| We command what we are able to explain, consequently it is natural to seek to explain.
-- Oswald Chambers |
Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory
and, when successfull, finds none. --Thomas Kuhn The Structure of Scientific Revolution |
Close historical investigation of a given specialty at any given time discloses a set of recurrent and quasi-standard illistrations of various theories in their conceptual, observational, and instrumental applications.
These are the community's paradigms, revealed in its textbooks, lectures, and labratory exercizes. --The Structure of Scientific Revolution, Thomas Kuhn |
You must use arguments to explain how you arrived at your conclusion: that is how you will convince others. Offer the reasons and evidence that convinced you. It is not a mistake to have strong views. The mistake is to have nothing else.
--Antony Weston A Rulebook for Arguments |

Physics News:
Researchers of The University of Karlsruhe in Germany have developed a material with a negative refractive index. Thus light travels through this material faster than in a vacuum.
The New Scientist The University of Rochester produces backward-moving light, and it seems that the reversed light was faster than regular light. The reverse pulse of light was made by spliting laser light in a optical fiber laced with erbium, resulting in two pulses one forward moving and one backward moving. Science Blog University of Rochester News 32 scientists of the MINOS project at Fermilab find that neutrinos have mass, confirming Japan's K2K experiment in 1998. Mr. Riesselmann of Fermilab says, "the results of which will shape the future of this branch of physics." Fermilab Press Release Using a spinning superconducting disk, physicists create gravity in the laboratory. Results contradict the predictions of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. European Space Agency Are constants such as mu, alpha, and c (the speed of light) subject to change? The New Scientist: Online Journal Sustained travel at the speed of light possible according to new solution to Einstein's Theory of Relativity Physorg.com Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's researchers produce cold fusion on a small scale from deuterium gas. RPI News RPI, Purdue University and R.A.S. produce cold fusion by bursting bubbles of acetone and benzene with sound waves. RPI News |
