A physicist re-created Galileo's famous experiment at the leaning tower of Pisa earlier this year. Science writer Dan Falk was there and made a video of the proceedings.

The Large Hadron Collider's have been cooled to their superconducting operating temperatures at 1.9 kelvin. The online charts of the temperatures show all eight sectors of the LHC cooled.

Yahoo Geocities is closing down, so i've had to move my introductory description of the Axial Forcee, to a new address at Yola.com. The pages are a bit to long, and have two many graphical elements to fit into a blog page. So go and read it there.

For three days last week, more than 250 scientists gathered at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland to discuss the future of European participation in the field of neutrino physics. The focus was on new accelerator-based neutrinos facilities to be built after 2015, and the R&D necessary over the next few years to determine the direction of neutrino research.

Fermilab has moved a step closer to constructing a new neutrino experiment. The Department of Energy has given "mission need" approval to a new Booster Neutrino Experiment called MicroBooNE. The experiment will look for potential anomalies in low-energy neutrino interactions, which were first reported by the MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab in 2007.

CERN is preparing the Large Hadron Collider for a restart in 2009. The first beam of the year is likely to be injected in mid-November. This will be followed by a short period of collisions at the injection energy of 450GeV per beam and a ramp in energy to 3.5TeV per beam. Following this, LHC physics will begin with collisions at this energy. The time from first injection to first high-energy collisions will be at least four weeks. However, the complexity of scheduling coupled with inevitable glitches in a machine of this complexity could lead to this process taking longer. The first high energy collisions will most likely occur at a date after mid-December 2009.

Four hundred years ago, Galileo was the first one to look at the sky with a telescope. About 100 years ago a new era for astrophysics began with the first astroparticle physics experiments that led to the discovery of cosmic rays. European physicists take the opportunity of the International Year of Astronomy to celebrate this anniversary.

These blog started because I produced my own theory of what the dark energy fluid is composed of , which required adding a new force to physics . Could the all ready know forces of physics create dark energy . Up to now , everyone thought the answer was no , dark energy was from something extra not in the Standard Model . Then last week Federico Urban and Ariel Zhitnitsky published a paper The QCD Nature of Dark Energy It does something miraculous , it explains dark energy using one of the know existing forces , namely the strong nuclear aka Color . force QCD or

On Monday, October 26, the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science will host a Symposium on Accelerators for America's Future in Washington, DC. The symposium--drawing participants from science, industry, medicine, and the national security community--will focus on challenges and opportunities in maximizing the potential of next-generation accelerator technologies to energize the U.S. economy, strengthen American competitiveness, and help the nation achieve more in science, industry, medicine, energy and the environment, and national security.

I’m releasing two papers that relate Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, spin-1/2, the generations of elementary fermions, their masses and mixing matrices, and their weak quantum numbers. I haven’t blogged anything about these because I’ve been so busy writing, but I should give a quick introduction to them.
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states that certain pairs of physical observables [...]
