"Spooky Action Planet!" --Unique "BIG Bell" Worldwide Experiment Confirms Predictions of Quantum Physics
http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/201...hysic.html

EXCERPT: On November 30th, for the first time, participants around the world took part in a unique worldwide experiment with the aim of testing the laws of quantum physics. Twelve laboratories from around the world collaborated in quantum experiments powered by human randomness with the aim of demonstrating experimentally that the nanoscale world is as strange as quantum physics predicts, consisting of particles in superstates that collapse only when observed; strange instantaneous interactions at a distance; predictions that were questioned by Einstein, who rejected them completely. During the 48 hours during which it was November 30th somewhere on the planet, participants contributed to the BIG Bell Test initiative, generating sequences of zeros and ones through a video game to produce sequences of numbers that were as random as possible....

Is the Search for Dark Matter a Wild Goose Chase?
http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archi...se/509441/

EXCERPT: For 80 years, scientists have puzzled over the way galaxies and other cosmic structures appear to gravitate toward something they cannot see. This hypothetical “dark matter” seems to outweigh all visible matter by a startling ratio of five to one, suggesting that we barely know our own universe. Thousands of physicists are doggedly searching for these invisible particles. But the dark matter hypothesis assumes scientists know how matter in the sky ought to move in the first place. This month, a series of developments has revived a long-disfavored argument that dark matter doesn’t exist after all. In this view, no missing matter is needed to explain the errant motions of the heavenly bodies; rather, on cosmic scales, gravity itself works in a different way than either Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein predicted....

quantifiable relative measure is determinant to the observers ability to negate a factor.
algorithmically impure yet scientifically definitive.

"god doesnt play dice"

Considering Einstien admitted to not only himself but others that he felt he was wrong about something is proof enough for those in the science community not to nail the lid shut quite soo quickly on Einstiens theorys.
Given the opportunity to study his own work from the age of 10 years old, what would we have today ?
spaceships and warp drives !
maybe he would have packed it all in and thought better not.

i would like to hope the focus is on the Science, rather than trying to prove someone wrong.
Thus in so doing taking the true value of his work and moving forward instead of allowing something that he may well have changed his mind on given another decade or two and simply keep moving forward.

"god doesnt play dice"

Einstein's reply on quantum activity was like an addendum to any theist's bible. He might as well have said 'because, that's why'.

Sometimes I sit here and think about how everything came from nothing, only to follow it with the thought that maybe this is what nothing looks like. I'll rub my crystal ball and proclaim that quantum physics' discoveries will be a real game changer. Not saying Einstein was wrong but like all science it's a work in progress, we're ready for the next big step. I hope I get to see it.

thought this from star trek might be quite interesting.


http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tetrion

A tetryon is a subatomic particle that can only exist in subspace environments. Tetryon radiation is a bombardment of these particles. Since these particles are a property of subspace, they become highly energetic and unstable when they are extruded into normal space, which can occur by both natural and artificial means. Tetryons have a random momentum, and thus cannot be tracked by sensors. 

no im not have'n a laugh.

i am making a point that we are completely aware of particles that defy our comprehension of their physics principals as a form of law(how they work) and Dark energy and dark matter fall into this catagory.

why cant we find dark matter ?
because we dont know how to look for it yet.
so we need to press heads together and press on instead of playing whos got the biggest 'you know what'.
let science lead the way.

care for a case and point ?
how many decades was fermi lab shut down for  ?
around 3 decades if memory serves.

so with current basic science we are around 30 years behind our own current technology.
crazzy huh !
