toward a unified description of dark energy and dark matter

science daily — from various independent observations, cosmologists have established that ordinary matter, made of protons and neutrons, accounts for only 4% of the total energy content of the universe. the remaining 96% is made of puzzling ingredients dark matter and dark energy. researchers at the laboratory universe and theories from the observatory of paris and the belgian fonds de la recherche scientifique have recently suggested the abnormally weighting energy (awe) hypothesis to describe the dark side of the universe as a revolutionary aspect of gravitational physics.

in the past decade, cosmology has entered an era of high precision, and in the future it may become a unique laboratory to test theories of fundamental physics, from gravitation laws to microphysics. amongst the many questions raised by this science in turmoil, one of the most important is indisputably the one of the energy content of the universe. knowing what the universe is precisely made of, and in which proportions, allows not only to determine its age but also to reconstruct the history, to predict its past and future. in fact in the attempt to solve this question cosmologists have made two of the most promising discoveries in the history of modern physics: the existence of dark matter and dark energy.

mike emery: enlightenment and the uniform field concept

mike emery is figuring out the workings of the universe. he does it by taking clues from "both sides of the fence", from religion and meditation on the one hand and from the very frontiers of physics on the other. on his way to enlightenment, mike is leaving a trail of written essays where he orders his own thoughts, as much as communicating them to friends and colleagues. the purpose of this article is to provide a space where those essays can be collected and made available. those of you who are interested in far-out ideas also have a space to leave messages and comments - at the end of the article - and get in contact with one another in this virtual world.

i have come to know mike through this medium of marvelously interconnected thought which is the internet, and have appreciated his unconventional views. mike's essays are provocative; they bring interesting trains of thought together, they shake convention and are far ahead of what many others have to offer. mike is one of those people for whom the artificial division of science and religion has already ceased to exist. in that sense, he is a forerunner, a herald of things to come, as we transform mankind into a living organism in its own right.

mike is no ivory tower man. he was a cowboy having fun on montana ranches and rodeos, then became a champion skier and got into all manner of trouble in his college days. at one time he was into commercial fishing - tough business - and later owned several businesses in alaska during the heyday of the oil fever. his subsequent search led him through free energy, healing, meditation, anti-aging and complementary medicine to the edges of physics and back.

but let me not ruin the fun by telling it all and perhaps botching things up in the process. here is an introduction provided by mike, and at the end you can find a growing list of links to his essays. check back, as there will be updates as more old and new essays get posted.

einstein was right: space and time bend


ninety years after he expounded his famous theory, a $700m nasa probe has proved that the universe behaves as he said. now the race is on to show that the other half of relativity also works

the observer

under his name in the oxford english dictionary is the simple definition: genius. yet for decades physicists have been asking the question: did albert einstein get it wrong? after half a century, seven cancellations and $700m, a mission to test his theory about the universe has finally confirmed that the man was a mastermind - or at least half proved it.

the early results from gravity probe b, one of nasa's most complicated satellites, confirmed yesterday 'to a precision of better than 1 per cent' the assertion einstein made 90 years ago - that an object such as the earth does indeed distort the fabric of space and time.

amazing

i've heard about this for a while in relation to talk over the aether

the best and simplest way i've heard it put it;

all natural waves have a material to wave through. sound goes through air, earthquakes go through ground, ect.

so why not light? indeed, light does wave through something: the aether.

and, indeed gravity is simply objects themselves distorting the fabric of spacetime.

mathematician suggests extra dimensions are time-like
by lisa zyga

the analytical structure underlying the spinorial theory can be represented visually. the structure is a xi-transform, which moves between the three spaces in the directions given by the bendings of the upper case greek letter xi. the distorted squares represent the wave operator. the product of a wave operator and a xi transform, taken in any order, is zero. image credit: erin sparling.

in a recent study, mathematician george sparling of the university of pittsburgh examines a fundamental question pondered since the time of pythagoras, and still vexing scientists today: what is the nature of space and time? after analyzing different perspectives, sparling offers an alternative idea: space-time may have six dimensions, with the extra two being time-like.

if you assume existence is infinite, then the number of directions any object is moving in could also be infinite, or to be less theoretical, our movement could approach the infintite given the possibility that different areas, or layers of existence,(purely spatially) could be moving in different directions. this continuum would continue down to the quantum level and again presumably further into the infintesimal. just a thought.

dodging the arrow of time?
posted: tuesday, february 02, 2010 6:00 pm by alan boyle

the last season of "lost" might clear up some fictional time-travel mysteries, but the true mysteries of time can be found in a new book titled "from eternity to here."

if the laws of physics are reversible, why can we change the future - but not the past? why is it virtually impossible to unscramble an egg, or unstir the cream in our cup of coffee? why does the arrow of time move in only one direction?

in the world of "lost," the arrow of time gets tied up in knots: a mother shoots her time-traveling son before he was born ... a plane-crash survivor nearly kills a kid who grows up to enlist him as an assassin. virtually everyone on the island gets zapped from the present to the past and the future when somebody pushes a creaky old wheel through a glowing slice of weird electromagnetic energy.

so far, however, the show hasn't run into the kinds of paradoxes that plague science-fiction tales ranging from "the twilight zone" to the latest "star trek" movie. nobody goes back and kills hitler to head off the holocaust. nobody kills his mother before he's born. as one character says, "whatever happened, happened."

first, they teleported photons, then atoms and ions. now one physicist has worked out how to do it with energy, a technique that has profound implications for the future of physics.

in 1993, charlie bennett at ibm's watson research center in new york state and a few pals showed how to transmit quantum information from one point in space to another without traversing the intervening space.

the technique relies on the strange quantum phenomenon called entanglement, in which two particles share the same existence. this deep connection means that a measurement on one particle immediately influences the other, even though they are light-years apart. bennett and company worked out how to exploit this to send information. (the influence between the particles may be immediate, but the process does not violate relativity because some informatiom has to be sent classically at the speed of light.) they called the technique teleportation.

in the liquid state, every water molecule fleetingly interacts with its four nearest neighbors, forming a tetrahedron, explains kumar. these tetrahedrons, however, are slightly imperfect and the degree to which they are changes as temperature and pressure change, ultimately affecting which individual water molecules partner up with each other. kumar found that it is the fluctuations in the degree of tetrahedrality that contribute most to one of water’s most notable and valuable features — its capacity to resist heating or cooling and thereby regulating and maintaining the temperature of biological systems.

the team began by looking at wells containing six large balls. these tend to form clusters with either a symmetrical octahedron shape or a less symmetric complex of three tetrahedrons. although both shapes have 12 bonds between balls, which means that they have exactly the same energy, the high-entropy tri-tetrahedron was found to be about 20 times more common than its more symmetric counterpart.
