  • Quantum Communication in Random Networks Wednesday, May 26, 2010 @ 7:33AMInternet, networks of connections between Hollywood actors, etc, are examples of complex networks, whose properties have been intensively studied in recent times. The small-world property (that everyone has a few-step connection to celebrities), for instance, is a prominent result derived in this field. A group of scientists around Professor Cirac, Director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum ...
  • Weird Stars! [Universe] Wednesday, May 19, 2010 @ 6:10PMWhat are stars? Despite their ubiquity in our universe, their praises often go unsung. A friend admitted to me once that he hadn't realized -- you know, really viscerally realized -- that our sun was itself a star until he was in his twenties. From that moment forward, however, every glance at the night sky bowled him over with such an emotion of vast familiarity that he could hardly stand to ...

  • Do we live inside a Wormhole's neck? [Starts With A Bang] Monday, April 12, 2010 @ 8:22PM"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx "While no one has proved that wormholes exist, that does not for a moment keep the more adventurous of thinkers from trying to figure how they might behave." - Michael Lemonick, Time magazine Wormholes. We've all heard the word before, and we're used to the concept (thanks to science fiction ...
  • Astronomers Find Black Holes Do Not Absorb Dark Matter Monday, March 22, 2010 @ 8:55AMThere's the common notion that black holes suck in everything in the nearby vicinity by exerting a strong gravitational influence on the matter, energy, and space surrounding them. But astronomers have found that the dark matter around black holes might be a different story. Somehow dark matter resists 'assimilation' into a black hole. (...)Read [...]
