Physicists Discover New Way To Visualize Warped Space And Time Two doughnut-shaped vortexes ejected by a pulsating black hole. Also shown at the center are two red and two blue vortex lines attached to the hole, which will be ejected as a third doughnut-shaped vortex in the next pulsation. [Credit: The Caltech/Cornell SXS Collaboration] by Staff Writers Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 13, 2011 When black holes slam into each other, the surrounding space and time surge and undulate like a heaving sea during a storm. This warping of space and time is so complicated that physicists haven't been able to understand the details of what goes on-until now. "We've found ways to visualize warped space-time like never before," says Kip Thorne, Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, Emeritus, at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). By combining theory with computer simulations, Thorne and his colleagues at Caltech, Cornell University, and the National Institute for Theoretical Physics in South Africa have developed conceptual tools they've dubbed tendex lines and vortex lines. Using these tools, they have discovered that black-hole collisions can produce vortex lines that form a doughnut-shaped pattern, flying away from the merged black hole like smoke rings. The researchers also found that these bundles of vortex lines-called vortexes-can spiral out of the black hole like water from a rotating sprinkler. The researchers explain tendex and vortex lines-and their implications for black holes-in a paper that's published online on April 11 in the journal Physical Review Letters. Tendex and vortex lines describe the gravitational forces caused by warped space-time. They are analogous to the electric and magnetic field lines that describe electric and magnetic forces. Tendex lines describe the stretching force that warped space-time exerts on everything it encounters. "Tendex lines sticking out of the moon raise the tides on the earth's oceans," says David Nichols, the Caltech graduate student who coined the term "tendex." The stretching force of these lines would rip apart an astronaut who falls into a black hole. Vortex lines, on the other hand, describe the twisting of space. If an astronaut's body is aligned with a vortex line, she gets wrung like a wet towel. When many tendex lines are bunched together, they create a region of strong stretching called a tendex. Similarly, a bundle of vortex lines creates a whirling region of space called a vortex. "Anything that falls into a vortex gets spun around and around," says Dr. Robert Owen of Cornell University, the lead author of the paper. Tendex and vortex lines provide a powerful new way to understand black holes, gravity, and the nature of the universe. "Using these tools, we can now make much better sense of the tremendous amount of data that's produced in our computer simulations," says Dr. Mark Scheel, a senior researcher at Caltech and leader of the team's simulation work. Using computer simulations, the researchers have discovered that two spinning black holes crashing into each other produce several vortexes and several tendexes. If the collision is head-on, the merged hole ejects vortexes as doughnut-shaped regions of whirling space, and it ejects tendexes as doughnut-shaped regions of stretching. But if the black holes spiral in toward each other before merging, their vortexes and tendexes spiral out of the merged hole. In either case-doughnut or spiral-the outward-moving vortexes and tendexes become gravitational waves-the kinds of waves that the Caltech-led Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) seeks to detect. "With these tendexes and vortexes, we may be able to much more easily predict the waveforms of the gravitational waves that LIGO is searching for," says Yanbei Chen, associate professor of physics at Caltech and the leader of the team's theoretical efforts. Additionally, tendexes and vortexes have allowed the researchers to solve the mystery behind the gravitational kick of a merged black hole at the center of a galaxy. In 2007, a team at the University of Texas in Brownsville, led by Professor Manuela Campanelli, used computer simulations to discover that colliding black holes can produce a directed burst of gravitational waves that causes the merged black hole to recoil-like a rifle firing a bullet. The recoil is so strong that it can throw the merged hole out of its galaxy. But nobody understood how this directed burst of gravitational waves is produced. Now, equipped with their new tools, Thorne's team has found the answer. On one side of the black hole, the gravitational waves from the spiraling vortexes add together with the waves from the spiraling tendexes. On the other side, the vortex and tendex waves cancel each other out. The result is a burst of waves in one direction, causing the merged hole to recoil. "Though we've developed these tools for black-hole collisions, they can be applied wherever space-time is warped," says Dr. Geoffrey Lovelace, a member of the team from Cornell. "For instance, I expect that people will apply vortex and tendex lines to cosmology, to black holes ripping stars apart, and to the singularities that live inside black holes. They'll become standard tools throughout general relativity." The team is already preparing multiple follow-up papers with new results. "I've never before coauthored a paper where essentially everything is new," says Thorne, who has authored hundreds of articles. "But that's the case here." http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Physicists_Discover_New_Way_To_Visualize_Warped_Space_And_Time_999.html

Galaxies formed sooner after Big Bang than thought by Staff Writers Paris (AFP) April 12, 2011 Astronomers said on Tuesday they believed the first galaxies formed just 200 million years after the Big Bang, a finding that challenges assumptions of how the Universe grew from infancy into childhood. Their evidence comes from a remote galaxy whose glimmer of light was teased open to reveal the presence of truly ancient stars. "We have discovered a distant galaxy that began forming stars just 200 million years after the Big Bang," said lead author Johan Richard, an astrophysicist at the Lyon Observatory, southeastern France. "This challenges theories of how soon galaxies formed and evolved in the first years of the Universe. It could even help solve the mystery of how the hydrogen fog that filled the early Universe was cleared." The oldest galaxy previously detected and confirmed was created some 480 million years after the Big Bang. To all appearances, the new finding could lay a claim on being the record-beater. But no such claims are being made because the discovery was made indirectly, rather than through direct observation, Richard told AFP. Richard's team used a technique called gravitational lensing. Under this, the light from the galaxy was observed by the Hubble and Spitzer orbital telescopes after it had been amplified by the gravitational pull of a second galaxy that, by sheer chance, lay on a direct line with Earth. Without this gravitational amplification, the light from the distant galaxy would have been undetectable because it was so faint. Using the Keck II spectroscopic telescope in Hawaii to analyse the light, the team found that the galaxy's redness -- a telltale of age -- gave a reading of 6.027. In layman's terms, this says the light arriving here today was emitted when the Universe was 950 million years old. By comparison, the earliest known galaxy, reported in January, had a whopping "redshift" of 10.3. However, hidden in the bundle of infrared data from Spitzer were signs that many stars in the galaxy were surprisingly old and relatively faint. "This told us that the galaxy was made up of stars already nearly 750 million years old -- pushing back the epoch of its formation to about 200 million years after the Big Bang, much further than we had expected," said Eiichi Egami of the University of Arizona. Under the Big Bang theory, the Universe originated in a superheated flash around 13.7 billion years ago and started to expand. After the nascent cosmos cooled a little, electrons and protons teamed up to form hydrogen, the most primitive element, and for hundreds of millions of years, this gas filled the Universe. How the fog lifted is one of the big mysteries. One idea is that radiation from galaxies ionised the gas. But this would have been impossible as there were clearly not enough galaxies available to do so. The answer, in fact, could be simple, said Jean-Paul Kneib, a Marseille-based astrophysicst with France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). "It seems probable that there are in fact far more galaxies out there in the early Universe than we previously estimated -- it's just that many galaxies are older and fainter, like the one we have just discovered," he said in a press release. "If this unseen army of faint, elderly galaxies is indeed out there, they could provide the missing radiation that made the Universe transparent to ultraviolet light." http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Galaxies_formed_sooner_after_Big_Bang_than_thought_999.html

Somalia's Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed is urging the UN to return its Somalia-related operations to Mogadishu rather than work out of neighbouring Kenya. Somalia's Transitional Federal Government has a mandate which expires in August. So this week the United Nations is hosting a conference in Nairobi to discuss what happens next. But the Prime Minister, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed is boycotting the meeting because he wants all UN work for Somalia to be done in Mogadishu. Mr Mohamed says the UN already operates in Afghanistan and Iraq, which he says are far more dangerous than Somalia. Is he right? Should the UN move its operations back within the country, or would the risks of such a move outweigh the benefits? If you would like to debate this topic LIVE on air on Wednesday 13 April at 1600 GMT, please include a telephone number. It will not be published. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/africahaveyoursay/2011/04/should-the-un-return-to-somali.shtml

This is music, music to my ears! Maanta maanta maanta, waa maalin weyne maanta,.....right alright, wait,...is it too soon for that tune. OK, shelf for now.

BINGO!

Recall.

Positive, indeed. What a significant blink to contemplate on! I hold the belief that doing this or that to contribute to life only makes matter worse. The more one is active to solve this or that the more that contributes the general outcome of worsening condition. Thus what of doing nothing ?

Positive;708242 wrote: Am I trying to see something which is not there or the peom is an allegory? It sounds as though the human self is speaking to higher Self and saying that reality in its actual constituent is only an empty space and hence it is by virtue of the presence of the higher Self that the lower Self has content of form, memory and outside phenomena which sorrounds it. Any way I'm intrigued by the inquiring nature of the human intelligence! The Awakener2 TheAwakener, I greet thee with the eternal Asalaamu Calaykum; Indeed an allegory is manifest in the poem/lyric with or without the given human self's knowing; it echoes beyond the physical contituency of the 'person' and into the 'impersonal' space of reality. Perhaps he who uttered the lyric was feeling final detachment from human self but found the unbounded state of higher being too immense to cope with hence his/her seeking of something physically visible to hold to? Who knows? Perhaps both of us (you and I) unnecessarilly read too transcendentally into the lyrics ? But whatever the case, that human intelligence, sometimes unbeknown, underestimates the stretch of of its reach. Peculiarly, have you ever experienced moments in which what you see or say felt beyond your control? I have indeed had such moments, and more so moments when I can almost second guess how events follow each other; dejavu of a more humbling nature. Whatever is, whatever was, and whatever will be all live in a single second, which is of that of the 'now'. And as such, there is active NOW, only as a PAST now.... one knows what is 'now' after some delay...making now forever illussive to grasp.... And yet the singer laments ...'take a look at me now - there's just an empty space'... from a space OUTSIDE all known states of the human self. THAT is the nothingness you sense in the poem/lyrics, I would hope.
