From CosmosMagazine.com: History: Einstein’s mathematician/ by Jeff Glorfeld/ Overcame obstacles to become a towering mathematician.
 Amalie Emmy Noether was born on 23 March 1882, in the Bavarian city of Erlangen.
Her father, Max Noether, was called “one of the finest mathematicians of the nineteenth century” by Leon Lederman and Christopher Hill in their book Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe, and she was to follow in his footsteps.
A story in journal Science News on 23 June 2018 carried the headline: “In her short life, mathematician Emmy Noether changed the face of physics”... |

New result from LHCb experiment challenges leading theory in physics
|
|
From UofCambridge-Research: UK particle physicists have today announced ‘intriguing’ results
that potentially cannot be explained by the current laws of nature.
Results from the LHCb Collaboration at CERN suggests particles are not behaving the way they should according to the guiding theory of particle physics – suggesting gaps in our understanding of the Universe.
Physicists from the Universities of Cambridge, Bristol, and Imperial College London led the analysis of the data to produce this result, with funding from the Science and Technology Facilities Council. The result - which has not yet been peer-reviewed - was announced today at the Moriond Electroweak Physics conference and published as a preprint.

Call for Papers - The 23rd International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ICCF-23)
Dear
Colleagues and Friends,
The 23rd
International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ICCF-23) will be
held as a virtual conference, during June 9th-11th, 2021. The ICCF-23 website
is now up at http://ikkem.com/iccf23/index.html
The Covid-19
pandemic which struck in 2020 has forced us to re-prioritize our lives and
activities including conference activity. The International Advisory Committee
(IAC) of the International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science has decided that the ICCF-23 could not be held entirely
face-to-face. Considering recent conditions
especially travel restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is decided
that the conference will be held online. We therefore warmly invite you to join
the ICCF-23 online conference. |

Science and technology of the Casimir effect
|
|
 From Physics Today: Science and technology of the Casimir effect (extracts)...
Repulsion, torque, and dynamical effects
...Those experimental and theoretical results are more than just demonstrations. They point to future work in which the Casimir force can be used to manipulate nanoscale objects. In MEMS devices, high surface-to-volume ratios often result in unwanted stiction that could be mitigated with a repulsive Casimir interaction. What’s more, by producing attractive and repulsive forces and torque at the nanoscale, one can create, at least conceptually, a micro-tractor beam for moving quantum dots, nanowires, bacteria, viruses, and other minuscule objects...

Endless Creation Out of Nothing
|
|
 From scientificamerican.com: Endless Creation Out of Nothing - Could our universe have been an experiment by an ancient civilization? / By Avi Loeb on December 12, 2020
...But we can consider even more foundational questions. Since the atomists were wrong and emptiness is nowhere to be found, what was there before the big bang? Did our universe emerge from a vacuum fluctuation? These questions can only be answered within the framework of a predictive theory of quantum gravity that combines quantum mechanics and gravity, which we do not have as of yet. Until it is developed, we will not figure out our cosmic roots...

The fundamental building blocks of the universe
|
|
 Via The Conversation: Fragments of energy – not waves or particles – may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe by Larry M. Silverberg (Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, North Carolina State University)
Matter is what makes up the universe, but what makes up matter? This
question has long been tricky for those who think about it – especially
for the physicists. Reflecting recent trends in physics, my colleague Jeffrey Eischen and I have described an updated way to think about matter. We propose that matter is not made of particles or waves, as was long thought, but – more fundamentally – that matter is made of fragments of energy... |

Vasant Corporation Provides Consulting Services on Spin-Wave Technology

Texas: The idea behind sharing this research
about spin-wave technology is to create awareness of how the technology can be
beneficial to the environment and to the global economy.
Spin wave technology is the sum of
techniques, skills, methods, and processes for making use of the spin
interactions among atomic particles that have an electric charge, the attribute
of spin, and a magnetic dipole through their spin axes.
Since 1994, George Bugh has been
researching the so-called “free energy” devices, also known as “over-unity”
devices, to determine if any of these devices
transferred energy from unknown sources, and if so to determine where the
energy was coming from. The study includes the research of related devices
with claimed anti-gravity effects. Bugh attempted to determine the validity of
the claims, the commonality of characteristics, and how these devices could
work. He concluded that a few devices could generate economically free energy.
Bugh also concluded that there is a link between gravity and electromagnetism that
can be exploited to generate antigravity or electrogravity effects.

Via QuantaMagazine.org: Does Time Really Flow? New Clues Come From a Century-Old Approach to Math by Dave Whyte
 The laws of physics imply that the passage of time is an illusion. To avoid this conclusion, we might have to rethink the reality of infinitely precise numbers. If numbers cannot have infinite strings of digits, then the future can never be perfectly preordained.
Strangely, although we feel as if we sweep through time on the knife-edge between the fixed past and the open future, that edge — the present — appears nowhere in the existing laws of physics.
In Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, for example, time is woven
together with the three dimensions of space, forming a bendy,
four-dimensional space-time continuum — a “block universe” encompassing
the entire past, present and future.

Via New Energy Times: Omitting the ITER Input Power – Cardozo’s Role/ by Steven B. Krivit
 Promoters of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, ITER, have a long history of telling the public how much output power they should expect from this experimental reactor. At the same time, they have a long history of omitting the required input power. Perpetual-motion scams do the same thing, only with mechanical tricks...
ITER is not designed to produce electricity; nor is it designed to produce overall net power. It is designed specifically for a purely scientific outcome: a fusion plasma that produces thermal power at a rate 10 times greater than the rate of thermal power injected into the plasma.

Black silicon photodetector breaks the 100% efficiency limit
|
|
Via Aalto University News: The efficiency was so high that at first the researchers had a hard time believing the result. Now Aalto University spin-off company ElFys Inc. already supplies the record detectors for several industry sectors.
 UV-light triggers electron multiplication in nanostructures. Figure: Wisa Förbom
Aalto University researchers have developed a black silicon photodetector that has reached above 130% efficiency. Thus, for the first time, a single photovoltaic device has exceeded the 100% external quantum efficiency limit at UV. This result opens new avenues for improving efficiencies beyond the famous Shockley-Queisser limit.

Quantum fluctuations can jiggle objects on the human scale
|
|
 Via MIT News: Study shows LIGO’s 40-kilogram mirrors can move in response to tiny quantum effects, revealing the “spooky popcorn of the universe.”
The universe, as seen through the lens of quantum mechanics, is a noisy, crackling space where particles blink constantly in and out of existence, creating a background of quantum noise whose effects are normally far too subtle to detect in everyday objects.
Now for the first time, a team led by researchers at MIT LIGO Laboratory has measured the effects of quantum fluctuations on objects at the human scale.

New “whirling” state of matter discovered in an element of the periodic table
|
|
 Via Radboud University: The strongest permanent magnets today contain a mix of the elements neodymium and iron. However, neodymium on its own does not behave like any known magnet, confounding researchers for more than half a century. Physicists at Radboud University and Uppsala University have shown that neodymium behaves like a so-called ‘self-induced spin glass,’ meaning that it is composed of a rippled sea of many tiny whirling magnets circulating at different speeds and constantly evolving over time. The results will be published on 29th of May, in Science.
Understanding this new type of magnetic behaviour refines our understanding of elements on the periodic table and eventually could pave the way for new materials for artificial intelligence.

Objective evidence of defect of the QED's standard interpretation
|
|
WGUGLINSKI writes: Dear Prof. Hiromichi Nakazato
Editor, European Physical Journal Plus
I am submitting for publication in the journal Physics Essays my paper entitled “Relation between QED, Coulomb’s law, and fine-structure constant”.
The paper was rejected for publication in the European Physical Journal Plus with the following Report, written by you:
The
main idea of the paper is based on such classical notions like
particle's motion and electric current and magnetic field seem to have
been given fundamental roles. This is evident from the figures
presented in the paper. These notions are untenable in microscopic
world where the wave-particle duality is essential even if the author
feels "strange" and the gauge field plays an essential role. They have
been supported by experiments for many years. The paper will not be
understood and never be accepted by any other physicists unless the
author provides, not a subjective (like the one the author thinks
"strange"), but an objective evidence of defect of the standard
interpretation, which is missing in the present paper.
I think that the paper does not fulfill the scientific standards required by EPJPlus and thus reject it.
Yours sincerely
Hiromichi Nakazato

Path to the Fundamental Theory of Physics
|
|
From Stephen Wolfram writtings: Finally We May Have a Path to the Fundamental Theory of Physics…and It’s Beautiful/ Apr14, 2020
I Never Expected ThisIt’s unexpected, surprising—and for me incredibly exciting. To be fair, at some level I’ve been working towards this for nearly 50 years. But it’s just in the last few months that it’s finally come together. And it’s much more wonderful, and beautiful, than I’d ever imagined.
