Saturday, January 7th, 2012Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist from ASU, has just written a book called A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing. I highly recommend you get yourself a copy. I also really enjoyed the book’s promotional video. Krauss finds something in nothing from ASU News on Vimeo.
Continuing A Great Man’s Quest
Saturday, December 17th, 2011Just the other day I posted a video where researchers in machine vision took a digital film of them roaming about a college campus and extracted a 3D model of the entire campus from the film images alone. Depth information can be extracted based on the rate of how the colored pixels change relative to [...]
Onward To The Edge!
Friday, November 18th, 2011There’s a new symphony of science video out. Have you seen it? What!? You haven’t? Well here it is! I don’t think I posted the last symphony of science video either. It’s about quantum physics. Nice!
Reference Frames Part 1: Relative Simultaneity
Friday, November 18th, 2011Yesterday I wrote a post about space-time, giving an example of how strange things can be when dealing with special relativity. If some of you have already read it, forgive me, for I wrote it at like 3 AM, and it had a few minor errors in it. My brain was tired because I struggled [...]
A Look At Space Using Special Relativity
Thursday, November 17th, 2011The other day I mentioned how I struggle to understand what “objective” space is, if such an idea even makes sense. I figured it’d be nice to bring you guys in on my struggle, so I’ll be posting some real world examples using modern physics, showing you guys just how weird and bizarre thinking about [...]
