Clips from a BBC documentary explaining the arguments from the 1920’s until now as to whether electrons are particles, waves or both.
It outlines Einstein’s distaste at Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and is a good starting point in realising that the universe is far, far stranger than can be imagined.
Werner Heisenberg was a German theoretical physicist. He made contributions to quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, quantum field theory, and particle physics. Heisenberg, along with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, set forth the matrix formulation of quantum mechanics in 1926. Heisenberg was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics. (Source: Wikipedia)
Okay time to use your blain, I mean brain. Albert Einstein explaining the equivalence of energy and matter.
At first I thought it was German or something. But nah, it’s English.
A sound artist recorded wobbling jelly in a soundproof chamber in London.
Oh wow, why didn’t I think of this? It’s one of the top-rated video in YouTube right out.
So what’s next? Recording of someone yawning with their mouth closed? The sound the spring makes when your slider phone slides up?
Saw a rather interesting article. We see things priced at $19.95 pretty often and stall owners does it on purpose. I thought they did that just so they can say something it’s less than 20. But it’s just more than that.
The experiments used hypothetical scenarios, in which participants were required to make a variety of “educated guesses.” For example, they had subjects think about a scenario in which they were buying a high-definition plasma TV and asked them to guesstimate the wholesale cost. The participants were told the retail price, plus the fact that the retailer had a reputation for pricing TVs competitively.
There were three scenarios involving different retail prices: one group of buyers was given a price of $5,000, another was given a price of $4,988, and the third was told $5,012. When all the buyers were asked to estimate the wholesale price, those with the $5,000 price tag in their head guessed much lower than those contemplating the more precise retail prices. That is, they moved farther away from the mental anchor. What is more, those who started with the round number as their mental anchor were much more likely to guess a wholesale price that was also in round numbers.
Oh, cure for acne found. Maybe my face has some hopes. People say that once you hit a certain age you’ll stop having acne? Seems like I haven’t reach that certain age. And whether I would actually like to reach that certain age is somewhat debatable.
Cure for acne found, say scientists
Scientists believe they have found a breakthrough treatment for acne.
They claim that the drug, SMT D002, can reduce the flow of sebum - an oily substance produced by the skin and believed to be a significant cause - by 90 per cent.
At present, the drug is in pill form and is used to treat a condition other than acne but a pharmaceutical company plans to turn it into a cream for easier use. (more…)
