Michio Kaku: Parallel Worlds

Sep 21st, 2007 | By CentroN | Category: Physics

The speaker now is theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. He holds degrees from Harvard, UC Berkeley and has offered a foundation for modern string field theory. He has authored “Hyperspace,” “Time Warps” and “Parallel Worlds,” popular books on physics.
The presentation starts with a thumping video of the city of the future. In 2057 the video says […]



Green light for fusion project

Sep 5th, 2007 | By CentroN | Category: Physics

A British-led team of scientists has won European Union approval to seek to make nuclear fusion, the physicist’s dream, a reality.
Nuclear fusion has the potential to solve the world’s energy crisis with carbon-neutral technology by harnessing the process that drives the Sun. So far, decades of research have generated little more than hype.

What do dropped mobile phone calls, mysterious signals in undersea communications cables, and tiny tremors on the Earth have in common? They are all caused by vibrations on the Sun, according to one team of scientists. But other researchers question the claim, arguing that the pulsations may never escape the Sun’s surface in the […]

Kedron Data Proves Magnets as Energy Source
Kedron, headed by Kenneth C. Kozeka, Ph.D., presents what they believe will be an abundant source of extremely inexpensive, pollution-free mechanical energy, harnessed from strong electromagnetic forces generated by the spin of electrons in powerful permanent magnets such as those made of neodymium.
Extensive scientific data […]



Speed of light broken

Aug 16th, 2007 | By CentroN | Category: Physics

Two German physicists claim to have broken the speed of light: 186,000 miles per second. They claim to have forced light to overcome its speed limit using “quantum tunnelling”, in which microwave photons – energetic packets of light – appeared to travel “instantaneously” between two prisms a metre apart.

Gravitational field generator

Aug 15th, 2007 | By CentroN | Category: Antigravity, Physics, Research, Science

In recent years a number of highly respected research groups have become involved in anti-gravity research, including NASA, the European Space Agency and Boeing.
The research usually involves rotating superconducting discs of some kind but nothing has come of the work so far. In fact, the researchers involved have all ended up disappearing from view with […]



Researchers Seek Mysterious Dark Matter

LOS ANGELES (AP) - In deep underground laboratories around the globe, a high-tech race is on to spot dark matter, the invisible cosmic glue that’s believed to keep galaxies from spinning apart.
Whoever discovers the nature of dark matter would solve one of modern science’s greatest mysteries and be a shoo-in for […]

Could alien life exist in the form of dancing specks of dust? According to a new simulation, electrically charged dust can organise itself into DNA-like double helixes that behave in many ways like living organisms, reproducing and passing on information to one another.
“This came as a bit of a surprise to us”, […]

It sounds like a science fiction joke, but it isn’t. What do you get when you turn an invisibility cloak on its side? A mini flying carpet.
So say physicists who believe the same exotic materials used to make cloaking devices could also be used to levitate tiny objects. In a further breakthrough, […]



Levitation may become a reality… for micromachines

Aug 6th, 2007 | By CentroN | Category: Physics, Research, Science

NZ Herald
By Andy McSmith
LONDON - Levitation - the magical ability to rise when there seems to be no external force at work - may be possible in the real world, two British scientists have conjectured.
Disappointingly, even if they are right, their theory will only apply to very small objects, not to human beings.
The importance […]



The Physics of Extraterrestrial Civilizations

Jul 28th, 2007 | By CentroN | Category: Astronomy, Physics, Science

How advanced could they possibly be?

by Michio Kaku
The late Carl Sagan once asked this question, “What does it mean for a civilization to be a million years old? We have had radio telescopes and spaceships for a few decades; our technical civilization is a few hundred years old… an advanced civilization millions of years old […]



The Wisdom of Your Cells Part 2: How Your Beliefs Control Your Biology

Jul 12th, 2007 | By CentroN | Category: Health, Physics, Research, Science

Bruce Lipton Ph.D.
Conventional physics sees the human body as a machine made of atoms and molecules but the quantum physicists reveal that underneath that apparent physical structure there is nothing other than energy. That means we are energy beings interacting with everything in the entire energy field. What we are beginning to recognize is that […]
