Not looking good for the Higgs

http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-09-...ggs-boson.html

Quote:

...physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, including a contingent of more than two dozen scientists from the University of California, San Diego, have ruled out most of the range of masses the Higgs could have, leaving just a narrow span where the elusive particle might be found. ...."If it exists, it has to be there. And if it's not there, it will be known to be science fiction by December," Vivek Sharma, a physics professor at UC San Diego told Science NOW

Thanks! My thesis was on the development of new photodetectors for future dark matter experiments. As far as HAARP, I don't know much about it, I just looked at wikipedia and it looks like some ionosphere experiments for communications (although I hear a lot of conspiracy theories that say HAARP this and HAARP that, lol I don't know)

Thorium anyone?

http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf62.html

I suppose an advance in fission is better than no advance in nuclear energy at all.

How does one breed an element?

Quote:

Thorium can also be used as a nuclear fuel through breeding to fissile uranium-233.

k2pilot · 09-15-2011, 03:42 PM

Beta decay, it makes all kinds of crazy things breed with each other.

I like the Star Wars reference.

Begin quote:

The existence of a world with a double sunset, as portrayed in the film Star Wars more than 30 years ago, is now scientific fact. NASA's Kepler mission has made the first unambiguous detection of a "circumbinary planet"--a planet orbiting two stars--200 light-years from Earth.

so dutchsinse's site is gone?

what about hosting in "the cloud" with multiple instance regeneration.
how do i get this guy back online. people need to know this.

"if you build it, they will come"

Who/what is dutchinse?

Pulsed quantum optomechanics can directly probe quantum mechanical behavior, which is seen as the central rippling in this representation of a Schrödinger-cat state (left). Under constant observation these quantum features are washed out (right). Credit: VCQ/University of Vienna

interesting trying to debunk dutchsinse..

but even if this scott bales did "donate" $200, that barely covers the cost of hosting for a year. especially if youre tyring to keep it up and running.
judging by how popular he was, his traffic would have surely exceeded the $200 mark.

i think this debunking is purposeful by someone else.. *ahem* disinformation

Planet found orbiting two stars.

Just to far out of habitable zone.

This is pretty cool. . .

A just-released video from NASA's Dawn spacecraft takes viewers on a beautiful flyover of the giant asteroid Vesta.

This is the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time. If you are able to put this on your TV, do it immediately

dwass325 · 09-18-2011, 09:19 PM

I'd just like to say I'm currently reading Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan and loving it.

Dan99 · 09-18-2011, 09:26 PM

I will have my first biochemistry test tomorrow base on amino acids, protein structures, acid/base and buffers, and myoglobin/hemoglobin.
