The conversation thing

I have read today one of the most impressive article on universe and physics. I don’t recall having such a great intuition over the theory of everyting and the superstrings as the one today. It’s really impressive to me to have such an all-of-a-sudden crisp-clear understanding… by just using a metaphore.

I would say that definitely black holes are ripples of the outer dimensions, but for light and gravity I would have to think through…

The shortest dream - a film about a brief moment in time when things unveil. Everyone is a victim, and everyone is a prosecutor. Life is dense and beautiful.

An animation that made me laugh, the honest and childish laugh I have missed these days …

Not everyday we live to have this type of news. Japanese researchers at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan, the “Belle collaboration”, recently announced the discovery of an exotic new sub-atomic particle with non-zero electric charge. This particle, which the researchers have named Z(4430), does not fit into the usual scheme of “mesons”, combinations of a quark and an antiquark that are held together by the force of the strong interaction.

How about that ?

I have a friend in Holland doing her PhD in subatomic particles, and I remember we first met at a common friends party… the party was ok and we only got to talk late around midnight … until than I considered it to be a normal party, but after we got acquainted, for an hour or so we only discussed about mesons and quarks and stuff like that and two other friends were looking at us like at the discovery channel. nice party turnout, I’d say! Me, I just had info from physics in university and from my beloved Stephen Hawking’s books read like ten years ago… but Miruna was packed with up-to-date info on how research in this matter stands and where is it heading. Have to talk to her some time soon… keep you posted.

Now coming back to this new and shiny Z(4430), it reads there that it is produced together with the K-meson from decays of the B meson, and instantly decays into a psi-prime particle(Psi-prime) and a pi-meson. Cool… one question: What applications will it have in further research? Anyone taking a guess?

Thanks Adrian Buzatu for the info

CNN has decided to open an I-Report hub in Second Life, encouraging residents of Second Life to share their own “SL I-Reports” about events occurring within the virtual world.

This I-Report hub includes a news desk where CNN producers will hold weekly editorial discussions, and an amphitheater for larger in-world events, such as training sessions and appearances by CNN anchors and correspondents.

CNN’s first in-world training session will be held Tuesday, November 13, at 5 p.m. ET at the I-Report Hub , that is, if I’m guessing correcly, on the 14th around 1 o’clock in the afternoon.

Now that’s a tricky one. How do you see the dancer turning - clockwise or counter-clockwise?

The answer to this test is given in the Daily Telegraph page.

That was good! Could anyone see the counter-clockwise turn of the figure? I coundn’t as hard as I tried.

Later Edit: I could I could ! But I had to keep my head turned on the left side and squeeze my eyes to actually see. It’s marvellous to experience both the two perceptions.
