High-Speed Photography Turns Water Droplets Into Liquid Sculptures The water droplet is the quintessential cliché of high-speed photography. Any Internet search will produce a dizzying number of bursting and rippling liquid surfaces. Yet in the right hands, even the familiar can be extraordinary. Markus Reugels, a German amateur photographer who has perfected the theme, has produced an exhaustive catalog of his favorite subject captured in every conceivable, fleeting pose. Electromagnetic spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[4] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object has a different meaning, and is instead the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. Most parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are used in science for spectroscopic and other probing interactions, as ways to study and characterize matter.[6] In addition, radiation from various parts of the spectrum has found many other uses for communications and manufacturing (see electromagnetic radiation for more applications). History of electromagnetic spectrum discovery The first discovery of electromagnetic radiation other than visible light came in 1800, when William Herschel discovered infrared radiation.[7] He was studying the temperature of different colors by moving a thermometer through light split by a prism. He noticed that the highest temperature was beyond red.
New Type of Star Emerges From Inside Black Holes — The Physics arXiv Blog Black holes have fascinated scientists and the public alike for decades. There is special appeal in the idea that the universe contains regions of space so dense that light itself cannot escape and so extreme that the laws of physics no longer apply. What secrets can these extraordinary objects hide? Today, we get an answer thanks to the work of Carlo Rovelli at the University of Toulon in France, and Francesca Vidotto at Radboud University in the Netherlands. These guys say that inside every black hole is the ghostly, quantum remains of the star from which it formed. And that these stars can later emerge as the black hole evaporates.
Exhibitions To date, the art works of two major artists have been subject to the Re-create process: Johannes Vermeer, one of the undisputed masters of the Dutch Golden Age, and Katsushika Hokusai, an ukiyo-e artist renowned internationally for his majestic mountains and waves. Re-create exhibitions suggest a new way to enjoy art, by giving spatial and temporal context to original art works—by setting them in motion and history—and thereby giving us the opportunity to reconsider and reimagine these masterpieces in what Dr. Shin-Ichi Fukuoka calls dynamic equilibrium, the ever-changing flow of life. February 24 – March 21 2015, Openhouse Gallery, 201 Mulberry RE-CREATE NYC 2015 will be the first international showcase of all 37 Vermeer Re-creates, in New York City, the adopted home of exhibition Director, Dr.
How Bill Nye Became The Science Guy. And A Ballet Shoe Inventor. And a Political Voice When Bill Nye tells a story about getting hit in the head, he stops to remind you about inertia, “a property of matter.” He’ll ask you how many electric switches are in your iPhone and casually chat about SpaceShipOne. It seems as though Nye were born to play the role for which he is best known: “the science guy,” an amusing, bow-tie-wearing teacher with an entertaining experiment to go with every scientific phenomena. But his career trajectory reads much more like a delicate string of happenstance than a born destiny. Looking a bit like Steve Martin started his career as a comic.

Black Holes Feed On Quantum Foam, Says Cosmologist — The Physics arXiv Blog If Spaans is right, black holes grow by feeding on spacetime itself and their quantum feeding habits effectively solve the problem of how the biggest black holes become so massive, so quickly. “Supermassive black holes can acquire a lot of their mass through these quantum contributions over the life time of the universe,” he says. Here’s some useful background. In 1955, the American theoretical physicist John Wheeler suggested that at very small length scales, virtual particles, including quantum black holes, must constantly jump in and out of existence creating a kind of foamy structure that is very different from the smooth spacetime we see at larger scales. Nobody has ever observed quantum foam but there is widespread agreement that the fabric of the universe must be made of something like it.
Hans Ulrich Obrist: the art of curation Hans Ulrich Obrist One of my childhood heroes was Sergei Diaghilev. He didn't dance. He wasn't a choreographer. He didn't compose. He didn't direct. Um, Maybe You Shouldn't Have Hidden From the Zombies in That Church... I keep posting in these but of course you keep deleting my opinions. You can't just change the definition of the phrase "fine art" because you like this art. It's skilled art, it's great art, hell maybe it's even "high art," but fine art is a thing and this is not that thing. That doesn't mean it's less creative or beautiful than other art, but it is not fine art.
