Time Names Einstein
"Person of the Century"
Albert
Einstein, whose theories on time, matter, energy, black hole, and space
helped unravel the secrets of the atom and of the universe, has been chosen
as "Person of the Century" by Time magazine. "The Naked King of Physics"
contributed more than any other scientist to the modern vision of physical
reality. Einstein earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his
theories of General and Special Relativity. President Franklin Roosevelt
was chosen as runners-up by Time. Time also chose Amazon.com founder,
Jeff Bezos, as its Man of the Year.
Alien
Screen Saver?
Researchers at UC Berkeley are asking Internet users to help them find
Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ET) signals. In order to help, all
you need to do is download a screen saver program from http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/.
When you don't use your computer, this software (screen saver) connects
your computer to a radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. By connecting
your computer to this telescope, your computer analyses a small amount
of data observed by the telescope. Once more computers use this screen
saver, more telescope data can be analyzed, and therefore, a greater chance
of finding an ET signal!
Speed
of Light at 38 mph?
It
is amazing. It is true. It is a new revolution in our science
and technology. By shooting a laser beam of light through a super-cooled
glob of a kind of optical molasses, scientists at Harvard University have
been able to slow the speed of light to just 38 miles per hour (mph), 20
million times slower than its normal speed in vacuum (186,000 miles per
second). Even cars can go faster than this speed! The substance
that slows the light, called Bose-Einstein condensate, is a microscopic
glob of atoms slowed to almost absolute zero. But that is not all...
Scientists are now planning to use this idea to decrease the speed of light
even 1000 times more. The applications of this slow light is still
unknown.
