A voyage through the multiverse and higher dimensional hyperspace: The "multiverse" idea—once thought to be so crazy it only belonged on late night television—has now become the dominant theory in all of cosmology. The idea now dominates conversations in science circles and it seems you cannot avoid the theory of the multiverse. Read More

The Mystery of Dark Matter: So, one of the goals of the Large Hadron Collider is the possibility to create dark matter and this feat would be absolutely incredible, shaking the foundations of science. We know now that dark matter has weight and mass but it has no charge so therefore if you were to hold it in your hand, it would be ghostlike. It would actually filter through your hand, through the floor, through the crust of the earth all the way to the other side in a never ending cycle. Read More

The Agony Continues: BP (British Petroleum) has tried a number of maneuvers to stop the oil gusher and have failed. They are continually trying to use underwater remotely operated vehicles (robots) to shut off the spigot which has many failed attempts. They successfully capped oil well but there are others that are still leaking massive quantities of oil. Recently, they tried to put a hood around the oil wells to siphon off some of the oil but that was also a partial failure because methane gas began to crystallize creating a slush which made the cap unusable.

On the Road with Sci Fi Science: When I was a child and decided to become a physicist, I never dreamed that I would be traveling all over the world with a TV film crew, or lecturing to audiences in different countries. Back then, I just wanted to learn about physics and the universe. For example, I just finished lecturing in Barcelona day before yesterday, am now speaking in Brazil, and will soon lecture in Copenhagen and Singapore in the next 2 weeks. And after that I will be filming with the Science Channel for the second season of Sci Fi Science (the number one new series on the Science Channel) .Read More
