  • Ozone Generator

    Rating: 

    We all know that ozone is one of the most important gases present in the earth's atmosphere performing the very critical functions of blocking the harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching the earth's surface as well as helping keep the temperature of the earth's surface warm enough. But aside from these functions, ozone gas also plays a lesser task though no less important. Ozone is used as a disinfectant for air and drinking water and is used by many utilities for water and air treatment.Read more…

  • The String Theory

    Rating: 

    At first, this theory was not exhilarating to many physicists because it seemed preposterous. However, many physicists soon became hooked to this theory when two physicists, John Schwarz and Michael Green, found one equation for all forces in 1982.“The String Theory” suggests that “small vibrating 1-dimensional objects with length and tension constitute the universe”.Read more…
  • Mars Coming To Large View – Is This Hoax Amnesia Or Ignorance

    Rating: 

    This phenomenon occurred last year (and in 2003), so this means that the next occurrence is in 2007, not this year. This e-mail is such a classic example of a hoax, that it is totally unbelievable that people still fall for this and distributes these lies to everyone they know. The e-mail states “This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars”.Read more…

    Rating: 

    Ever pondered from where do we get all the underlying concepts of different streams of sciences? Just give it a thought , you will agree that psychology is the biology of the brain, biology is just the study of biochemical reactions, biochemistry(or organic chemistry) is simply complex chemical reactions, chemistry being just molecular physics summed up into a table(The periodic table). Now you can extrapolate molecular physics which is defined by the weak nuclear force to the fundamental forces of physics.Read more…

  • The Z-Boson Mass and its Formula as Multiple Proofs in One Bowl of Yummy Pudding - By: Sean Sheeter
    A demonstration of the mathematical, theoretical and, especially, empirical connotations of the phrase "Pudding Proof" in the context of a highly exacting physical model. In particular, a formula is given deriving the mass of the Z-boson from two heavy quarks and and Higgs field. Remarkably, the precise correlation with the known value of the Z-mass is thus empirically proof positive of these far less directly measurable masses, which is further supported by arithmetic and theoretic construct.
  • The Theory, Significance and Precise Calculation of Gluino Mass - By: Sean Sheeter
    A preview of the most significant predictable particle cascades at Cern's LH-Collider in the coming years. Describes how a precise gluino mass of 6.388355 TeV relates to the super-symmetric Higgs mechanism and decays to squarks and other 'sparticles as a prerequisite to creation of 'dark mass,' as well as the unsolved puzzle of material baryon creation. Which also goes on to shows why giving three dimensionless calculations for the gluino mass are central to the e-course "241-Mumbers."
  • Derivation of the Pure Precise Fine-Structure Number and as a Ratio of Two Inexact Metric Constants - By: Sean Sheeter
    A history of a definitive answer to #1 'millennium question' of Strings 2000 in regard to whether all fundamental parameters can be determined in a dimensionless manner. Focus's on a 'pure' calculation of the fine-structure constant from a unified 'monolithic' system that allows precise equations for the full spectrum of fundamental particle masses from Higgs/SUSY to quarks, neutrinos and dark matter. With an update on controversies of determining the fine-structure from metric measures and a few other related issues.
  • Proof of the Exact Up and Down Quark Masses from the Pion Mass-Differential - By: Sean Sheeter
    A discussion of the equivalence of the mass differential between the charged and neutral pion as a function the mass difference between the down and up quark. Given the unprecedented mass value of the down quark = 7.763258 MeV, the up quark mass is calculable from the even more exacting d-u mass differential = 4.593453 MeV, where the experimental pion mass difference = 4.5936 plusmn.0005 MeV.
