

Explore the Universe from its tiniest particle to its greatest expanse. Cosmic Voyage begins on Earth, firmly grounded in human perspective, and asks a fascinating question: Where exactly do we stand in the vastness of the cosmos? Where, between quark and quasar, is our place in space and time? You depart from Venice, where Galileo first demonstrated the use of the telescope. In 26 “”powers of ten”" stages, you ascend through our solar system and the Milky Way to the outer edges of the observable universe. Returning to Earth, you enter a drop of water and descend through sixteen ever-diminishing circles to the universe’s tiniest particle, a quark. The film features a “”cosmic zoom”" as viewers are transported across millions of years as galaxies collide, the solar system forms and life begins on a young planet Earth.

This is a video podcast I made for the podcast I run, The Big Bang and Creationism (my homepage can be found at lucretius1.blogspot.com/) It goes over the history of our universe, with some nice visuals, mostly courtesy of Wikipedia and the Hubble Space Telescope gallery site. I had to split it into two parts. This is part 1. Part two can be found: www.youtube.com
