Big bang theory proven in 2012?

The God particle, or Higgs boson has long been the pursuit of scientists far and wide. Physicists were once in the belief that the smallest components of the atom’s nucleus were protons and neutrons. After the invention and development of colliders, or particle accelerators that they discovered that the protons and neutrons were made up of quarks and gluons and that there are other forces and particles.

The Higgs boson, which is another name for this sought after particle, which was named after one of the physicists which was proposed in 1964, inspired by the ideas of Philip Anderson. The came up with the Higgs mechanism, or Englert-Brout-Higgs-Guralnik-Hagen-Kibble mechanism (named after all 6 participants), which is a process by which vector bosons can get a mass. Those 6 physicists were awarded the J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics for their work on the Higgs mechanism.

National Wear Red Day 2011 Is Friday February 4 2011 Help With A Heart

Today, Feb 4, 2011 is officially designated National Wear Red Day 2011, and people across the nation are encouraged to wear red to show support for the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Campaign and to also help to raise the awareness of heart disease. Celebrities like Betty White and Jennie Garth are among the many celebrities whom are supporting the effort. Since this annual Go Red For Women campaign was launched in 2004, cities across the nation have transformed their prominent landmarks to red on this meaningful day to help raise awareness for this cause. Some of the more prominent landmarks to have been transformed in the past include the Empire State Building, Niagra Falls, the Pike Place Market in Seattle, and State Capitol Buildings across the land.

So if you are surrounded in a sea of red today and don’t know why, this is your reason, and hence, as the campaign suggests, raises the awareness for this worthy cause. Continue Reading Wear Red Day 2011 Is Friday February 4 2011 Help With A Heart Here

Groundhog Day 2011

We anxiously await Punxsutawney Phil for his appearance on February 2 2011

This Groundhog Day 2011 is right around the corner, as in exactly 1 day, February arrives, which means this low echelon holiday is right around the corner for us. Let’s be blunt. When it comes to Groundhog Day, there are two vocal camps, one of which holds this unheralded holiday to be one of the most, if not the most boring and least celebrated and recognized holidays that we have. I myself, am slightly partial to the holiday myself, and watch Groundhog Day on DVD every year to celebrate. For this holiday in 2011 there will, of course, be no exception to the watching of the Bill Murray classic movie. After a few months of dreary weather we can look forward to the little varmint declaring that winter will soon be over, or we will have another 6 weeks of the dreary wintry weather to deal with, at least in theory. How accurate his forecast is remains to be seen, but taken in context, it does have some credibility as animals are better judges of their environment than we are I imagine.

In real life, Punxsutawney, PA is the home of Phil and of the Groundhog Day activities of which this furry oracle is the center. Continue Reading Groundhog Day 2011 Here

Challenger Explosion Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster 25th Anniversary

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the Challenger Explosion, as the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster took place just 73 seconds after it’s launch into space January 28, 1986 at 11:38 AM EST, from launch pad 39B, with 7 astronauts aboard, including New Hampshire teacher Christa McAuliffe, a High School teacher. This addition of the teacher led to much exuberance and excitement for the launch, and also the televising of the event nationally. As millions watched, including many school classrooms, the launch was struck with disaster just 73 seconds into it’s flight.

The Challenger launch was nationally televised because of the addition of Christa McAuliffe. Shuttle launches were so commonplace and apparently thought to be so safe that the news media didn’t cover them for the most part anymore. NASA had set high hopes for the Teacher in Space program in that it would revive waning public interest into the program. McAuliffe was subsequently going to give live lessons from space to students on Earth, making it even more important to young children across the nation. No one anticipated or would have even thought the Challenger explosion would take place. Continue Reading Challenger Explosion Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster 25th Anniversary Here
