Missing Pentagon Trillions 2006

The military-industrial complex has corrupted and ruined our Democracy, their hidden agenda is to keep the world perpetually in war, has cost us unimaginable sums of money and our most precious resources, our children. That is how they make their huge corporate fortunes! President Eisenhower warned of this exact problem in his farewell address and President Kennedy was killed for opposing them and their Puppet Lyndon Johnson. There are members of both parties who have abandoned their constituencies and have succumb to the Sheba of the corporate world. Your sons and daughters are sacrificial lambs at the table of the CEO’s. Wake up!

Preventive Maintenance Failure: Shell Rapid Lube Crystal River FL 34429

Thought these guys were good initially, BIG MISTAKE! After servicing my vehicle for over a year (service every three months) my van had no automatic transmission fluid in it, resulting in my transmission being ruined. This was one of the checks that they were suppose to do on every oil change, Apparently they didn’t because when my transmission failed I pulled over to check it and it took 4 quarts to fill it. It would not have been that low after 3 months of driving, unless there had been a massive leak and there hadn’t been any. Therefore they failed to check the transmission level for a considerable period of time. I brought the vehicle over there and they insisted they checked it every time. Which they could not have, I (in my younger days I worked in a garage) and use to do this work myself. Someone screwed up and they do not want to admit it. I always park my van (it is a wheelchair van) on pavement at work and at home, there was never any noticeable leaks, and certainly none of that (4 quarts) quantity that I would of missed it. I always check my parking places whenever I leave my space, just for that reason. Being handicapped I cannot afford to have my vehicle out of commission! Now the Van is at AllState Transmission in Homosassa and they are charging me close to $1600.00 for the repair! An amount that is going to be very hard for me to recoup.

More top physicists coming to Waterloo

Waterloo is well on its way to becoming the world’s top location for theoretical physics. The Perimeter Institute announced this week the addition of nine new Distinguished Research Chairs to join the first PI Distinguished Research Chair, Prof. Stephen Hawking. The individuals named to these positions represent some of the leading luminaries in astrophysics, quantum gravity, string theory, particle physics, and quantum information.

Dr. Neil Turok, the director of the Perimeter Institute and a much-acclaimed cosmologist, was quoted in the press release saying: “We are delighted to welcome these eminent scientists to Distinguished Research Chairs at PI. Their research spans many of the most exciting areas in theoretical physics. Their presence will spark new scientific collaborations and provide invaluable guidance to us, as well as inspiring the budding young researchers on our new Perimeter Scholars International program. As past experience shows, when complementary insights are brought to bear and critical mass is reached, major advances are possible.”

The PI Distinguished Research Chairs are three-year appointments. During that time the researchers will spend three months a year here in Waterloo, working in the Perimeter Institute where they can collaborate with each other and other resident researchers. This will also allow them to interact with, and in some cases teach, students in the new Perimeter Scholars International program, a Masters level course in theoretical physics.

And just who are these elite physicists? Stephen Hawking requires no introduction. He is now a household name, thanks in part to the publication of his best-selling book “A Brief History of Time.” Appointed the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge (the position occupied by Sir Isaac Newton), he is particularly noted for his work on black hole radiation, which now bears the name Hawking Radiation. Also joining Perimeter will be Yakir Aharonov, who has done important work on quantum mechanical effects, notably the Aharonov-Bohm effect; Nima Arkani-Hamed, of the Institute of Advanced Study, who has constructed theories on emergent dimensions and proposed experiments for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN; Neta Bahcall, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Astrophysics at Princeton and an observational cosmologist with work on dark matter and the structure of the universe; Juan Ignacio Cirac, the director of the Theory Division of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, whose work is in quantum information and characterizing quantum phenomena; Gia Dvali, the Silver Professor at NYU and a member of CERN, doing work in particle physics, the early universe, and string theory; Subir Sachdev of Harvard, who literally wrote the book on quantum phase transitions and done much research in condensed matter physics; Ashoke Sen from the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, a noted string theorist who proposed the Sen Conjecture; Leonard Susskind, the Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics at Stanford, a founder of string theory, who has also worked in cosmology; and, Xiao-Gang Wen, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics at MIT, a researcher who has contributed in many areas including high-temperature superconductivity, condensed matter, and the nature of space-time. All told, this is a remarkably impressive list.

Dr. Turok said that the Perimeter Institute hopes to one day expand this new initiative to reach as many as 40 Distinguished Research Chairs. This is a tall order, but if the talent attracted to PI thus far is any indication, they seem very capable of finding and involving many of the most accomplished theoretical physicists the world over. Furthermore, the compound effect of having such a large number of respected physicists in one place is bound to be an attractive incentive for more people to work at Perimeter as resident researchers and graduate students. All of this should make Waterloo the home of some of the best theoretical physics research in the world.

The criminals, Bush, Cheney, and their accomplices need to be punished, their high crimes and treason put this country and the world into the mess we are in today! It’s not good enough in just trying to recover from their atrocities, it has to be shown that politicians who betray the trust of the people in this manner must pay the consequences.

God’s Broken Machine

As Europe makes repairs to its shiny new particle accelerator, U.S. rivals prepare to steal the prize.

By Fred Guterl and William Underhill | NEWSWEEK

Published Mar 7, 2009

From the magazine issue dated Mar 16, 2009

Investors aren’t the only ones feeling a pit in their stomachs lately. Physicists at the world’s biggest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, are seeing their dreams of Nobel Prizes go down the drain along with the Dow. The collider was sold to the European public as the best chance of discovering a piece of subatomic debris so important to our understanding of the universe that it’s been dubbed the “God Particle.” Less than a month after scientists flipped the switch on the new machine back in September, however, it broke down. Repairs will take a year.

The wait itself isn’t so bad—particle physicists are used to biding their time while technicians fix their big, delicate machines. Now, though, a U.S. rival seems to have exploited the lull by staging a last-minute comeback, threatening to leapfrog the Europeans to the prize. This week scientists at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, will announce new data that not only narrows the gap between them and the coveted God Particle, but also suggests that the LHC may not be particularly well placed to make the discovery at all. The finding is a public-relations blow to the LHC and tarnishes Europe’s newly burnished image as a leader in Big Science.

The problem is partly of the physicists’ own making. The LHC, completed last year at a cost of €3 billion, triggered an American-style media blitz. The BBC devoted an entire day of radio programs to the project. The world’s press ran headlines like “Mankind’s Greatest Experiment,” “Hunt Begins for Secrets of the Universe” and “The Shot Heard Round the Universe.” (NEWSWEEK put the collider on its cover, too.) One account described the LHC itself as the “God Machine.”

Perhaps the biggest mistake was in creating such high expectations for what is only one of many goals, though arguably the most important: to discover the Higgs boson (a.k.a. the God Particle). Whether the Higgs exists goes to the heart of particle physics—if there’s no Higgs, the “standard model” of the universe that physicists have been honing for a half century would need major revision. Finding out entails sending protons around a magnetic racetrack and then smashing them into one another at high energies. The LHC, the argument went, is the only machine big enough to reach the energies needed to make the Higgs (if it exists) appear.

The only problem with that story is that it might not be entirely true. The standard model predicts that the Higgs will fall within a range of energies—from 114 giga-electron-volts to 185 GeV. The LHC is, without question, master of the upper portion of that range. Using it to hunt the Higgs at the lower energies, however, would be like shooting quail with a cruise missile. Fermilab’s smaller Tevatron collider, it turns out, may be better suited. The Higgs, the new Fermilab data show, does not exist for a portion of the upper range, putting it in the Tevatron’s cross hairs and suggesting that the LHC may be more peripheral to the search than previously thought. “We’ve made their jobs a little bit harder,” says Fermilab physicist Dmitry Denisov, “because we’ve excluded the region they’re good at.”

European scientists are putting a brave face on the news. They emphasize all the other things the LHC is expected to do, such as uncovering evidence of higher dimensions and the mysterious “dark matter” thought to make up 70 percent of the universe. “Seeing the Higgs boson is really a small part of the game,” says Sergio Bertolucci, the LHC’s director of research and computing. If the Higgs turns out not to exist, LHC data will help in figuring out why not. If Americans are first to find the Higgs, the LHC will help confirm the discovery and embellish it with detail.

Fermilab scientists, in their magnanimity, are eager to agree. “We could not compete with LHC,” says Denisov. “Our detectors aren’t as modern or complex as LHC’s. But to be able to reach this unexplored region of the universe first is, of course, creating a lot of excitement.” The findings come as a much-needed morale boost in Batavia. The Bush administration had cut Fermilab’s budget, creating a brain drain to Geneva. Now the lab’s 900 scientists have begun to feel young again. Cars can be seen in the parking lots on Saturday nights as researchers pore over experimental data. In the past four months, 30 new Ph.D. students have signed on to help with the research—an increase of 25 percent. “That really helps us,” says Denisov.

Missing the Higgs boson would be a setback not only to the LHC, but it also might lower Europe’s appetite for big, expensive scientific projects that don’t have direct relevance to pressing problems like climate change. For the time being, of course, the poor economy has turned all spending into stimulus. When the crisis settles and the bills come due, however, the physicists in Geneva might want to have some dark matter or a few extra dimensions to show for their efforts.
