We are in the middle of a golden era of exploration. Particle physicists are probing the smallest distances; cosmologists are looking at the very end of the universe. All are looking for answers to fundamental questions. What is matter made of? Are there extra dimensions? What is the nature of space and time? What can we learn from our past and future?

Dark matter and dark energy
Dark matter is invisible matter that makes up 80% of the universe and affects the rotational speeds of galaxies and gravitational lensing. Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that covers the universe, increases its expansion rate, and makes up 73% of its energy. While both are unseen and little is known about them, dark matter is matter that affects galaxies whereas dark energy is energy that affects the universe's expansion.
Dark matter.pptx
Dark matter is invisible matter that accounts for approximately 27% of the mass-energy in the universe. Although it cannot be directly observed, astronomers deduce its existence through its gravitational effects, such as the anomalous rotation curves of galaxies. Dark matter is classified as cold, warm, or hot depending on the size of protogalaxies, and may consist of either baryonic matter like protons and neutrons or nonbaryonic particles like axions. It plays a prominent role in science fiction works but descriptions are often inconsistent with scientific understanding.
Dark Matter And Energy Final
Dark matter is believed to make up most of the mass in the universe based on discrepancies found when calculating galaxy masses. In the 1970s, scientists coined the term dark matter to describe this unknown matter. Dark matter could exist as either massive compact objects like black holes or weakly interacting massive particles. Its existence is important because a large amount of matter in the universe cannot be accounted for through other means. In addition, dark matter could influence theories about the universe's creation. Dark energy is a mysterious force that is accelerating the expansion of the universe. It is estimated to make up about 70% of the universe.
MULTIVERSE - Rabbil - 'Alamin
The document discusses how recent scientific advancements are validating spiritual truths. It provides examples of physicists exploring concepts like parallel universes, quantum entanglement, and the fine-tuning of physical constants that allow for life. These ideas relate to spiritual concepts of consciousness not being dependent on the physical body and the possibility of an afterlife. The document argues that science appears to be "landing in the all-embracing arms of spirituality".
A FIFTH FORCE: FACT OR FICTION?
1) In the 1980s, some physicists reanalyzed older experimental data and claimed to find evidence for a "fifth force" beyond the known four fundamental forces.
2) However, subsequent experiments produced conflicting results, with some supporting the fifth force and others not.
3) Eventually more experiments conclusively showed there was no fifth force, and the original data was found to have statistical fluctuations that created the appearance of a trend.
KAN Talks 6: Quantum Physics for kids (By Srinivas)
About the presenter:
Srinivas is 10 years old. He is a part of Mango Astronomy Club. He is passionate about physics and astronomy. Enjoys sharing whatever he has learnt in science with his peers.
Period 7 - Gah Tang - The Invisible Dilemma
Dark matter is invisible matter that can only be detected through its gravitational effects. It makes up about 27% of the universe and helps hold galaxies together. Studying dark matter could bolster theories of gravity, revolutionize the Big Bang theory, and lead to new discoveries like dark energy. The presentation argues that pursuing dark matter research can advance human knowledge and progress society.
Time travel
The document discusses different aspects and theories of time travel, including:
1) It explores Einstein's theory of general relativity which seems to allow for the possibility of backwards time travel if space-time can curve enough.
2) It addresses that going forward in time is relatively easy, while going backwards is much harder due to the challenges of significantly warping space-time.
3) The document discusses that time travel may be possible if there are differences in the flow of time between people, for example if one was able to travel at speeds close to the speed of light relative to others.

Dark matter
Dark matter is an invisible phenomenon that acts on visible matter through gravity. It accounts for 6 times more mass in the universe than normal matter. Fritz Zwicky discovered evidence of "invisible matter" in galaxies in 1933 while Vera Rubin provided further evidence in the 1970s, though they were initially disregarded. String theory may help explain dark matter through postulated supersymmetric particles. Dark energy is a hypothetical form that permeates space, causing accelerated expansion of the universe, and may account for most of its mass. It produces an opposite effect to gravity. String theory also provides several potential explanations for dark matter through concepts like supersymmetric particles, branes, and extra dimensions.

Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality
Review of Max Tegmark's book by Paul H. Carr and Paul Arveson, published in Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science, December 2020
Life, the Universe, & the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
The document summarizes key ideas related to thermodynamics, the universe, life, and humanity. It discusses the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, Maxwell's daemon, the arrow of time, the infinite improbability drive, dimensions of the universe, inflation, density fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background, black holes, the anthropic principle, the galactic habitable zone, the stellar habitable zone, extremophiles, the tree of life dominated by bacteria and then eukaryotes, human evolution from creatures like Tiktaalik, the effects of Pangaea and continental drift, the out of Africa migration, feedback loops in brain and pelvis size co-evolution, hemispheric lateralization
Spiritis Book - chapter 2
The document summarizes the key elements of the universe according to a 1857 text, including:
1) The three main elements are matter, spirit, and God. Matter can take many forms and combinations, and is the "instrument" used by spirit.
2) While science has revealed some secrets of nature, humans are inherently limited in their ability to comprehend the totality and origin of the universe.
3) The universe is considered infinite in size, and all matter—even that not detected by senses—is part of a single primitive element capable of countless transformations.
4) Spirit is defined as the intelligent principle of the universe, and while distinct from matter can only be conceived of through thought apart
General relativity vs. quantum mechanics issues of foundations uv 1_oct2018
En este seminario, nos enfocaremos en los asuntos fundamentales relacionados con los pilares actuales de la física, y discutiremos los problemas para la creación de una teoría cuántica de la gravitación, es decir Teoría de Cuerdas, Super-Simetría o SUSY, o una Teoría del Todo.
Dark matter
Dark matter is a hypothetical type of matter that accounts for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe but does not emit, absorb, or interact with electromagnetic radiation. It is believed to play a key role in the formation of galaxies and their structure. While its existence and properties are well-established through its gravitational effects, its exact nature remains unknown. Several experiments are attempting to directly detect dark matter particles through methods like observing signals produced when dark matter particles interact or are destroyed, but so far none have succeeded, and dark matter's composition remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in physics.

Heart darknesshay2013lite
The universe: why does it exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? Where and why did structure arise: galaxies, and clusters of galaxies. This slide show is a full history of enquiry into how structure arises in the universe. It goes from Plato and Aristotle to the Nobel Prize in Physics 2011. The title Heart of Darkness refers to a book that has the full story: Heart of Darkness, by Jeremiah P Ostriker and Simon Mitton, ISBN 978 0691134307
“MISSING HIGGS BIGBANG & PARTICLE STUDY”
- The document discusses the Big Bang theory of the origin and expansion of the universe, and the search for the Higgs boson particle through experiments at the Large Hadron Collider.
- It explains that the Big Bang originated from a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down, and that black holes may give birth to "baby universes" through singularities.
- The document highlights how particle physics experiments like those at the LHC aim to understand the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe, such as the still-hypothetical Higgs boson particle.
Crestroyer Theory
You are your own universe in close to infinite parallel universes. You are the creator and destroyer, hence the word crestroy. Consciousness is antimatter.
Lecture
This document presents the Crestroyer Theory, which attempts to merge science and spirituality. Some key points include:
- The theory proposes that antimatter is the mind/consciousness of living entities. Physical matter exists in our universe, while antimatter exists in different universes as memory.
- In the beginning, four cosmic entities called "crestroyers" came together and used light to create the first hydrogen atom, observing different parts of it from their separate universes.
- As more crestroyers joined, the physical universe was born. The theory seeks to explain scientific mysteries like dark matter, the Big Bang, and solve puzzles around how the universe began and is structured

The Cosmic Web
1) The document discusses key concepts in cosmology including the cosmic web, dark matter, dark energy, the Big Bang, and inflation.
2) It explains that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe and are not fully understood.
3) The Big Bang theory is supported by evidence like the cosmic microwave background radiation, but questions remain about what caused inflation in the early universe.
Dark matter
Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that accounts for about 85% of the matter in the universe. It was first proposed in 1933 to explain unexpected motions of galaxies, and its existence and properties have since been further confirmed by various observations, though its exact nature remains unknown. Dark matter is distinct from dark energy, which is driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. Leading candidates for dark matter include WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) such as neutralinos and axions.
Matter
This document discusses the history of ideas about matter from ancient Greek philosophers to modern physics. It covers theories from Thales stating all matter is water, to Empedocles introducing four classical elements, to modern atomic theory and quantum mechanics showing matter to be invisible and indivisible. The document suggests science has become more abstract as knowledge increases, with matter disappearing and existing in all possible states until observed. It advocates taking a holistic approach to scientific investigation by also studying nothing as a form of matter.
Dark Eneary and Dark Mass
This document provides an overview of dark matter and dark energy from both observational evidence in the universe and theoretical work done at particle accelerators in laboratories. It summarizes that observational evidence shows the universe is made up of 70% dark energy, 25% dark matter, and only 5% ordinary matter. While much is known about the basic features and inventory of the universe, deep puzzles remain about reconciling gravity and quantum mechanics, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and resolving why observations of dark energy are so much smaller than theoretical predictions. The document discusses how ideas like extra dimensions, supersymmetry, and multiple compactifications in string theory attempt to address these puzzles, but that challenges remain in fully explaining dark energy and connecting theory to
El Premio Nóbel de Física 2020
El Británico Roger Penrose por sus desarrollos teóricos sobre agujeros negros. La Estadounidense Andrea Ghez y el Alemán Reinhald Genzel por el hallazgo de un objeto súper masivo y compacto en el centro de nuestra galaxia.

Tres investigadores han sido galardonados con el premio Nobel de Física de este año por sus descubrimientos sobre estos fenómenos supermasivos. Roger Penrose por demostrar su existencia según la teoría de la relatividad general y Reinhard Genzel y Andrea Ghez por demostrar que los agujeros negros son capaces de interferir en las órbitas de estrellas cercanas.
Los astrónomos Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel y Andrea Ghez se han hecho con el premio Nobel de Física de 2020. El primero de los científicos ha obtenido la mitad del galardón por la demostración fáctica de la existencia de los agujeros negros, siguiendo los preceptos de la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein. Los otros dos investigadores han sido distinguidos por el descubrimiento de un objeto supermasivo en el centro de la Vía Láctea, a unos 26.000 años luz de nuestro planeta.
Reinhard Genzel y Andrea Ghez descubrieron un agujero negro en el centro de la Vía Láctea comprobando la velocidad de las órbitas de sus estrellas circundantes.
“Los descubrimientos de los galardonados de este año han abierto nuevos caminos en el estudio de objetos compactos y supermasivos. Pero estos objetos exóticos todavía plantean muchas preguntas que piden respuestas y plantean nuevos retos de investigación en el futuro, no solo sobre la estructura interna de estos objetos masivos, sino también sobre cómo usar la teoría de la relatividad general en condiciones extremas”, ha declarado David Haviland, presidente del Comité Nobel de Física.
Purpose and the Universe
The document discusses various perspectives on purpose and teleology from science, philosophy, and religion. It summarizes that modern physics has found no evidence of intrinsic purpose or design in nature, though higher-level phenomena can exhibit emergent teleology. While science only describes reality, humans are free to find purpose and meaning through creative and ethical frameworks, as long as they are compatible with scientific understanding. Purpose is not predetermined but comes from our own choices and stories.
black hole final
Black holes are objects with extremely strong gravity that prevents anything, even light, from escaping. They form when very massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycles. Although we cannot see inside black holes, theories predict all the matter is compressed into a single point of infinite density called a singularity. Black holes can be detected using telescopes that observe electromagnetic radiation like x-rays from material falling into them. There are likely many black holes throughout the universe, but none close enough to pose a danger to Earth.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
A Comprehensive Guide to DeFi Development Services in 2024
DeFi represents a paradigm shift in the financial industry. Instead of relying on traditional, centralized institutions like banks, DeFi leverages blockchain technology to create a decentralized network of financial services.
