HAPPY 48TH BIRTHDAY DOCTOR WHO!


From the first aired episode November 23, 1963!
www.youtube.com
Fearing that his time machine will be discovered if he lets school teachers Barbara and Ian go, the Doctor sets the TARDIS on its first journey. When the TARDIS finally materialises, it is on a barren, rocky landscape, with an ominous shadow falling across it. Classic clip from the 1963 four-part story 'An Unearthly Child', the very first Doctor Who...

Before they collide in nearly a million years, two newfound stars may offer insight into supernovae and Einstein's gravity.



When two such massive objects are whirling around each other, they stir up the space-time fabric, creating ripples like those made by a stone thrown into a pond. As these ripples, called gravitational waves, are produced, the star pair loses some of its energy, causing their orbits to slowly shrink.

The strange existence of anti-matter...

Taoism seems to me to come closest to contemporary physics with its yin and yang symbolism, e.g., "For cosmologists studying the origin of the Universe it was pretty clear that equal amounts of matter and anti-matter must have spewed out from the fireball at the beginning of creation." Anti-Matter Trapped For 16 Minutes)



The strange existence of anti-matter and its radical imbalance as a cosmic constituent is a fundamental mystery that has persisted for eight decades. We may finally be poised to understand not only the universe that is but also the universe that might have been.
