KEY THEORY. “Quantum fluctuations of the vacuum stress-energy tensor are highly non-Gaussian, and can have unexpectedly large effects on spacetime geometry.” https://lnkd.in/eeq_Rq-x View in LinkedIn

If you look closely at this old bank near Girona, you will see the remains of an ancient stone wall that nature has reclaimed, just as the jungle reclaimed entire Mayan cities. View in LinkedIn

MEGAMASER. When galaxies merge, they become extremely dense, and hydroxyl molecules produce a specific radio signal known as a maser in radio waves, and when that signal is very bright it is called a megamaser. A megamaser nicknamed Nkalakatha (a Zulu word that means big boss) has been detected 58 thousand billion billion kms from Earth, so the time that the light took to arrive could be greater than the age of the solar system. https://lnkd.in/ginnG4-u View in LinkedIn

CONDENSATE DROPLETS. “This brief review summarizes recent theoretical and experimental results which predict and establish the existence of quantum droplets (QDs), i.e., robust two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) self-trapped states in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), which are stabilized by effective self-repulsion induced by quantum fluctuations around the mean-field (MF) states.” https://lnkd.in/g78xpDpU View in LinkedIn

ULTRA-COLD MATTER. “Instead, the atoms fall into the same quantum states, and can't be distinguished from one another. At that point the atoms start obeying what are called Bose-Einstein statistics, which are usually applied to particles you can't tell apart, such as photons.” (Some planets are ultra-cold) https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

5TH STATE OF MATTER. “With a Bose-Einstein condensate, you start from a disordered state, where kinetic energy is greater than potential energy. You cool it down, but it doesn't form a lattice like a solid.” https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

LAB CONDENSATES. “To make a Bose-Einstein condensate, you start with a cloud of diffuse gas. Many experiments start with atoms of rubidium. Then you cool it with lasers, using the beams to take energy away from the atoms. After that, to cool them further, scientists use evaporative cooling.” https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE. “At that point, the atoms begin to clump together, and enter the same energy states. They become identical, from a physical point of view, and the whole group starts behaving as though it were a single atom.” https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn
