STFC’s mission is to discover the secrets of the universe.
From investigating Universe-spanning ripples in the fabric of space time to exploring the quantum world of the unimaginably small… welcome to Big (and Little) Science at STFC.
Our major research and innovation campuses across the UK, such as Harwell and Daresbury, as well as locations around the world, oversee fundamental research in astronomy, physics, computer science and space science. Our vision is to maximise the impact of our knowledge, skills, facilities and resources for the benefit of the United Kingdom and its people .
What I don't understand about forces is WHY they exert forces. Why should electic charges or magnetic fields attract or repel each other? If mass curves spacetime, WHY should it curve soace-time? It is not satisfying to say essentially that they "just do", and that these properties are so fundamental and basic to reality and to physical laws, that we can inquire no further.
XFELs are able to produce much more intense coherent pulses, with more energy and on a shorter timescale than a Synchrotron (like Diamond), this allows us to look into materials and processes on the attosecond timescale. Something that cannot be done at a Synchrotron. So in this regard they are the next generation of these machines. However because the science that can be done on XFELs is very different than on a Synchrotron, they are actually complementary machines, which would operate at the same time.
¡¡¡WOW 😃!!! Excelente vídeo, felicitaciones. Muchas gracias por compartir. Usaré éste vídeo para mis clases. Saludos desde México. P. D. Por favor manténlo al aire
Thanks for the mention! It was great to work with you on this - It's always a pleasure to take our visitors to planets beyond our solar system both through this VR experience and also through our planetarium shows.
Interestingly, from the relation |F|= m1.m2.c^3/h and masses (m1,m2) equal to 1/3 of the proton we get the force |F|=(5.56x10^-28)^2*(3x10^8)^3/(6.626x10^-34)=12598.7 N. This value is already comparable to a nuclear force of 10000 N [otherwise c=299,792,458 m/s is only valid in a vacuum, in a material environment its velocity can be (and is) smaller]. Assuming that the three points on have the same mass m[kg] and are uniformly distributed on the circle, the cosine component of the force is |F|=(m).(m+m).c^3/h.cos60°, i.e. still |F|=m.m.c^3/h. It is also interesting that the constant c^3/h appears in the neutrino oscillations and also in the entropy of black holes.
This is so cool! Congratulations on your new job. I am sure there is a lot of dexterity required to do what you do, and your crafting days were fundamental to that.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) has the potential to significantly improve flood forecasting and risk assessment. By analyzing large amounts of historical weather data, topographical information, and other environmental factors, AI algorithms can predict the likelihood and severity of flooding with greater accuracy than traditional methods. Here are some ways AI can help predict flood risk: 1. Real-time monitoring: AI can continuously monitor weather patterns, water levels, and other environmental factors in real-time, providing early warnings of potential floods. 2. Accurate forecasting: By analyzing historical data, AI can make more accurate predictions about the likelihood and severity of flooding, allowing for more effective planning and response strategies. 3. Improved decision-making: AI can provide decision-makers with detailed information about flood risks, allowing them to make more informed choices about evacuation routes, resource allocation, and other critical decisions. 4. Faster response times: By providing real-time information and predictions, AI can help emergency responders react more quickly and effectively to floods, minimizing the impact on affected communities. 5. Cost savings: By providing more accurate predictions and improving decision-making, AI can help reduce the costs associated with flood response and recovery efforts. Overall, AI has the potential to revolutionize flood forecasting and risk assessment, helping communities better prepare for and respond to flood events. As AI technology continues to evolve and improve, we can expect even more advanced capabilities in this area in the future.ographical information, and other environmental factors, AI algorithms can predict the likelihood and severity of flooding with greater accuracy than traditional methods.

VERY INTERESTING ! (scientifically and historically) ; a very relevant addition to the other (more recent) two videos : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qB8Yhp2XojA.html (2009) and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BUJiceFZ9ew.html (2020). Thank you !
Unfortunately no, the telescope would be overwhelmed by the albedo of the lunar surface. The ELT's adaptive optics system relies on natural or artificial guide stars, which would not work in the case of trying to image the lunar surface as the surface is very bright: elt.eso.org/about/faq/#question_27
Think I heard somewhere else discussing this beast that it would be able to get as clear as a pixel every 10 meters as well. That number might be slightly off but I feel people have a misconception about the closeness of the moon. On the place side we have had many orbiters give us amazing photos of the landing sites and rover tracks
No need! We have a ton of images of the Apollo landing sites taken by the LRO - the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. And yes, you can see where the experiments are, and the paths the astronauts walked, and the tracks of the rovers they drove. And yes, you can match up the film footage from the surface, with the photos of each landing site. And yes, we have 390kg of Apollo lunar rock and soil samples, split into more than 30,000 samples, which have been examined by over 500,000 geologists, and all of them agree on the exclusively lunar source of this material.
It is one of the most exciting things that I always have in mind when I think about priceless and irreplaceable treasures from the past: finding a technique (which I assume would have to be an ultra-sensitive and meticulous, multiple scan that would detect what was written on each layer) and some machines even made ad hoc for it. Thinking about being able to read entire libraries like these, and others that undoubtedly (I suppose under essentially the same conditions) will be in Pompeii and Herculaneum. The amount of direct data, copies of the moment, literature of classics and minor authors of which we had no idea or had nothing..., in addition to historical records of businesses, laws and trials, etc etc... It's one of the things I really get excited thinking about. I do not know if there is even the possibility of finding writings from the classical period of this type in places or on supports that have been well preserved: for example, on parchments or other supports, and buried, hidden, or buried in dry, desert climates. ...etc. But I don't think it is even remotely comparable to what the inhabitants of two rich cities at the time of the disaster could give us. Good luck with the investigations. I believe it is a unique project but also with incalculable repercussions. And it is there. Or to dig up, but in a known area. If it were possible to successfully access all this written documentation as a first-hand source, its importance for Western culture and its history would be much greater than the historical data that the remains of the two cities can give us. Of a different nature and category, but also more transcendent. - Es una de las cosas más excitantes que siempre tengo en mente cuando pienso en tesoros del pasado de valor incalculable e insustibuíbles: dar con una técnica ( que doy por hecho que tendría que ser un escaneado ultrasensible y meticuloso, y múltiple que detectase lo escrito en cada capa ) y unas máquinas incluso hechas ad hoc para ello. Pensando en poder leer bibliotecas enterass como éstas, y otras que sin duda ( supongo que en igual condiciones esencialmente) habrá en Pompeya y Herculano. La cantidad de datos directos, copias del momento, literatura de clásicos y de autores menores de los que no teníamos idea o no teníamos nada...., además de registros históricos de negocios, leyes y juicios, etc etc.... Es una de las cosas que realmente me emociono pensando. No sé si hay la posibilidad siquiera de encontrar escritos de la época clasica de este tipo en sitios o en soportes que se hayan podido consevar bien: por ejemplo , en pergaminos u otros soportes, y enterrados , escondidos, o sepultados en climas secos, deserticos...etc. Pero no creo que sea ni de lejos comparable a lo que los habitantes de dos ciudades ricas de la época del desastre nos podrían aportar. Suerte con las investigaciones. Yo creo que es un proyecto único pero también de repercusiones incalculables. Y está ahí. O por desenterrar, pero en un área conocida. Si se lograse acceder con éxito a toda esa documentación escrita como fuente de primera mano , su importancia para la cultura occidental y la historia de la misma sería mucho mayor que los datos históricos que nos puedan dar los restos de las dos ciudades. De naturaleza y categoría distinta, pero también más transcendente.
Itd be interesting if you could ground the charge of the balloon while doing the test too. Suspend the balloon in the middle. Smaller balloon too for a small dome.
Nope. Lise Meitner sat in The park watching children throwing SNOW BALLS. When those hit a surface or another SNOW BALL they "exploded" into "NEWCLEAR". She called it "FISSION". IT IS WHEN THE SPERM ENTERS THE EGG AND LIFE STARTS. LIVING CELL DEVIDES AND MULTIPLY INTO LIFE OF A HUMAN. THE LIVING CELL IS THE "ATOM". All BOGUS.
Nice video, so many comment!. This came up on the home page. Reconise the places. ISIS and a fair amount of the people. I did things with them, ISIS people. Nice path down from the top, Ridgeway at the end by the horse stud,on the drone shot,. Good on the bike, until something happens, steep chalk path.
