[VIDEO] Chandra: Listening To Light [720p]

When we look up on a dark night, we see a sky filled with stars. The light from a star, like the light from a flashlight or a lightning bug, is one form of electromagnetic radiation. Light is formed of waves, and different colors of light have different wavelengths.

What does a nebula sound like?

What does a nebula sound like? | Science News | Scoop.it

What do things sound like out in the cosmos? Of course, sound waves can’t travel through the vacuum of space; however, electromagnetic waves can. These electromagnetic waves can be recorded by devices called spectrographs on many of the world’s most powerful telescopes.

(By the way my first post makes a reference to the way the voice sounds, and that is a mistake on my part. I mistook Siri's voice for what purports to be the SpeakJet voice. Nevertheless, it is clear from the video and (better) closeup images posted elsewhere that the SpeakJet chip is completely inoperable as depicted.)

Does the quantum wave function represent reality?

Does the quantum wave function represent reality? | Science News | Scoop.it

As Colbeck and Renner explain in their paper published in Physical Review Letters, there are two prominent interpretations of the wave function dating back to its origins in the 1920s. In one view, the wave function corresponds to an element of reality that objectively exists whether or not an observer is measuring it. In an alternative view, the wave function does not represent reality but instead represents an observer's subjective state of knowledge about some underlying reality.

A board you control with your thought

Creating the Board of Awesomeness was a labor of love for the Labs team, but we were blown away by how much you loved it as well. So well that it went everywhere -- and eventually needed to be rebuilt. Well, the labs team hates to waste an opportunity to make anything better, so we started thinking about what they could do to improve it. So here it is, your 'Board of Imagination'.

Storm warning: Financial tsunami heading this way | Science News | Scoop.it

Researchers from Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with the Kiel Institute of World Economy in Germany, have developed a market "seismograph" — a new methodology that measures the interconnections between stock markets across the globe. It has the potential to serve as an early warning system and provide measures to manage and mitigate the spread of financial crisis.
