Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) provides scientists worldwide the lab’s unique particle accelerator, known as the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), to probe the most basic building blocks of matter by conducting research at the frontiers of nuclear physics (NP) and related disciplines.
In addition, the lab capitalizes on its unique technologies and expertise to perform advanced computing and applied research with industry and university partners, and provides programs designed to help educate the next generation in science and technology.

Orbs captured with camera in Australia Night Sky, many would like to think these are 'dust', 'pollen' or just plain old camera artifacts, well if you want to deceive yourself and believe that, OK, but don't bother hanging around here where research is ongoing and shows otherwise, thanks.
These objects are captured with natural colours presented, some contrast is enhanced for better visual viewing, but all are genuine shots and archived originals are kept on data base. They are all shot over my home in NSW Australia by me personally.

Night imagery of what is commonly called "orbs" and deciphered to content entities, as also seen in the infrared dimension and also in Earths sky in our realm, visible to some.
"orbs" are light anomalies that appear on photographs and video as spherical balls of light but as flashes of light to the naked eye because of their rapid speed of motion. They exhibit intentional behavior - suggesting some consciousness or awareness of the environment.
Orbs often travel in groups or clusters i.e. they exhibit swarm behavior - also a characteristic of particles in plasma - a characteristic observed by Bohm . Orbs also can dart back and forth rapidly like amoebic life-forms in a Petri dish. The balls can be transparent, translucent or in a bright solid form. These are signature features of magnetic plasma which has the natural property of being able to change its degree of opacity when internal frequencies change. Magnetic plasma would also allow orbs to change their output of light or luminosity. Looking at these balls in close-up reveals that they possess an onion-like layered structure i.e. they have concentric shells - a signature feature of plasma crystals. Danelek says, "...'true orbs' do not reflect light the same way a dust particle or flying insect does, but are instead generally more opaque and, in some cases, even appear to have rings within them."
Experienced ghost hunter Joshua Warren (in his excellent book How to Hunt Ghosts) says, "Often, orbs appear to have a nucleus, just like a cell. The nucleus might be surrounded by 'bands' - concentric circles emerging from it. In fact, it might appear like an onion that's been chopped in half." All these characteristics are identical to plasma crystals generated in the laboratory.
Orbs resemble plasma spheres in many ways. However, while plasma spheres generated in the laboratory are composed of standard particles (i.e. the particles described in the physicists' Standard Model currently), orbs are composed of super (i.e. supersymmetric) collisionless dark matter particles. This allows orbs to pass through objects and walls (just like said ghosts).
Dark matter in the physical-etheric universe can only interact with ordinary matter if their energy levels temporarily fall and ordinary matter condenses around them. Warren believes that since 'ghosts' have an electrostatic field, it makes sense that particles from the atmosphere would be trapped in the field. This would form a tiny clump of particles that betrays the presence of the 'ghost'. He says that, based on readings on electromagnetic meters during paranormal investigations, paranormal orbs carry a charge of static electricity. Dr Michael Persinger, a lab-based parapsychologist, and his colleagues demonstrated a link between strong or varying electromagnetic fields and orb activity. Orbs are also said to travel along Birkeland currents (i.e. ley or energy lines). This is another characteristic of their electromagnetic nature - which suggests that they are composed of magnetic plasma which is a good generator of electromagnetic fields and a good radiator of electromagnetic waves. ......[ Dark Plasma Theory ]

It was recently pointed out to me by Hrumkorf ( www.flickr.com/photos/hrumkorf/ ) that several of my gemstone absorption spectra exhibited what are called 'Fano antiresonances': notably in Kyanite ( www.flickr.com/photos/35652793@N04/5628085961/ ) and Emerald ( www.flickr.com/photos/35652793@N04/5601474102/ ).
Such resonaces are caused by the quantum mechanical interference of the wavefunctions representing two or more possible paths by which a single photon can achive a specific change in state of an atomic system, such as the ionization of an atom via a direct process or, alternatively, an internal two-electron excitation followed by an auto-ionization.
In the chromium (Cr3+) containing crystals such as kyanite and emerald, the upper level of the metastable 'R-lines' (the 'laser' line in ruby) can be excited directly from the ground state by the absorption of a red photon. The same photon could also excite an R-line via a much broader absorption line which includes this particular photon wavelength but is responsible for the very broad green-red absorption band producing the blue colour of kyanite. It is the interaction between these two possibilities that results in the characteristic asymmetric absorption/emission structures in the crystal absorption spectrum.
These two plots show: top - the transmission spectrum of kyanite (blue line). This has been fitted in the range 12000 - 16000 cm^-1 by a 5th order polynomial (red line). This has been used to normalise, by division, the absorption spectrum (black line). This result shows clearly the two asymmetic Fano antiresonances. In the lower plot, the normalised spectrum has been fitted by the simplest version of a Fano resonance model (see, e.g., en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_resonance ), shown as the red line.
The kyanite red fluorescence spectrum is overlayed on the bottom plot as the thin green line.
The Fano phenomenon, although originally investigated for the behaviour of noble gases, is proving to be more widely important and in particular for the photonic engineering of nanostructures and metamaterials.

How many topics in physics are contained in a simple rainbow produced on the wall (and toilet) by sun shining through a plastic privacy screen?
Well...the light from the sun is composed of many different wavelengths...the distribution of which is dependent on the temperature of the star - which ours is centered on the the yellow. When the the light encounters an optically dense medium (glass or plastic in this case), the light is absorbed by the molecules and passed from molecule to molecule, the probability of which an absorption and emission occurs is described by Feynman's QED. The principle of least action (from D'Alembert and Lagrangian mechanics) finds the maximum probability amplitude, and hence the interaction that occurs, or the direction the light is refracted. The path of light through the medium is dependent on the wavelength and frequency of the light. One can back up to PAM Dirac's relativistic quantum mechanics, ingeniously melded Schrodinger's wave equation and/or Heisenberg's Matrix mechanics with Einstein's relativity, which determined that the only certainty in the universe is the speed of light. Everything else including Newton's fixed stars and time...TIME itself are mutable to make the speed of light constant in every situation. Dirac faced with the actual energy of a particle being the square root of the rest mass and its motion, devised a Hamiltonian that required matricies, later interpreted by Pauli as spin states of particles. Schoedinger and Heisenberg following Bohr's amazing leap of quantized orbits to describe Plancks description of light as quanta....actually they were named by Einstein to describe the photoelectric effect....but Planck needed the quantized description of light to explain the ultraviolet disaster of Rayleigh. Planck was working for the electric company to maximize the light output of municipal utilities at the least cost.... TBC
