Breaking Symmetry

Our universe has things in it because chance quantum fluctuations enable. Nothing is what violates Nature’s laws — something is apparently more stable. Supersymmetry was asking for it. It was just too perfect to be withstood, and once it took the predictable hit it lit up the entire neighborhood, and, in that Big Bang, the […]

Not there? Then what would be the right word based on established etymology? Hence, I present to you the word “RETROPY,” as […]

Betelgeuse is the armpit of Orion, literally.  That is to say that it’s name translates to just that, and it is located in what astronomers politely refer to today as Orion’s shoulder. Already the second brightest star in Orion (after Rigel) and the ninth brightest star we can see, it may soon (any day, in […]

Dark Energy is the other component that constitutes the universe. It seems to be a product of space itself, and over great distances can act to reverse the effects of gravity, driving objects away from each other. No one knows what Dark Energy is, but based on it’s effects upon distant galaxies, and its even […]
