There was a NYT item today by Dennis Overbye about what I think is this: http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.01734 CBS headline said "brightest galaxy in early universe". I don't yet understand what all the excitement is about. But I think that is the link to the professional paper that is getting the...

It says here that time dilation due to gravity can cause decoherence: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27735-Earth's-gravity-may-force-us-to-do-quantum-experiments-in-space.html But.. wouldn't the effect of time dilation be more like a modification of the expected unitary evolution, so...

I want to read cosmology articles.Is there any paper archive site ? I know arXiv but Is there another sources which I can read new papers (dailly or weekly updated ) ? And Is there any site which include only cosmological paper (It s not so important for me but I want to ask it again ) What's...

I'm familiar with the delayed choice experiment, and I'm trying to suss out this new setup. http://www.sciencealert.com/reality-doesn-t-exist-until-we-measure-it-quantum-experiment-confirms Reading this article is not very beneficial if there's a confounding typo. Paragraph 10: Should that...

There is an article on procedural texture generation by example. I'm trying to implement it, and got lost in the mathematics. http://graphics.cs.kuleuven.be/publications/LVLD10PISTE/ The outline of the algorithm is thus: We start with a noise-like photo. Do a 2D DFT of it: Compute the power...

"In quantum gravity, the problem of time is a conceptual conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics. Roughly speaking, the problem of time is that there is none in general relativity. This is because in general relativity, the Hamiltonian is a constraint that must vanish. However...

I thought this was an interesting article on dark matter, what might this kind of DM be made from? I also wondered could DM help explain in some way where all the anti matter ended up? http://www.space.com/27794-dark-matter-destroying-neutron-stars.html
