DSOM Post NOVA's Very Excellent and Elegant Universe on PBS

Last night's excursions into the very intricate and convoluted physics world of String Theory was a Tour De Force.  Reminisent of the Ease and Splendor of Carl Sagan's  Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.  

String Theory still boggles the mind, even to our most brilliant mathematicians, it appears an enigma, full of promise and hope, 

yet still out of reach of our most powerful Colliders.

  

And numbers that don't Add-Up in a single dimensional universe.  

Brian Greene, the Host and Guide, is a worthy successor 

to the charm and grace that was Carl Sagan.

It was a Very Excellent Program.

DSOM Post Neutrinos STILL Faster than Light

It Seems You Just Can't Slow Those 

 

Little Neutrinos Down

One of the most staggering results in physics – that neutrinos may go faster than light – has not gone away with two further weeks of observations. The researchers behind the jaw-dropping finding are now confident enough in the result that they are submitting it to a peer-reviewed journal.

DSoM Post New Lightning-Fast, Efficient Nanoscale Data Transmission

From:  http://www.sciencedaily.com



 

ScienceDaily (Nov. 15, 2011) — A team at Stanford's School of Engineering has demonstrated an ultrafast nanoscale light-emitting diode (LED) that is orders of magnitude lower in power consumption than today's laser-based systems and is able to transmit data at the very rapid rate of 10 billion bits per second.

The researchers say it is a major step forward in providing a practical ultrafast, low-power light source for on-chip data transmission.
