• The difference between Lust and Sokal

    Updated: 2013-01-31 05:31:00
    Read this paper, please. ead the abstract. Read the paper. Enjoy the first page. This is the kind of papers showing that string theorists have departed in another world and lost touch with reality.Nobody in his right mind would ever write such a text. This is a Sokal hoax in a physics journal. And it is ongoing. Sokal performed a hoax, he was healthy. Lust is convinced, he is sick.String theory is not about nature, not about reality, and not about a theory of everything. It is about a group of people in a shared fantasy world. What a tremendous suffering for all those involved. Who can help them?

  • BaBar searches for new physics in invisible decays

    Updated: 2013-01-30 00:00:00
    On the hunt for physics beyond the Standard Model, scientists recently searched BaBar data for evidence of invisible particles. Scientists analyzing data from the BaBar experiment, which operated at SLAC between 1999 and 2008, recently published the results of a search for signs of invisible particles: exotic bits of matter that interact so weakly with ordinary stuff they left no mark in the BaBar detector. In the process the researchers established much better limits on possible physics not contained within the Standard Model, which is currently the best explanation for the behavior of matter and the fundamental forces that shape it.

    The pursuit of dark matter and dark energy s one of the most exciting—and most hallenging—areas of science. Now researchers hink they’e beginning to close in. If you could use only 5 percent of the alphabet, you’d be stuck with the letter A. Five percent of a complete daily diet is a slice of dry toast.  Yet that’s all we have, or at least all we can perceive, of the place we call home. Less than 5 percent of the universe is ordinary matter made of quarks, electrons and neutrinos.

    Updated: 2013-01-25 17:59:17
    Physicists announced 30 years ago the discovery of the W boson, a particle that remains an important topic of research. January 25 marked the 30th anniversary of the discovery of the W boson, a fundamental piece of the Standard Model of particle physics and an important player in the formation of the universe. Together with the Z boson, the W is responsible for the weak force, one of four fundamental forces that govern the behavior of matter in our universe. Particles of matter interact by exchanging these bosons.

    Updated: 2013-01-15 22:09:00
    In the 1940s, researchers discovered that neutrons could serve as tools for measuring nuclear properties and determining the atomic and magnetic structures of materials. The first nuclear reactors, developed in the 1940s to produce fissionable materials for atomic weapons, paved the way for a new and intriguing research technique that led to a Nobel Prize and innovations in a number of fields in science and engineering. Called neutron diffraction, the technique is used today to understand, exploit, and improve the structural properties of a wide range of materials and objects, from viruses to high-temperature superconductors to turbine blades for jet engines.
