After spending many years thinking about and writing about quantum gravity theories both mine and those of others I have come to the conclusion that a theory like M-Theory is the way to go.  …

Today the Cornell arxiv features a paper by J. Aguilar Saavedra and F. Jouaquim, titled "A closer look at the possible CMS signal of a new gauge boson". As I read the title I initially felt somewhat…

Tomorrow's commercial refrigeration systems, such as those in supermarkets, could be cooled by carbon dioxide instead of hydrofluorocarbons. Hydrofluorocarbons are a greenhouse gas that is nearly 4,…

As I reported a couple of times in the course of the last three months, the ATLAS experiment (one of the two all-purpose experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider) has launched a challenge to…

As a quantum state collapses from a quantum superposition to a classical state or a different superposition, it will follow a path known as a quantum trajectory. For each start and end state there is…

UPDATE III is a rather important one.  There is a group at Cambridge which does some similar work to mine.  Great minds think alike, I guess. I have posted and revised a few times a paper…

In a different blog, Henry Brown made the following statement: As mentioned previously, a scalar gravity theory will not do what you want.  In particular, frame dragging effects rule out…

Everybody seems to be talking about the Kardashian index (call it K) these days. It is a rather useless number that you compute as a ratio between the number of twitter followers you have and the…

The other day I wrote a post reporting of the lowered expectations of SUSY enthusiasts, who now apparently look forward to seeing 2-sigma effects in the next Run data of the CMS and ATLAS…

In the world we commonly perceive around us, it takes only a slight disturbance for a pencil standing on its tip to fall in one direction or another, but in the quantum world it is possible in…
