thanks for reading over the past year and i hope you enjoy the new site categories me this blog is moving september 30 2011 ryan leave a comment well that s it everybody while wordpress com has been good to me i ve decided to move to a self hosted site this will be the final post for this site if you wish to keep receiving updates or want to become a brand spankin new subscriber update your rss feed the new feed is http feeds feedburner com aquantumofknowledge if you are an email subscriber you can go to the new website and enter in your email of course the new site is http www aquantumofknowledge com a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been reading over the past year hopefully you will all follow me to my new home happy reading note all previous posts will get linked to the new site so if you have linked to my site previously there should be no need to update anything categories me tags blog feedblitz ig nobel prize rss rss feed syndication and feeds wordpress com www ignobel prize winners september 29 2011 ryan leave a comment well the ignobel prizes wrapped up not too long ago scicurious was live blogging the event and there was also a live webcast and the winners are a group from europe won the physiology award for demonstrating that yawns are not contagious in red footed tortoises a group from japan won the award for chemistry by demonstrating the ideal amount of wasabi to put in the air in order to wake people up the purpose a wasabi fire alarm a couple of studies demonstrating how people make decisions when they really really have to pee won the award for medicine a group from oslo won the psychology prize for studying why people sigh the literature prize was given to john perry of stanford university for his theory of structured procrastination the biology prize was given to a couple guys hailing from canada australia and the usa for discovering a type of beetle that mates with stubby beer bottles a bunch of loons e g harold camping won the mathematics prize for predicting the world would end and being wrong the peace prize was awarded to arturas zuokas the mayor of vilnius lithuania for driving over an illegally parked luxury car with an armored tank the public safety prize was given to john senders of the university of toronto for conducting a driving safety study by having someone drive down the highway and have a visor repeatedly hit them in the face and finally and most importantly the physics prize was given to a group from france and the netherlands for studying why discus throwers get dizzy but hammer throwers don t very important with the 2012 olympics coming up ______________________________________________________________________ reminder this blog is moving the new location is http www

topic perhaps for the oatmeal i ve just joined google i m enjoying it so far though i still have to explore a lot that it has to offer you should add me to one of your circles cause as you can see on my google counter on the right hand side i m currently showing a big fat goose egg note if you are still on the old website you won t see this counter just one of the few perks of updating your

and sometimes its the only way to express the extent of their awesome this time lapse video shows how circling the planet looks from the international space station the next one is a time lapse of an

what are the igs you ask the ig nobel prizes honor achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think the prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual honor the imaginative and spur people s interest in science medicine and technology awarded by improbable research we will learn tomorrow whose real life research is the weirdest coolest and funniest for example last year s physics prize went to lianne parkin sheila williams and patricia priest of the university of otago new zealand for demonstrating that on icy footpaths in wintertime people slip and fall less often if they wear socks on the outside of their shoes here s the reference to prove it to hear about it live you can watch the webcast or you can watch scicurious one of my fav science bloggers live blog the event it is always entertaining and reminds us all why we love science ______________________________________________________________________ reminder this blog is moving the new location is http www

conference funny geophysics physics science fermilab double checking cern s and their own math september 27 2011 ryan 1 comment detector used in the minos experiment at fermilab of course the big news of the past week is the opera experiment s measurement of neutrino s travelling faster than light the paper is up on arxiv i ve gone through it and nothing jumps out as to what they could have possibly done wrong chad orzel on his blog uncertain principles has written a really nice summary of the paper and what the group actually did aside i just read how to teach physics to your dog by orzel and i would definitely recommend it to a reader with a budding interest in quantum mechanics now it looks like the us based fermilab is going to go over some old data to see if they can support or contradict the results of the opera experiment it was back in 2007 that fermilab announced the results of their minos main injector neutrino oscillation search experiment they also found neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light however they had a much larger margin of error than the opera experiment so they did not receive much attention now they are going to go back over their old data as well as add some new data to see what they find the minos experiment has plans to update their original 2007 measurement with a number of improvements including 10x more data wrote minos spokesperson jenny thomas a professor of particle physics at university college london in an email to tpm s idea lab we should have a result in 4 6 months as the data is already taken we just have to measure some of our delays more carefully she added tpm so in 6 months i know science is slow we will hopefully add another chapter to this fascinating story

sasso national laboratory in italy i ll have more to say about this story once i see the work on arxiv but i feel i should comment now because this story is exploding the interwebs and blogospheres are abuzz with the news that researchers at cern have measured the velocity of neutrinos which seem to be travelling faster than light neutrinos are nearly massless subatomic particles which have been known to travel near the speed of light but like all other things in the universe they are not supposed to be able to travel faster than light basically the experiment involves the creation of neutrinos at cern in geneva switzerland and the neutrinos travelling 730 km to a laboratory 1 400 meters underground in italy there an experiment called opera oscillation project with emulsion tracking apparatus detects those neutrinos and measures how quickly it took them to make the trip the neutrinos arrived 60 nanoseconds sooner than they should have this means they were travelling at a speed of about 299 800 km s which is slightly higher than the speed of light which is about 299 792 km s this discovery will rock the very foundation upon which modern physics is built seriously this is like the discovery that the world is round or wave particle duality it s a complete game changer if it s true like a lot of folks out there i am quite skeptical of this discovery think of it this way which of these two scenarios is more likely particles can travel faster than light completely re writing modern physics and decades of previous research or these guys made an innocent mistake now it is certainly possible that this discovery will turn out to be genuine however it is much more likely that there was some kind of error or misinterpretation which has led to this result i would like to point out that the researchers have revealed their work in the proper way they are excited but very skeptical themselves and are asking the academic community to review their work and try to find a flaw antonio ereditato a physicist at the university of bern in switzerland and opera s spokesman said in an interview whenever you are in these conditions then you have to go to the community this is science in action folks a group of physicists think they have discovered something awesome but they haven t started trumpeting their results like they have been absolutely confirmed no emails were leaked suggesting the discovery and they didn t go to some rogue publication to get their work in print prior to peer review beautiful isn t it i am very hopeful this turns out to be a genuine discovery i can t wait to read the papers and hear the response from the scientific community ______________________________________________________________________ reminder this blog is moving the
