More quantum physics means more subatomic particles. Quarks are what make up such particles as neutrons and protons. Quarks come in six different "flavors" (yes, they're really known as flavors): Top, Bottom, Up, Down, Charm, and Strange. Top, Up, and Charm have +2/3 charge, while Bottom, Down, and Strange have -1/3 charge. They also come in different "colors": red, green, blue. To form another particle, like a proton, they have to equal a whole charge and have to have all the same color or all different colors.
I love quarks for all their quirks.
Brian Greene weaves a fugue of metaphysical harmony, jamming out a made-for-TV soliloquy for fundamental physics.
I caught the sparkle in his eye during his TED talk this year, now online.
“There are many universes (10^500), each with a different shape for the extra dimensions.”
“Our bubble is but one in a cosmic bubble bath of universes.”
But... but, isn’t this a bit, umm, irrelevant to the daily grind?
So I thought until I invested in a company that is taking advantage of this to transcend Moore’s Law. If we could engage parallel universes, perhaps we could outperform anything that could be built using just one. We could harness the refractive echoes of trillions of parallel universes entangled in a unified computation. I even named the U.S. investment vehicle for this Canadian company "Parallel Universes, Inc."
So far it seems to be working. Let’s pause on this sub point of Greene's logic with Oxford’s David Deutsch: “Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems that would take a classical computer longer than the age of the universe.” And the only way to explain their behavior invokes parallel universes. More on this later.
Some more Greene gems from the TED talk:
“The central idea of string theory is quite straightforward. It says that if you examine any piece of matter ever more finely…you’d find little tiny vibrating filaments of energy, little tiny vibrating strings. And just like the strings on a violin that can vibrate in different patterns producing different musical notes, these little fundamental strings vibrate to produce different kinds of particles — electrons, quarks, neutrinos, photons — all other particles would unite into a single framework, and they would all arise from vibrating strings. It’s a compelling picture, a kind of cosmic symphony where all the richness that we see in the world around us emerges from the music that these little tiny strings can play.” (minute 7:00)
“Sometimes nature guards her secrets with the unbreakable grip of physical law. Sometimes the true nature of reality beckons from just beyond the horizon.” (closing words at minute 20:00)
Greene argues for the anthropic principle — why is our universe so finely tuned to support the possibility of matter and life? Perhaps because we as observers, by definition, are in the universe where the parameters make our form of life possible. But there are many others.
A derivative theory, Gardner’s Selfish Biocosm hypothesis extends evolution across successive universes. His premise is that the anthropic qualities of our universe (life and intelligence-friendly physics) derive from “an enormously lengthy cosmic replication cycle in which… our cosmos duplicates itself and propagates one or more "baby universes." The hypothesis suggests that the cosmos is "selfish" in the same metaphorical sense that evolutionary theorist and ultra-Darwinist Richard Dawkins proposed that genes are "selfish." …The cosmos is "selfishly" focused upon the overarching objective of achieving its own replication.”
Gardner concludes with a nested spiral of evolutionary recapitulation:
“An implication of the Selfish Biocosm hypothesis is that the emergence of life and ever more accomplished forms of intelligence is inextricably linked to the physical birth, evolution, and reproduction of the cosmos.”
Perhaps evolution is a conserved and resonant developmental homology at all scales of iteration.

This silver doughnut-shaped building, located in the Oxfordshire countryside near Didcot, is home to the Diamond Synchrotron, a huge scientific machine, half a kilometre in circumference, designed to produce very intense beams of X-rays, infrared and ultraviolet light.
so i havent done anything in a while. no creative urges.
i had to do a cover page for my physics homework so i decided to bring back some creative juices.
i saw something like this a long time ago and i cant remember where.
hopefully ill do some more pictures
LMS location NE corner, upper floor. My seat was the one closest to the camera. You could watch lads playing tennis on the north drive court from here, which I never ever did. One 1970s day Fanny Hilton was giving a my class a lesson here when without any explanation he suddenly walked out, and never came back. Ever. I hope is OK.
Jangada is a watercraft made of wood used by fishermen from the northern region of Brazil.
The construction of the jangada incorporates some improvements in neolithic handcraft - better materials were found and the physics of sailing was better observed through experimentation. The details are closely guarded by artisans.
Its triangular sail makes use of some effects of fluid dynamics. Also known as a "latin" (lateen) sail, it allows one to sail against the wind, taking advantage of the pressure difference on the air that rises on its external face (the one that becomes convex for the internal wind pressure) and its internal face (the one that becomes concave, the side where the sailor goes). Some big watercraft also used the latin sail, but in a limited manner, because its successful use was crucially dependent on the presence of the sailor, who must be aware of the wind movements: the pressure difference is manipulated constantly whilst sailing against the wind. The same principles are used to keep a plane in the air, thanks to its wing geometry.
In the jangada, there is a gracious curve almost parabolic on the upper part of the triangle, and another one more extended and short, below. This asymmetry is due to the manipulation high of the mast, that turns gently - this time using the lever mechanic principle - around its axis.
The jangada is typically made using 6 wooden logs rafted together in parallel: two in the center (called "meios", or means), 2 more on either side of those (called "mimburas", a Tupi word), and 2 on the outside, called "bordos". The 4 most central logs ("meios" and "mimburas") are united using hard wooden pegs, made of stronger wood than the logs. The "bordos" are then bound to the "mimburas" using more wooden pegs, so they can be more elevated.
On this basic platform, two wooden seats are installed, each one supported by 4 elegant wooden rods, locked on the "mimburas". On these rods, a piece of wood is fixed to make the seat. The most central seat supports the jangada's mast. The other seat, also called the "master seat", because the man who sits on it sails and steers the jangada with an oar. The master's oar is fixed between one of the "mimburas" and one of the "meios". There is another opening between the two meios, to allow for the "bolina" board (from the English "bowline"). This board acts as a centerboard, and can be adjusted in height and angle (in a more limited way, on the medial plan of the watercraft). The "bolina" board reduces the sideways motion of the jangada when it is sailed close-hauled.
All of the traditional jangada's components are hand-made, from the mast to the sail, the ropes to the sailing seat, fishing nets, fishing hooks, anchors, and the boxes used to keep fish and belongings.
Its crew, on the traditional versions of the jangada, ranges from 3 to 5 people. This group works on a space of approximately 5 to 7 meters, on average (although there are jangadas larger than 8 meters), and a space of 1.4 to 1.7 meters on its smaller extension.
The word jangada brings this Asiatic origin. It comes from "jangada", a word from Malayalam and South Asian languages.

One of the last images of Teylers Museum, I promise. This is the other side of the electrostatic generator. One of my viewers was kind enough to explain this beast of a gadget with one of the previous images. Click here if you're interested. (I used to be crap at physics in secondary school... So much so that when I did once manage to get a good grade on a test, the teacher even wrote a comment on my paper saying 'you might turn into a physics expert one day!')
I noticed Teylers Museum is very active on Twitter, which I am too after finding out it is a great source of real life information! They have also found my images of my visit to the museum. Modern technology can be so cool ;-)

From the official web site:
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is a basic research centre dedicated to exploring the world around us at its most fundamental level. It began in the summer of 1999 when Mike Lazaridis, founder of Research in Motion and the innovator who was instrumental in launching the smart phone revolution, found himself in a position to help foster research and innovation in Canada by establishing a world-class institute devoted to theoretical physics.
Research
Since research operations began in the fall of 2001, the Institute has grown to include over 80 resident researchers who are involved in day-to-day operations. Additionally, the vigorous Visitor Program has enabled PI to host hundreds of international researchers each year for collaborations and workshops. The current groups involved with cross-disciplinary research include Condensed Matter, Cosmology & Gravitation, Particle Physics, Quantum Foundations, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Information Theory, Superstring Theory and related areas.
Training
Among activities that help develop future generations of scientists, is the innovative Perimeter Scholars International. This research training program exposes rising talent from around the world to the full spectrum of theoretical physics, bringing them rapidly to the leading edge of current research.
Outreach
In addition to the scientific operations, Perimeter Institute also shares the importance of basic research and the power of theoretical physics with the wider community. The award winning educational outreach team provides specifically crafted programs and educational resources for youth, teachers and members of the general public across Canada and beyond.
Funding
Perimeter Institute is an independent, non-profit, charitable organization focused on scientific research, training and educational outreach in theoretical physics. The Institute is funded through an innovative public-private partnership - uniting governments, individuals, corporations, and foundations in a shared enterprise to help advance scientific breakthroughs, nurture scientific talent, and share scientific discovery with the broader public.
Workplace
Perimeter Institute endeavors to foster an inclusive culture that embraces and celebrates the diversity of our organization. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, harassment-free working environment for all students, scientists, support staff and volunteers, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion or place of origin. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of harassment, discrimination, or violence in the workplace. Trust and mutual respect are the basis of our community.
Perimeter has many collaboration areas where residents can sit, talk, and work. The glass panels just in front of the windows on the second floor are frosted — when you get close they become whiteboards! (Apparently if you don't give residents enough space to write they start writing on walls and other surfaces.)
