Ansible Today: Entanglement action measured at 10,000x light speed

Posted on March 7, 2013 by

Chinese Physicists Measure Speed of “Spooky Action At a Distance” The group claims that they have measured that entangled photons interact with each other at speed that is at least ten thousand times the speed of light. This modifies a … Continue reading →

Become an amateur quantum mechanic

Posted on October 22, 2012 by

Imagine my delight this morning when I came across a blog on Scientific American talking about a new book hand’s on quantum physics experiments that could done at home. The title is “Exploring Quantum Physics Through Hands-On Projects” and it’s written by David Prutchi and his daughter Shanni Prutchi. Continue reading →

Bad science on the rise

Posted on April 18, 2012 by

The New York Times reports this week on the rising rates of papers appearing in peer-refereed journals that are being withdrawn. You withdraw a paper for two reasons generally. You either made a mistake in your scientific reasoning or someone … Continue reading →

Photon heralds extend entanglement

Posted on March 6, 2012 by

Quantum Entanglement should be an incredibly useful tool for communications. Though it won’t ever become an ansible, or even the basis for subspace radio, the ability to communicate through entangled pairs of quantum particles would, in theory, create a situation … Continue reading →

Dark matter blob misbehaving

Posted on March 3, 2012 by

Well, this is interesting… Just when cosmologists were starting to arrive at a consensus about the reality of Dark Matter and a sense of how it drives cosmic evolution, observations of Abell 520 completely contradict what people expect. The Dark Matter seems to be having no gravitation effect on galactic trajectories at all. Continue reading →

The Search for the “God-like” Higgs

Posted on January 20, 2012 by

The possibility that the Higgs won’t be found is worth reflecting on. Because the furor that would result shows the difference between the scientific method and religious practice. Science is always striving to find new and more successful ways to view the world. And when something is wrong, it means that whole existing edifice is supposed to be tossed aside and a new one created. Woe to any philosophy or theology that depends on the structures being discarded. Continue reading →

FTL Neutrinos seen again in tweaked setup

Posted on November 18, 2011 by

Having published results earlier this Fall that neutrinos were observed apparently traveling faster than the speed of light, the CERN has made some modifications to their setup based on others critiques and re-run their experiment. They observe the same effect. … Continue reading →

Physics and Philosophy

Posted on September 27, 2011 by

I’ve developed quite a love of philosophy. It comes, surprisingly enough, not from my interest in Theology but from my background in Physics. To tell the truth, my interest in Theology grew out of my interest in Philosophy. I first … Continue reading →
