Linking photons for light…

leave a comment »

Scientists do some perfectly amazing things.   Even if you don’t know what the heck photons are,  you can appreciate that a group of physicists coaxed individual photons to cozy up to each other and link,  thereby producing a  new form  of light.  For me,  the most appealing aspect is that they don’t know exactly why it works.

Shadow show…

leave a comment »

Skilled photographers use light and shadow much as fine artists do,  and the results can be absolutely stunning.   See for  yourself.

Was Einstein wrong?

leave a comment »

About  the speed  of light,  perhaps,  if this new theory pans out.  Einstein has  been wrong  before,  but none of this makes him any less of a genius.

Once again I should remind you that consensus is NOT science.   The more fervently you hear someone say “consensus says”  the more you can be sure that no actual,  provable,  repeatable,  evidence-based science stands behind the claim.   The entire rationale for climate science is based on consensus and outright lies so atrocious they can’t even qualify as junk science.

Guardian angel?

You can decide for yourself,  but looking at  the photograph,  it’s difficult not to agree,  and if that dying little girl found comfort in her angel,  I’m happy for her.

What was the weird  blue light  outside the Space Station,  and why did the live stream feed suddenly get cut?

Missing light mystery…

leave a comment »

Either 80% of  the light  in the observable universe is missing,  or the scientists’ calculations don’t work the way they’re supposed to.   Either way it’s an interesting puzzle,  isn’t it?

Stopping light…

leave a comment »

Scientists have managed  to stop light  for 60 seconds by trapping it in a crystal.   Bravo!   Now when can they stop ObamaCare?
