Particle Physics had a short fling with Numerology in its young years, but the two have never met again since then. TD

It happens in the best families, so they say. Two experiments work 24/7 to produce an improved result on the Higgs search, and the result is disappointing, to say the least. I am talking about the…

I recently discussed here the Tevatron results of searches for new Z bosons in electron-positron or dimuon samples collected by CDF and DZERO, pointing out that there seem to be a couple of…

The decision to pursue physics in my tertiary years sprang from a rather naive mindset of my youth: the belief that this constantly evolving field had cracked open the chest of mysteries that we…

Today CNN features a short video with an interview to Professor Nielsen, the mastermind behind the whole "Higgs comes back from the future to prevent its own creation" crap.  I wrote about the…

Friday, October 16, 2009 Consciousness and the brain - my response to you tube's "Quantum Phyics" welcome to the martrix Bill A Peoples October 16 at 4:08pm AFTER SPELL CHECK LOL--- Max Planck…

The “Om” from you tube is profoundly pleasant. I agree with the traditions, thoughts and expressions presented here. Obviously based on Sanskrit’s from Buddhism and Hinduism I still agree with the…

What is the most important object physicists manipulate everyday? My answer with no hesitation is : the Lagrangian ! What is it? simply the object that contain everything one need to know about a…

Last May the CDF collaboration published their observation of the  baryon, a particle made by a very exotic "bss" quark triplet. The CDF result came almost one year after a similar measurement…

Today I got access to a collection of very cool pictures of the CMS detector, one of the two experiments designed and built to study proton-proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at…
