I'm visiting CERN next week
March 7, 2012 at 5:25 pm And attending a lecture on the Higgs Boson by Jon Butterworth , who works at CERN, in London the day I arrive back from Geneva. I met him first at the London Science Festival last Oct. In a BBC documentary he came out in, in december as one of the principal protagonists, he was not completely convinced the the Higgs particle exists. Having contacted him to let him know that I am going to his lecture, he was very grateful I did so.

The "Political Compass" Test Is FREE, SIMPLE, SHORT And ANONYMOUS -> http://www.politicalcompass.org
February 26, 2012 at 10:28 am
UPDATE: Our Own "Political Compass" Results Were Nearly Identical To Each Other (D=> -4.75e/-3.28s and J=> -6.00e/-1.64s) - And To The Thinking Of "GANDHI" - According To The Test Result Interpretations Section - In Any Case - Enjoy! :)
February 26, 2012 at 10:30 am Well, as a RIGHT-LIBERTARIAN, I note that there are no political or historical figures in my quadrant (lower-right).
Why didn't the authors profile Ron Paul? February 26, 2012 at 11:43 am Thanks For Your Comment - Hope You're Doing Well - Actually, *All* 2012 US Presidential Candidates (including Paul/BottomRight and Obama+Others/UpperRight) Were "Tested" -> http://politicalcompass.org/uselection2012 - Interesting Results - Thanks Again - And - Enjoy! :)

February 26, 2012 at 2:13 pm Strange: I come out less RIght, but more Libertarian than Ron Paul.
February 26, 2012 at 2:32 pm @Michael L. Mauldin -> Thanks Again - Yes - Seems You May Be More Liberated Than Paul - In Our Case - Seems That Nader, Gandhi, DalaiLama, Mozart Were Also Noted In Our Bottom/Left Quad - Guess That's Ok Company - Enjoy! :)
February 26, 2012 at 3:27 pm From one bottom/left quadrant to another this is very cool! Also, no surprise that Wagner was in upper/right quadrant. :-)

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
January 31, 2012 at 12:57 pm I work with various types of human. I myself am almost human.
January 31, 2012 at 1:04 pm Interesting Dennis....Imagine your D.N.A. lives on in us even though they are extinct..."The Hobbits" were part of us ... so that is where humans get there big feet... Joking aside..it is interesting as we read these article to see how far science has come in using our D.N.A. ...part of us never die...
February 4, 2012 at 5:13 pm I'm so glad Chris Stringer said in this article that breeding between Neanderthals and modern humans was more likely to be aggressive acts between competing human groups. In an international conference held here in Gibraltar, I asked Milford Wolpoff with the mike in front of the crowd including Chris whether the discrepancy of no Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA having been observed in modern humans specimens could only mean that if interbreeding had occurred then it must only had been strictly between Neanderthal men and modern women couplings. No evidence of Neanderthal DNA would have been passed on. I can't remember what year exactly that was. I'll have to check my notes for that year. I don't know how mitochondrial DNA analysis of Neanderthal DNA stands nowadays but if it is the same then the evidence indicates the latter breeding pattern. Milford Wolpoff in an article in a Scientific American paper version said all evidence in Neanderthal DNA was not usable even though he strongly believed there had been interbreeding at the time. If I find my notes I'll post what I asked in verbatim. Rape as a breeding strategy is common in human populations that don't have Neanderthal ancestry and other hominoids. Neanderthals were physically stronger than modern human males so introgression by force seems a probable option. Stronger physical traits in modern humans would also have been favourable after interbreeding. February 8, 2012 at 1:13 pm

December 26, 2011 at 2:55 pm It's up to the copyright holder to protect their copyright, not the taxpayers. Anyway, the Ad people won't let the internet die.
December 26, 2011 at 2:56 pm Is all of this because of the middlemen of Hollywood not being able to increase their income off of the hard work of others? If it is, then Greed from a few will ruin our nation as many websites would be blocked / banned only in the U.S. Websites that have nothing to do with Hollywood. Am I understanding that correctly? I hope I got it wrong! Also, one example is that no one on YouTube is PROFITING from SHARING a video EXCEPT those companies who are making you view an advertisement before the video begins. And, technically, they aren't profiting either. [I see YouTube as free advertising of music and movies. You can review the video and if you want a pristine copy, you can purchase it at your local store or on-line.] As I see it, greedy businessmen would be shooting themselves in the foot with SOPA.

I keep puzzling about whether in spite of the latest in neutrinos the speed of light theory still stands but only for a certain part of the electromagnetic spectrum. We know that neutrinos pass unaffected through enormous areas of matter because of how small they are. Could those same properties be the causal factor in why they would be able to travel faster than light? Does a spacial area crisscrossed by electromagnetic radiation limit that same radiation to travel at the speed of light due to some sort of friction with itself? Are neutrinos smaller than other forms of electromagnetic radiation so it can travel through them unimpeded? I am going to write a note on this as soon as I have the time. Article below thnx to Dennis Bogdan
The OPERA neutrino anomaly is the detection of faster-than-light neutrinos by the OPERA experiment in September 2011. The detection is anomalous because the neutrinos appear to violate special relativity, a prevailing theory of physics.

I heard that this thing has lasted more than it's estimated lifetime cause the Martian winds clean the otherwise dust covered solar panel. If that's the case why then did they not install a windscreen wiper beforehand? Maybe the other rover died prematurely because of this.

I know some elitists say that FB is a waste of time but I get up to date news on scientific issues fulfilling my own subjective requirements. When the info lights a bulb in my head I like to give credit and feedback to the people that fed me the info be it within FB or through FB like say the Huffington Post. Its just so easy to write down a new idea there and then and its always advantagous to save a good composition for future reference. Thx for all the continued useful info you've continued giving me.

November 19, 2011 at 3:09 pm Still baffling indeed...
November 19, 2011 at 3:36 pm It has been suggested that the results support Einstein's theories http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/27260/
November 19, 2011 at 4:29 pm I keep puzzling about whether in spite of the latter the speed of light theory still stands but only for a certain part of the electromagnetic spectrum. We know that neutrinos pass unaffected through enormous areas of matter because of how small they are. Could those same properties be the causal factor in why they would be able to travel faster than light? Does a spacial area crisscrossed by electromagnetic radiation limit that same radiation to travel at the speed of light due to some sort of friction with itself? Are neutrinos smaller than other forms of electromagnetic radiation so it can travel through them impeded? I am going to write a note on this as soon as I have the time.

November 20, 2011 at 9:37 am Adding to the above and perhaps confirming it, the experiment above cannot be done by shining light through bedrock because matter absorbs photons. It would be interesting if the same experiment were to be done through a transparent gaseous medium.

November 22, 2011 at 10:35 am Hi Dennis. I am very much interested in any reports that relate to the possibility of faster than light travel, as I have always been interested in the search for extraterrestrial life and the possibility that we may one day develop the capability to travel to any relatively nearby habitable planets that may exist ........ and discover that their politicians and prime time TV shows are quite similar to their terrestrial equivalents. Actually, at the present moment in time it appears that Einstein's assertion that FTL travel is impossible may be correct, therefore we may be limited to contact using electromagnetic radiation should we one day encounter intelligent extraterrestrial life. However, the future may hold as many surprises as the 20th Century did here on Earth.
November 22, 2011 at 11:11 am Hello Keith - Thanks For Your Comments - I Entirely Agree Of Course - My Own Thinking At The Moment On Some Of This Was Published In The NYTimes

There I was heading over to attack the windmills.
November 22, 2011 at 11:46 am As Einstein was really quite keen on the concept of space-time, we may need to take into account the possibility that any intelligent extraterrestrial civilisations that may exist in our Milky Way Galaxy may be well outside the range necessary for the establishment of meaningful communication using electromagnetic radiation. When you take time to think about it, the probability that a civilisation that has reached precisely our level of technological development exists within a few hundred light years of Earth (a few thousandths of the distance across our galaxy) is actually extremely small. If there is a more advanced civilisation within that radius then they will almost certainly already be aware of our existence, however they may not wish to communicate at the present moment in time. There could be many civilisations out there communicating via directional electromagnetic transmissions that we cannot intercept as the Earth does not lie in the path of their transmissions, or perhaps they are using modulation techniques that we cannot detect, or maybe we will discover technologies that are beyond anything that Einstein could have been aware of. The future could be very interesting, or not!

Thanks for the friend request, Dennis! Nice to make your acquaintance. Looks like we have a lot of interests in common. I left the 'Burgh a long time ago, but used to attend the PSO when Steinberg was still the conductor. How are the acoustics in Heinz Hall? Does the political situation of the last several years remind you eerilly, but rationally, of Atlas Shrugged?

Apparently some scientists think that RNA came before DNA and that would mean that some sort of ribosome came first. Synthetic ribosomes have already been created so I don't see why not abiogenetic ones could have sparked life off.

People certainly seemed to be busy moving from place to place in cars, streetcars, bicycles, horse drawn carriages as well as, if not mostly, by brisk walking. I noticed many men and very few women and children on the street; and, though the street is busy, there is plenty of time to move out of the way of oncoming vehicles. Very sad about the impending earthquake. The people moving around had no idea that many people around them, including themselves, would die that year.
March 16, 2011 at 1:09 pm Makes me think about H.G. Wells' book, THE TIME MACHINE. I might like to go back in time for a day. Not sure, though, if I'd want to venture into the future. Actually, I'm very happy right where I am.

I agree that it would be nice if we could communicate better with our fellow earthlings and sea dwellers (especially the ones that are mammals)!
February 16, 2011 at 7:42 pm We do have the universal language Esperanto. But, I'm sure you knew that. Too bad it's not a required subject in all the school systems around the world. Nonetheless, due to the fact that there are so many different cultures, we could all use the same words and still misunderstand each other, thus the dilemma continues.
But, I'm back to square one in thinking that we could still learn a lot by continuing to try to understand and learn the verbal and body language of other life forms around us. They are surviving in the wild, which many of us could not do for very long anymore. They could show us, if nothing else, how alien we have become in our own space. We have been successful in subduing nature in many cases, but have learned the hard way that nature really does always win. Also as a side note: Most people believe that humans are the most clever and smartest and (according to our standards) most intelligent life form on this planet. Ants and bees seem to be just as organized as we are -- maybe more so. And we have learned that Bonobos are basically peaceful and social. Sadly, it was thought that only humans were dumb enough to kill each other, but it turns out that other life forms kill each other as welI. I can't say learning that particular bit of information is doing us much good. Hopefully, though, in the long run something useful will come out of our well-intentioned efforts. Anyway, anything one learns leads to more awareness which in turn enriches one's personal existence. Thanks for taking the time to comment on Dennis' post. We enjoy the feedback. I do hope I wasn't too wordy and will get off of my soapbox now. :) February 27, 2011 at 1:16 pm Thanks For *All* Comments Above Of Course - I Entirely Agree - If Interested, Some Of My Own Comments Published In The New York Times Several Years Ago May Be Relevant -> http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/17/darwinmania/?apage=14#comment-161737 - In Any Case - Thanks Again - And Enjoy! :) February 27, 2011 at 3:30 pm

Good article. Regardless of beliefs, I have always felt that people like each other, it's just sometimes we don't like what is said and/or done at certain times. It's sad to see anyone in pain. Our gut instinct is to help them. (Before we even think about what their beliefs are.)

HONOR: Seems I Received An EDITING AWARD For My Recent Efforts On The WIKIPEDIA ENTRY ARTICLE About "THE GRAND DESIGN" (2010) Book By Dr. Stephen Hawking - Yeah Me!! :) - Award Details (http://j.mp/GrandDesign) (http://j.mp/Wiki-DYK) (http://j.mp/Wiki-drb) (http://j.mp/Wiki-Drb).
The Grand Design is a popular-science book written by physicists Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow and published by Bantam Books in 2010. It argues that invoking God is not necessary to explain the origins of the universe, and that the Big Bang is a consequence of the laws of physics alone. [1]

Seems Dr. Stephen Hawking Thinks The Universe Naturally Created Itself From Nothing (http://j.mp/Nyt-Hawking) - Does Such A Notion, If True, Affect, In Any Way, The Strategy (Or Even, Worthiness) Of Searching For Alien Intelligence?
September 3, 2010 at 12:34 pm
SCIENCE: UNIVERSE CREATED ITSELF FROM NOTHING According To Dr. Stephen Hawking In His Latest Book, "THE GRAND DESIGN" (2010): "Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing. Why the Universe exists, why we exist." - News: (http://j.mp/News-Hawking) (http://j.mp/Nyt-Hawking) (http://j.mp/Book-Hawking) (http://j.mp/Wiki-Hawking).
The Big Bang was the result of the inevitable laws of physics and did not need God to spark the creation of the Universe, Stephen Hawking has concluded.

August 20, 2010 at 3:53 pm You must live away from suburbia. Here in Mesa, AZ we only see
rattlesnakes once every few years. Had one come into our back yard last year. And we live about 600 feet from an open field that is surrounded by raods and back yards. Oh I forgot, I see lots of small birds that poop all over my driveway each and every night! I have one of the largest Mesquite trees in the neighborhood and they must love it. Some of these droppings are really hard to get off the concrete if I let the sun fry them for any length of time so I usually hose down these droppings every morn. Now up in Heber where I'm building a spec house (in the White Mountains) I've seen a herd of Elk about 30 feet from our car and just walking parallel to us and watching as we drove past; heard groups of coyotes howling in the early morning' saw a red fox that must have swallowed something that got stuck in his craw that came about 5 feet from our deck, rabbits, bears, a mother deer and her fawn about 70 feet downhill from our shack just sauntering along while keeping a keen eye on us, a single tarantula, mice, and a rat. The mice and a single rat fell into a 5 gallon bucket half full of water that we accidently left sitting about 12" below the deck of our shack during a time of extreme drought two summers ago. They had all drowned of course. I thought that was a nice trick to get rid of those vermin. Some mice had got into our shack and pooped all over my bedding on the bottom bunk while my two sons and I were gone during the week and I was glad to see them go. While I was glad to see the vermin go, I do enjoy the larger of Gods creatures and wouldn't kill them on purpose. Nice to hear from you again. Keep in touch. I miss a lot of the old high school gang and am looking forward to the 50th in two years! August 20, 2010 at 4:21 pm Norman, your wildlife is a little to wild for my taste. Especially the rattlesnakes and rats! I would definitely want at least one pet dog and a few cats around. But rattlesnakes! They would probably kill the dog and the cats.
August 20, 2010 at 4:44 pm Yeah, we were afraid our little 15 pound dog would go out the dog door and
get bit by that snake that got in our back yard and I was about to go out and kill it with a shovel and my wife told me "NO WAY" because I had right hip surgery two years before that and a complete left knee replacement a few months prior to the snake in the grass so I called my son who gladly came over and chopped his head off, and do you know that snake head kept snapping well after his head was separated from his body! So he took the snake home and removed its skin and identified it as a Western Diamondback, which normally only gets to about three of four feet long, but this one was almost 6 feet long! He may well have gotten his fangs in me if I had tried to kill him so I was glad my wife kept me from trying. You gals are good for those common sense things like that!

The New York Times Essay "The Messiah Complex" (http://j.mp/7xms4W), Related Mostly To The "Avatar" Film, Seemed A Worthy Read.
January 8, 2010 at 4:49 pm I really don't agree with the idea that Avatar was condescending. White, green, purple, brown doesn't matter when the point is totally missed. Would this reviewer have liked it better if the marine was of Asian descent and the love interest was less beautiful? And who's to say she was the most beautiful anyway? She was the daughter of the chief not Miss Galaxy. Or did I get those credits wrong?

Google Chrome OS is an open source operating system for people who spend most of their time on the web built around the core tenets of speed, simplicity and security. http://www.chromium.org

Recent (And Worthy) "Google Chrome OS" Links - Video (http://j.mp/HIntm) - News (http://j.mp/poWUI).
November 21, 2009 at 3:39 pm I talked to computer friend of mine about it when I first heard of it. He says it's got potential.
Google's choice to use Linux as its foundation has two very strong effects: 1. The GNU license, which Linux is under, is a recursive license. This means that even if Goolge wants to hide the source code, they're not allowed to. The OS will always be transparent. 1a) Security problems will be discovered faster because of this. 1b) Security problems will be fixed faster because of this. 1c) Update early & often to stay on top of every fix. 2) Compatibility with the Linux community is pretty much guaranteed. You will be able to run programs that are available on RedHat, Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu, and other popular Linux platforms. For example, the Linux version of WinAmp or Windows Media Player is called "MMS" (Multi-media system) -- you might have to re-learn the names of the Linux equivalents of things for Windows. Linux has a lot of programs available, but its Games market is a bit on the weak side. Some companies do distribute Linux versions of their games, but this is seldom. Downside: There may be hidden fees attached, as I strongly suspect Google will make money through the use of its "services." The need to use these services may be compelling if the Google Chrome OS is installed...... November 23, 2009 at 3:31 am Thanks Diana - I *Completely* Agree With Your Comments - As Far As I Can See At The Moment, The New "Google Chrome OS" Will Likely Be FREE, Making Money Via Google Ads - Might Be A Great OS For An Inexpensive NetBook PC (http://j.mp/5Vx0s2) - Or A Backup Second (Internet-only) Computer For Some - But Guess We'll Have to Wait And See - Thanks Again - Your Comments Are Greatly Appreciated. :) November 23, 2009 at 11:52 am

Trading in the stock market is, in many ways, akin to gambling in the casinos. I don’t know if the percentage of successful traders is close to the same as that of successful gamblers or not, but I would not be surprised to find it so. But, investing in stock of sound companies, although still chancy, is a bit safer and makes more sense for most folks. Trading on “tips” is trading willy-nilly and just crazy. ;-)

Is this the one that's made here in the states? I couldn't load the video you took on the highway towards Beaver Falls but I'd love to ride in one sometime. You're not thinking of vacationing in Arizona are you?

Hello Norm - Thanks for your comment about our BMW-Z3 Roadster - our Z3 is a 2001 model (last year for the Z3s) and has about 60k miles at the moment - apparently, Z3s listed for $50k new but we bought ours used for much, much less (about $16k/50k miles) in 2003. Maintenance is only once a year - a plus in our view. We mostly drive our other car (Focus Station Wagon) but thoroughly enjoy the Z3 esp in warm weather with the top-down. Recommended if possible. Incidently, you may need to install the latest Free Adobe Flash Player Program on your computer to watch our FaceBook Z3 Video ( at the following link -> http://adobe.com/flashplayer ) In any case - Thanks again for your comment. Enjoy, Dennis and Joanne :) May 2, 2009 at 11:44 am
Hey you, how are you doing? Anybody have that Swine Flue where you live? We recently had an elementary school close down because one boy had been to Mexico and came down with it. So far, that and one woman thinks she has it but not confirmed. I need to get some masks as my wife is very ill and can't withstand any flue, let alone this one.

May 1, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Hello Norm, Very Good to hear from you - very sorry to hear about your wife being ill - we hope she recovers ok (and soon) of course - Our present understanding is that "H1N1" (Swine Flu) can best be avoided by washing your hands often with soap and water (or related) as well as avoiding crowds (and crowded areas). Masks may not help with this virus but it might be good to wear a mask nonetheless. In fact, the three top Best Sellers on Amazon at the moment are all respiratory masks - see the following Link if interested -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/hpc/ref=pd_ts_hpc_nav - ( fwiw, the 3M N95 Virus Mask looks like the best one of the three ) - also, you might like to learn the very latest about the virus at the official CDC WebSite: http://cdc.gov/swineflu ( or, as well, the Wikipedia WebSite at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swine_influenza ) - in any case, thanks for your comment - and take very, very good care of course. Dennis and Joanne
May 1, 2009 at 4:14 pm I am so sorry to hear that your wife is ill and totally confirm what Dennis said. Hand washing is more important than any thing else you do along with avoiding crowds. We've had a couple cases here in ME. Both my husband and I are very glad to be retired and no longer working in the hospital. Take care and give her my best. May 1, 2009 at 7:00 pm
