The reason why CERN and OPERA recoded faster than light neutrinos may have been found. It turns out a cable between a GPS receiver and the computer that recorded the rime was malfunctioning causing 60 nanosecond delay in the signal, making the neutrinos seem to arrive 60 nanoseconds sooner than they did.
The high priest of Atheism Richard Dawkins has admitted that might exist after all. It is mainly a case that Dawkins is not 100% certain that He does not exist but coming from Dawkins it almost qualifies as a testimony of faith.
Dawkins thinks it highly unlikely that God exists but not that it’s defined that He does not. I wonder how he calculated those odds.
Intermediate-mass Black Hole Discovered The first ever intermediate-mass black hole has been discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope. This Black hole is 290,000,000 light-years on the edge of the galaxy ESO 243-49. Doubted HLX-1 and has a mass of aproximetly 20,000 solar masses.
Water-World Found Confermation of a relativly near by planet with more water than the Earth. Astronomers using the Hubble space telescope have confirmed that a large portion the exoplanet GJ 1214b is water. This was done because they caught the planet while moving between us and its star. This allowed them to make measurements of the planets atmosphere. These measurements showed that GJ 1214b has a dense atmosphere water vapor. The planet probably has more water than Earth consisting largely of what is called hot ice or superfluid water which results from extremely high temperatures and pressures. As interesting as this discovery is, it is too early to get existed about the possibilities of E.T. because the planet is too warm for life.
I have posted material on the quantum mechanics Double Slit Experiment on my two sites and youtube. This is among the strangest experiments in all of physics. The results of this experiment show that matter only behaves like material objects when being observed other wise it exists only as waves of possibilities.
This is actually a total falsification of materialism because the so called material world is immaterial at most fundamental level. Also it is totally consistent with God as the creator of the universes because the universe’s’ existence would have come from His thoughts.
The double slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and it is definitely the most infamous. This experiment shooting light or other subatomic particles such electrons a screen with two slits and that it where things get strange.
When the double slit experiment is done with pure waves it produces an interference pattern. On the other hand pure particles like bullets would tend to produce two lines behind the slits. However subatomic particles like photons and electrons produce a wave like interference pattern, even when shot one at a time. It is as though each particle goes through both slits at the same time.
To make things even stranger dose not stop there because when detectors are put in place to see which slit each particle actually goes through their behavior changes producing only the two lines like bullets would.
Even stranger when the detectors are on but no data is recorded the result is the wave like interference pattern. Suggesting that it is the conscience act of observing that actually changes the result.
Such a result is consistent with the Biblical view of God as creator. From a Biblical view point the universe would have resulted from God’s consciousness and so it should not be much of a surprise that we would find such a result.
flight of Friendship 7 - First American in Obit The above link is to a NASA documentary video about America’s first manned orbital flight. John Glenn was aboard the Friendship 7 Mercury capsule which was launched on top of an Atlas rocket. This flight occurred 50 years ago to day (2/20/2012) on February 20 1962.
Mercury and NASA’s Messenger spacecraft The Messenger spacecraft shows that Mercury does not conform to previous theory. Messenger’s measurements of Mercury’s magnetic field showed that it was a good fit to Dr. Russell Humphreys' Dynamic Decay theory of planetary magnetic fields. Not only has Mercury’s magnetic field decayed as predicted but Dynamic Decay theory but the theory easily explains why.
A new discovery has aided our understanding the insides of planets. suggesting that so called supper Earths could have significantly different internal structures from that of the Earth. The result of is that these called supper Earths could be significantly denser than previously thought. Meaning that they would be smaller in diameter, giving them a higher surface gravity making them even less hospitable to life,
Chromosomes Alignment in a Dividing Cell This presents new evidence of the high degree of organized complexity found in a living cell. The process and actions involved with these microtubules is so precise that it has to be a well controlled process to work so well. This provides yet another reason why abiogenesis is thermodynamically impossible.
Visualizing the Speed of Light MIT haz revolutionised imaging systems with one that takes visual data at an astounding rate of 1,000, 000,000,000 frames / second this means that it can capture light traveling across an object.
Science and Religion Science and religion tend to be seenn as rivals because establishment science and religion some times have conflicts. The occures because the Scientific Establishment refuses to allow any consideration of God or the supernatural. They seem to really want it to be science vs religion as opposed to than Science and religion. When allowed to do so science and religion can compliment each other.
The Double Slit Experiment works based on the dual wave andparticle nature of subatomic particles. While it is a simple experiment it has produced some of the strangest experimental results of quantum mechanics.
Vegetative State Patients Communicate through MRI Recently a MRI study of vegetative state patients showed the ability to communicate by way of the MRI by way of yes and no answers. This shows what some people have thought all along that at least some of these patients still have a conscious existence but simply lack the ability to break through and communicate. This vindicates the claims of families that their vegetative state family member was showing signs of responding to them. Signs such has these have normally been dismissed by doctors as being nothing but reflect actions but this study indicates that the families were right after all.
I have finished and uploaded to my web sites pages on thermodynamics and the orgin of life. It also includes a 25 minute YouTube vido on the topic a record for me.
CERN’s measurements of neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light immediately started speculation that it showed a problem with Special Relativity. However this speculation is exaggerated.since not being able to travel at or faster than the speed of light only applies to particles with a real non zero rest mass. A particle like a photon that has a zero rest mass travels at the speed of light. Particles that travel faster than light have been speculated for years under the name tachyons. Tachyons would have a negative imaginary rest mass giving it a real non zero mass at speeds above the speed of light. It would however be incapable of being decelerated to the speed of light below it.
Launch of the 1st Dragon Spacecraft This is a link to a video of SpaceX’s second Falcon 9 launch and the first to put a functioning Dragon capsule into Earth orbit. The Dragon capsule orbited the earth twice before splashing down off the coast of Mexico for recovery. This was the first time that a private company had launched a capsule into orbit, brought it through reentry and recovered it. Previously this had only been accomplished by a few nations. Next SpaceX plans a test flight to the International Space station. Eventually it is hoped the Dragon will carry both cargo and crews to the ISS.
Quantum Levitation This is a link to two videos demonstrating Quantum Levitation. This yet another strange affect of quantum mechanics seen on the macroscopic level. It involves suspending a superconducting disc above or below permanent magnets. The magnetic field becomes locked inside the superconductor in a phenomenon known as Quantum Trapping..
Interstellar Boundary Explorer is in Earthorbits at a round 200, 0000 miles and is studying the edge the solar system. IBEX has made some interesting discoveries about the make up of interstellar gases. One of the biggest surprises is that there is less oxygen interstellar gases as compared to other gases like neon than in the solar system. The reason why this is the case is still a puzzle but it is consistent with creation science idea that the Earth and Solar System are special.
This is a video that provides evidence that the Meridiani Planum region of Mars landing area of the Rover Opportunity was flooded by a massive spill. With the area filled with highly acidic water.
