Large Telescopes And Why We Need Them - Professor Carolin Crawford

   

Large Telescopes And Why We Need Them - Professor Carolin Crawford



Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 6 Ιουν 2012
Beyond
the Solar System, all astronomers have to work with is the light that
falls to the Earth from distant cosmic objects. Newer, larger telescopes
are always needed to boost scientific progress, and the next generation
of facilities - whether the 42m diameter optical-infrared Extremely
Large Telescope, or the Square Kilometre Array of radio dishes - will
represent a huge advance. We shall look at the science driving the need
for such large telescopes, through history and to the present-day and
beyond. Many scientific and engineering challenges are involved in the
design and construction of the largest telescopes and their mirrors, and
technological developments will be essential to their success.

The Dark Side of Time





Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 10 Ιουλ 2013
Is space-time fragmented, segmented into quantized bits of information, or causal sets?

Or is space-time smooth and continuous, with curves, bends, and warps; just as Einstein had predicted?

Is
what we call space-time even part of objective reality or is it just a
mathematical construct that appeals to our perceptions?

The
answer could be all of the above depending on our frame of reference.
When we apply Temporal Mechanics to Physics, it appears that there are
underlying aspects to Relativity that subtly show up in Quantum
Mechanics as extra dimensions of time.

Obsolete points-of-view
regarding the nature of time and relative frames of reference may be at
the center of the mismatch between Quantum Mechanics and General
Relativity.

Most physics theories tend to have a unique premise
in common: one time dimension. In fact, there is a growing consensus
that time is just an illusion.

Yet, applying extra dimensions to
time can successfully modify modern physics without violating the
conservation laws long held to be true. Modern notions of quantum
gravity and curved space-time can successfully be replaced with an
infinitude of relative frames of reference, progressing and regressing
though infinite series of relations, which imply the existence of
multidimensional time.

Theory of DNA Science - The code from GOD
http://www.advexon.com
What is DNA?
DNA,
or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and
almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person's body has the
same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called
nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the
mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).
The
information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases:
adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA
consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those
bases are the same in all people. The order, or sequence, of these bases
determines the information available for building and maintaining an
organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a
certain order to form words and sentences.
DNA bases pair up with
each other, A with T and C with G, to form units called base pairs. Each
base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule.
Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide.
Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a
double helix. The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a
ladder, with the base pairs forming the ladder's rungs and the sugar and
phosphate molecules forming the vertical sidepieces of the ladder.
An
important property of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of
itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern
for duplicating the sequence of bases. This is critical when cells
divide because each new cell needs to have an exact copy of the DNA
present in the old cell.

The Unification of Physics: The Quest for a Theory of Everything

  

The Unification of Physics: The Quest for a Theory of Everything





Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 15 Δεκ 2014
The
holy grail of physics has been to merge each of its fundamental
branches into a unified “theory of everything” that would explain the
functioning and existence of the universe. The last step toward this
goal is to reconcile general relativity with the principles of quantum
mechanics, a quest that has thus far eluded physicists. Will physics
ever be able to develop an all-encompassing theory, or should we simply
acknowledge that science will always have inherent limitations as to
what can be known? Should new theories be validated solely on the basis
of calculations that can never be empirically tested? Can we ever truly
grasp the implications of modern physics when the basic laws of nature
do not always operate according to our standard paradigms?

Featuring physicists Katherine Freese, Marcelo Gleiser, and Max Tegmark. Hosted by Steve Paulson.

Science Documentary: Nanotechnology,Quantum Computers, Cyborg Anthropology a future tech documentary

All
things we see are made up of atoms. The study of, and the ability to
control, those atoms and molecules is through the field of nanoscience
and nanotechnology. The scale of things on the nano scale are smaller
than the width of a human hair.

Nanotechnology has been used in various fields such as computer science and engineering, physics, chemistry and biology.

Flexible electronics and wearable electronics are among the many growing fields that owe their existence to nanotechnology.
Graphene
is a nano material that is a conductive sheet of very thin, but very
strong carbon. It is transparent, but is also very lightweight.
Graphene is one of the most promising nano materials available to
scientists today.

The second portion of this video covers Quantum
Computing. A quantum computer is an extremely fast computer. The
processing power of a quantum computer is far greater than that of
classical computers. Computers read information that are coded in bits,
which are represented by 0's and 1's. A classical computer can process
only one bit at a time, either a 0 or a 1. A Quantum computer, has
quantum bits, or qbits, and a qbit can be a 0 and 1 at the same time.

The
next portion of the video covers cyborg anthropology and the
evaporation of the interface. If you use a cell phone or manipulate a
computer or tablet, you would be considered a low tech cyborg.

A
cyborg is an organism that has had certain outside components added to
it in order for that organism to be able to fit in to its environment.

The
next step in the evolution of humans as cyborgs would be the
evaporation of the interface. Soon it will be possible to do away with
our need to interface with technology, because the technology will be
able to sense our needs and react accordingly, without the need to push a
button, or manipulate the device in any way.

Similarly to the
way that primitive tools enhanced humans ability to hunt, and an
automobile enhanced our ability to move and travel faster without
wasting our energy, the microprocessor is enhancing human cognitive
capacity.

Quantum Gravity and Superconductivity, electrical potential is linked to...



Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 18 Ιουλ 2013
Because
superconductivity is formed by the dynamics of quantum mechanics we
need a deeper understanding of quantum physics to explain this.
Too
explain why the complete collapse of magnetic field lines causes such
spectacular effect causing the annihilation of gravity in the reference
frame of the experiment.
One explanation is that gravity is a
secondary force to the EM force. Because the light photon of quantum
mechanics is the carrier of the EM force this could link gravity and
quantum physics giving us what we could call quantum gravity!
But
these theories describe some of the effects of superconductivity without
giving us an objective explanation of these effects that exists within
the conventional Understanding of superconductivity.
Superconductivity does not just create Levitation defying the gravitational pull of the whole Earth.
There are forces of attraction called magnetic pinning locking the two objects together.
As the temperature approaches absolute zero the entropy reaches its minimum value.
It is as though they are frozen in time within their own reference frame.

John
Martinis visited Google LA to give a tech talk: "Design of a
Superconducting Quantum Computer." This talk took place on October 15,
2013.

Bio:

John M. Martinis attended the University of
California at Berkeley from 1976 to 1987, where he received two degrees
in Physics: B.S. (1980) and Ph.D. (1987). His thesis research focused on
macroscopic quantum tunneling in Josephson Junctions. After completing a
post-doctoral position at the Commisiariat Energie Atomic in Saclay,
France, he joined the Electromagnetic Technology division at NIST in
Boulder. At NIST he was involved in understanding the basic physics of
the Coulomb Blockade, and worked to use this phenomenon to make a new
fundamental electrical standard based on counting electrons. While at
NIST he also invented microcalorimeters based on superconducting sensors
for x-ray microanalysis and astrophysics. In June of 2004 he moved to
the University of California, Santa Barbara where he currently holds the
Worster Chair. At UCSB, he has continued work on quantum computation.
Along with Andrew Cleland, he was awarded in 2010 the AAAS science
breakthrough of the year for work showing quantum behavior of a
mechanical oscillator.

Abstract:

Superconducting quantum
computing is now at an important crossroad, where "proof of concept"
experiments involving small numbers of qubits can be transitioned to
more challenging and systematic approaches that could actually lead to
building a quantum computer. Our optimism is based on two recent
developments: a new hardware architecture for error detection based on
"surface codes" [1], and recent improvements in the coherence of
superconducting qubits [2]. I will explain how the surface code is a
major advance for quantum computing, as it allows one to use qubits with
realistic fidelities, and has a connection architecture that is
compatible with integrated circuit technology. Additionally, the surface
code allows quantum error detection to be understood using simple
principles. I will also discuss how the hardware characteristics of
superconducting qubits map into this architecture, and review recent
results that suggest gate errors can be reduced to below that needed for
the error detection threshold.

BCS THEORY -- BCS THEORY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY

BCS
Theory is based on interaction of two electrons through the interaction
of two electrons through the intermediary of photons. When an electron
approaches an ion in the lattice, there is a coulomb attraction between
the electron and the lattice ion. This produces a lattice distortion
which causes increases in the density of ions in the region of
distortion. The higher density of ions in the distorted region attracts
another electron. Thus a free electron extorts attractive force on
another electron through phonons which are quanta of lattice vibration.

There
are many superconductivity demos featuring levitation. Unfortunately,
most are either not explained or wrongly explained as lenz's law. This
video gives a 5 minute explanation of the Meissner Effect and
Superconductivity, giving a summary of BCS theory. Hopefully, by
watching this, you will understand the difference between
superconductors and normal metals.

PROGRAM: STRONGLY CORRELATED SYSTEMS: FROM MODELS TO MATERIALS

DATES: Monday 06 Jan, 2014 - Friday 17 Jan, 2014

VENUE: Department of Physics, IISc Campus, Bangalore

PROGRAM LINK : http://www.icts.res.in/program/MTM2014

The
realistic description of materials with strong electron-electron
interactions is one of the challenges of modern condensed matter
physics. Such a realistic description on one hand requires
non-perturbative many body approaches, and on the other hand requires
model Hamiltonian with material specific details offered by density
functional theory (DFT). Mastering these novel techniques requires a
wide background, ranging from DFT to model building and non-perturbative
many body approaches such as Quantum Monte Carlo. During the last few
years a major breakthrough came with the development of the
DFT+Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DFT+DMFT) method. In this approach,
conventional ab-initio schemes based on DFT are combined with a modern
many-body approach, the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). In the DMFT
method the full many body problem of solid state physics is mapped onto a
quantum impurity model related by a self-consistency condition and the
resulting impurity model is solved using non-perturbative many body
techniques.

The present program has this circle of ideas as its
focus. It is built around three Chandrasekhar lectures to be delivered
by Prof A. Georges. In addition to these lectures there will be a
school, divided into two parts, and a discussion meeting, scheduled
between the two parts of the school, in which recent theoretical and
experimental results on strongly correlated materials will be discussed
by leading experts from India and abroad.

The school will be devoted to the following topics.

School Part I : Jan 6 -- Jan 9, 2014

a) Basic Density Functional Theory (DFT) and basis sets

b) Wannier functions




c) An introduction to many-body methods and Quantum Monte Carlo

d) Constrained LDA/RPA and Estimation of U and J

School Part II : Jan 14 -- Jan 17, 2014

a) Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT)

b) Impurity Solvers

c) GW+DMFT

d) DFT+DMFT

The
program is designed to educate advanced graduate students and young
post-doctoral fellows in this emerging field of strongly correlated
systems and to train them to carry out numerical calculations.
