NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC– It’s no illusion: Science has found a way to make not just objects but entire events disappear, experts say. According to new research by British physicists, it’s theoretically possible to create a material that can hide an entire bank heist from human eyes and surveillance cameras. “The concepts are basically quite simple,” said Paul Kinsler, a physicist at … Read More
RAW STORY– Scientists said Sunday they had trapped and stored antihydrogen atoms for a record 16 minutes, a stunning technical feat that promises deeper insights into the mysteries of antimatter.Particles and anti-particles annihilate each other in a small flash of energy when they collide.At the moment of the big bang, nearly 14 billion years ago, matter and antimatter are thought … Read More
GUARDIAN– Imagine if a cold cup of coffee spontaneously heated up as you watched. Or a cracked pane of glass suddenly un-broke. According to physicist Lorenzo Maccone at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, you see things like this all the time – you just don’t remember. In a paper published last week in Physical Review Letters, he attempts to provide … Read More
PHYSORG– Early data from a Columbia-led dark matter experiment rule out recent hints by other scientists who say they have found the elusive particle that holds the universe together. The findings show that dark matter, which is believed to make up 83 percent of the matter in the universe, is more elusive than many had hoped. “Dark matter particles continue … Read More
HARPER COLLINS REVIEW– Today nearly everyone is familiar with holograms, three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Now, two of the world’s most eminent thinkers — University of London physicists David Bohm, a former protege of Einstein’s and one of the world’s most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, one of the architects of … Read More
