sylvestor rants about stuff
BY Ethan Sacks DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Wednesday, March 10th 2010, 11:55 AM Trezzini/AP The Large Hadron Collider, opened in 2008, is designed to hurl sub-atomic particles into each other at speeds whose resulting release of energy can recreate some of the conditions of the Big Bang. Scientists have made a major discovery using the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest atom-smasher, a $5 billion feat of engineering built to re-create conditions in the universe...

Physicist Discovers How to Teleport Energy 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. Today, building on a number of papers published in the last year, Hotta outlines his idea and its implications. The process of teleportation involves making a measurement on each one an entangled pair of particles. He points out that the measurement...

The world's biggest atom-smasher could be jinxed by a future force to protect the world, scientists say / AP In a bizarre sci-fi theory, Danish physicist Dr Holger Bech Nielsen and Dr Masao Ninomiya from Japan claim the LHC startup has been delayed due to nature trying to prevent it from finding the elusive Higgs boson, or "God particle". Last year, Professor Brian Cox of Manchester University told the UK Telegraph that LHC scientists had received threatening emails and...
