Where Science and Buddhism Meet
Saturday, March 27th, 2010This two part series draws parallels between the basic tenants of quantum theory and the basic tenants of the Buddhist theory. The series also acts as a concise lesson on both topics.

EdgeScience Magazine 2
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Our teammates over at the Scociety for Scientific Exploration have released the second issue of their super dope (free) magazine EdgeScience.
Articles include: Study on Healing with Intention, Free Energy and Maxwell’s Demon, Super Athletes, and Dark Sands of Mars.
The Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) is a professional organization of scientists and scholars who study unusual and unexplained phenomena. The primary goal of the Society is to provide a professional forum for presentations, criticism, and debate concerning topics which are for various reasons ignored or studied inadequately within mainstream science. A secondary goal is to promote improved understanding of those factors that unnecessarily limit the scope of scientific inquiry, such as sociological constraints, restrictive world views, hidden theoretical assumptions,
and the temptation to convert prevailing theory into prevailing dogma. Topics under investigation cover a wide spectrum. At one end are apparent anomalies in well established disciplines. At the other, we find paradoxical phenomena that belong to no established discipline and therefore may offer the greatest potential for scientific advance and the expansion of human knowledge.

Physicists Discover How to Teleport Energy
Friday, February 5th, 2010
Using quantum entanglement (what else?) a system for teleporting not just electrons – but energy – has emerged.
Masahiro Hotta at Tohoku University in Japan has come up with a much more exotic idea. Why not use the same quantum principles to teleport energy?
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 on the first particle injects quantum energy into the system. He then shows that by carefully choosing the measurement to do on the second particle, it is possible to extract the original energy.
All this is possible because there are always quantum fluctuations in the energy of any particle. The teleportation process allows you to inject quantum energy at one point in the universe and then exploit quantum energy fluctuations to extract it from another point. Of course, the energy of the system as whole is unchanged.
Arthur C. Clarke’s three “laws” of prediction:
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

As of today, the LHC is officially colliding protons.
Now, at long last, CERN is heralding the first collisions inside the machine. Two beams of protons travelling at nearly the speed of light crashed together on Monday at 1322 GMT inside the ATLAS detector, one of the giant measuring devices the LHC will use to probe shrapnel from the collisions, according to CERN’s announcement. Further collisions occurred inside the LHC’s CMS and LHCb detectors.
“This is great news, the start of a fantastic era of physics – and hopefully discoveries – after 20 years’ work by the international community to build a machine and detectors of unprecedented complexity and performance,” said Fabiola Gianotti, a spokesperson for the ATLAS detector project.
The protons collided with 900 billion electron volts of energy (900 GeV), with 450 GeV supplied by each beam. The LHC is designed to allow collisions at much higher energies – all the way up to 14,000 GeV (14 TeV), or 7 TeV per beam.
Since time is a tricky thing and not everything happens simultaneously at all points on the globe, let’s check in with the most up to date internet news on the LHC:
Has the LHC destroyed the Earth yet?
Thanks to advanced aspects of quantum physics, today’s news is instantaneously stale, as we expected these headlines a year ago. Protons are out, let’s smash some muons.
