Gravatar Hello Q...

"Something" can be everything...I have not look to so much stars in the capital city like I do now...so if we just turn the lamps into a softer lightning, we can see what we did not see before it's moor cozy...


Gravatar being on a business trip, i did not have the time i expected to have so no web browsing could be done in recent days... i shall catch up with your entries later in the week when i find time to sleep and return to enjoying your wonderful words and images... hope your life is sparkling like stars did before humans mucked up the atmosphere


Gravatar It gives me a creepy feeling to think of those things passing through me all the time.


Gravatar According to Dr. Frank Tipler, our "mind children" will evolve into proto-gods and form an information feedback loop to prevent the final ending of the Universe, thus having the potential to "know all that shall be/is known."

I hope not. It would be boring to know everything and not to be human.

What would the Mystery be in that?


Gravatar Also, can neutrinos be ultra-dimensional too?


Gravatar Hi Fancy, softer city lights
and energy saving efficient street lamps seems the way to go


Gravatar Hi Candoor, so how was Oklahoma
I'll be over for a read, of what you post when you've had your beauty sleep


Gravatar Well Dr John, there's no getting away from the stuff going on all around us or even 'thru' us. We just have to grin and bear it, it's one of the hazards of living in an active (and decaying) universe.


Gravatar Hi dad2059,
unlike photons and the MMI Many Worlds Interpretation.

Neutrinos are most often created or detected with a well defined flavour (electron, muon, tau). However, in a phenomenon known as neutrino flavour oscillation, neutrinos are able to oscillate between the three available flavors while they propagate through space. Specifically, this occurs because the neutrino flavour eigenstates are not the same as the neutrino mass eigenstates (simply called 1, 2, 3). This allows for a neutrino that was produced as an electron neutrino at a given location to have a calculable probability to be detected as either a muon or tau neutrino after it has traveled to another location.

This effect was first noticed due to the number of electron neutrinos detected from the sun's core failing to match the expected numbers, a discrepancy dubbed the "solar neutrino problem". The existence of flavour oscillations implies a non-zero neutrino mass, because the amount of mixing between neutrino flavors at a given time depends on the differences in their squared-masses (mixing would be zero for massless neutrinos).

Despite their massive nature, it is still possible that the neutrino and antineutrino are in fact the same particle, a hypothesis first proposed by the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana.


Gravatar Maybe in the future we will be able to "beam me up scottie" if we can duplicate their travels through matter.


Gravatar Hi Abigail,
supposing one day it is possible to teleport 'matter' it will be interesting to see how biological matter would be 'reconstituted'
As for teleporting humans it would be even more interesting to see how memories, feelings and emotions would be 'teleported'

Supposing such a machine could be constructed, when it comes to humans I think its most important use would be not so much 'teleportation' but clinical or medical, such as removing any disease, genetic defects etc ...

ie: patients go in old and decayed, and come out reconfigured, wrinkle free, cancer free, and alzheimers free
Now, such a machine would be worth it's weight in gold, even if it couldn't teleport you.

But I still think the hardest part for science would be not so much teleporting 'matter' but capturing the 'essence' of what makes us us, our memories, stored emotions and feelings. I suspect they are harder to detect and catch than neutrinos.


Though never say never
Gamma Oscillations Distinguish True from False Memories


Gravatar 50 trillion! Wow. Now that is cool.


Gravatar Greatness Q. I like it when you write all mystical.

Neutrino's are in that boundary layer of the unknown, with dark matter and the Higgs Boson. The question many have is are they related? They share a lot in common.


Gravatar Hi Poetry Man,
and we don't even notice


Gravatar Hi Fernando,
as in the debate, it is clear they are certainly different - seems even the neutrino would acquire its mass in a higgs field - supposing the higgs field(s) can be pinned down.
But it is amazing how omnipresent neutrinos are (meant to be) and how few can be detected.
Clarifying the behaviour of neutrinos by Prof Bonnie Flemming @ Yale Physics


Gravatar My understanding between the neutrino and the boson is that they share the Higgs field but the neutrino has some spin (I've not seen it quantified) where the boson has none. Either way this really shows how much I DON'T know. Thanks for visiting.
