Yet Another Problem With the Big Bang Hypothesis

New research  by Dr Ashok  K.  Singal suggests that the solar system is hurtling through space at a speed much higher than previously thought. The newly calculated speed might prove that the universe is not uniform on a large scale, as is portrayed by the ...

Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is

Here at Science 2.0, but also elsewhere, a tsunami of articles on the speeding neutrino issue continues to scream for your attention. Their titles often promise a lot of spectacle, yet the truth of the matter is that nothing more than an anomaly has been r ...

Light Higgs Discovered And About To Destroy The Universe

The anticipation among physics enthusiasts is almost palpable: In three, four days from now, December the 13 th, the discovery of a rather light Higgs particle is going to be officially announced- well, at least the "observation" or whatever the ...

Fundamental Glossary For The Higgs Broadcast

As everybody knows, next Tuesday we will be treated with a CERN webcast of the analysis results on the Higgs boson searches by ATLAS and CMS. I imagine many of you will want to tune in, but fear you will not grasp much given the typically technical jargon ...

And Another Three-Sigma Evidence Of New Physics Goes...

It is so annoyingly sweet to be right, when being right means that one's job is not going to become more exciting in the near future... Today CDF published their analysis of CP violation in the Bs sector, where a very exciting three-sigma deviation fr ...

How Wrong Can Lubos Be?

Every once in a while Lubos pleases with one of his straight-leg tackles, as he deals with stuff he shouldn't be a-messing with (I am still giggling at an incident of a few years ago, when he publically apologized after a week of nonsense). Today it&# ...

Deviations From The Born Rule

  After recent claims by Henry Stapp, I'd like to write about his violations of the Born Rule. For those who don't know quantum mechanics the laws come in two parts. First Unitary Evoluation. We start a set of amplitudes for a how likely each of ...

Spinning the Interaction Story: Spin 2 (2 of 3)

The spin 2 story unfolds much like that for spin 1. The stories are so similar, I want to take a step back and take a big picture view. < Higgs digression > QED works so darn well because Maxwell's theory works so well. In Maxwell's EM, act ...
