This underground particle-smasher is also known as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It took thousands of scientists from over nearly 100 different countries $5 billion dollars and 30 years to plan and build. My question is: Why? Why did they do that??? Why spend so much money and ...
To truly understand the spookiness of quantum entanglement, it is important to first understandquantum superposition. Quantum superposition is the idea that particles exist in multiple states at once. When a measurement is performed, it is as if the particle selects one of the states in t...
One of the earliest string theory notions is the "ekpyrotic" universe, which comes from the Greek word for "conflagration," or fire. In this scenario, what we know as the Big Bang was sparked by something else happening before it — the Big Bang was not a beginning, but one part of ...
There are several manual checks you can do yourself to see if there has been any fraudulent activity on your ad campaigns. These don’t always give a 100% accurate reflection of what has been happening but can serve as a useful outline and possibly flag up some of the more obvious violati...
On 4 July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider announced they had each observed a new particle in the mass region around 126 GeV. This particle is consistent with the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model. The Higgs boson, as proposed within the Standar...
Sci-fI films often become a cluttered mass of convoluted plot twists and technical lingo. Maybe some people are more impressed if they don't understand what's happening. This film, however, keeps it to saner levels. Quote baradar_jackson ...
Giving an overview of what’s currently happening on regulation and AI in the US (as well as internationally). BACKUP – DON’T LIE, TELL ME A FAIRYTALE INSTEAD. I asked ChatGPT to “Make up a fairytale about Donald Trump” … below is the result. After that, I attempted to make it...
What is happening to the energy that is lost from a sample of a material as it is freezing into a solid from a liquid? What is the bipolar effect in condensed matter physics? What is the speed of an alpha particle? How can energy exist before matter (the big bang theory)...
The banner at the front entrance of the TPAC venue (Large preview) On arrival, I was given my Lanyard and a map of the various rooms where all the action was happening. My goal, for the three days I was attending, was to join in with as much accessibility type things as I could....
"Nobody really knows why all this is happening", said a oceanographer recently. "It may be a combination of overfishing, pollution, climate change and shifts in the food chain"[3]. A miniature sea with oceanic problems. What qualifies for a model case?
