far from equilibrium far from equilibrium tuesday april 22 2008 an anatomically correct brain cake for the kitp brain program participants here s a nifty how to guide for baking your very own anatomically correct brain cake courtesy of wikihow posted by kitp08 at 8 08 pm 1 comment wednesday april 9 2008 the man behind the particle peter higgs the theoretical physicist who first postulated the existence of the elusive higgs boson is nicely profiled in this week s time as one might expect he is eagerly awaiting the start up of the lhc in hopes of having his little particle confirmed as a bona fide member of the standard model that s the good news the bad news is that rush limbaugh saw the time article and the obligatory media reference to to the god particle yeah yeah particle physicists hate the moniker and promptly used it to mock higgs telling higgs to look out his window at all the pretty trees and flowers in nature if he wants to see god this is why the god particle moniker sucks but it seems we re stuck with it and with limbaugh posted by kitp08 at 11 36 am no comments tuesday april 8 2008 kobe does einstein perhaps you ve noticed the latest in a series of nike commercials centered around a genius theme in which star athlete hoopster kobe bryant appears as various historical figures associated with brilliant innovation physics gets a nod in this new incarnation kobe appears as none other than albert einstein h t clifford at asymptotia you can see the complete video here and check out various still photos and some of the other genius kobe commercials at the main site posted by kitp08 at 1 09 pm no comments let s get critical since there s currently a kitp program in progress on the anatomy development and evolution on the brain i thought i d post a few links on some recently reported brainy news first there s an article in natur e on noise in the nervous system by a group of cambridge university scientists science writer carl zimmer who also blogs at the loom gives a nice rundown of the work in wired second the pseudonym y kfc at the arxiv blog writes about an intriguing new paper posted at arxiv by researchers at northwestern university the brain what is critical about it the basic hypothesis is that the brain is spontaneously posed at the border of a second order phase transition just like the transition a ferromagnetic material undergoes as it switches from a nonmagnetic phase kfc points out that this is a cool sounding idea that probably needs some additional development supporting experimental evidence but it s a nice example of physics and neuroscience working together at the cutting edge posted by kitp08 at 12 53 pm no comments sunday march 30 2008 accelerator in a bowl posted by kitp08 at 6 42 pm no comments friday march 28 2008 the first thing we do let s kill all the lawyers that timeless quotation from shakespeare s henry vi adequately expresses my current frustration at the news of a lawsuit that s just been filed in hawaii s us district court seeking a temporary restraining order against cern and its partners in building the lhc they want to postpone start up preparations for at least four months in order to reassess the collider s safety because you know it could destroy the word by creating mini black holes magnetic monopoles or convert all the matter in the universe into exotic strangelets cue exasperated eye rolling oh give me a break it s basically the latest round of fear mongering that always seems to accompany the start up of a new accelerator in fact one of the co plaintiffs is none other than former nuclear safety officer walter wagner who spearheaded the attempt to create panic surrounding brookhaven s relativistic heavy ion collider news flash to wagner rhic has been operating for a few years now the world has not yet ended wagner s concerns are nothing new to anyone who has followed the development of the lhc s design and construction over the last decade or more they have been fully and fairly considered by the best scientific minds in the high energy physics community who take their responsibility for safety very seriously and in fact an updated safety assessment the last document was released in 2003 has already been completed why bring the courts into it at all because wagner refuses to accept the scientific consensus on the issue the lhc has enough problems to overcome this year the last thing it needs is a frivolous lawsuit posted by kitp08 at 12 04 pm no comments wednesday march 26 2008 dual use technology for full sized version go here posted by kitp08 at 7 11 pm no comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom blog archive 2008 18 april 4 an anatomically correct brain cake the man behind the particle kobe does einstein let s get critical march 10 february 4 contributors kitp08 prince kitp08
