In unique stellar laboratory, Einstein's theory passes strict

Taking advantage of a unique cosmic configuration, astronomers have measured an effect predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity in the extremely strong gravity of a pair of superdense neutron stars. Essentially, the famed physicist's 93-year-old theory passed yet another test.

Einstein's Theory Passes Strict New Test

FiReaNGeL writes with an excerpt from a story at e! Science News: "Taking advantage of a unique cosmic configuration, astronomers have measured an effect predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity in the extremely strong gravity of a pair of superdense neutron stars. Essentially, the famed physicist's 93-year-old theory passed yet another test. Scientists at McGill University used the National Science Foundation's Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) to do a four-year study of a double-star system unlike any other known in the Universe. The system is a pair of neutron stars, both of which are seen as pulsars that emit lighthouse-like beams of radio waves."

Theory of Relativity Passes Another Test

Einstein's theory of General Relativity has been around for 93 years, and it just keeps hanging in there. With advances in technology has come the ability to put the theory under some scrutiny. Recently, taking advantage of a unique cosmic coincidence, as well as a pretty darn good telescope, astronomers looked at the strong gravity from a pair of superdense neutron stars and measured an effect predicted by General Relativity. The theory came through with flying colors.

Unique pulsars prove Einstein's theory

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Einstein's theory of general relativity holds up, according to astrophysicists who tested it against a unique cosmological configuration of two pulsars orbiting each other.

Einstein was right: Unique stellar system provides 'laboratory' for testing relativity

The double pulsar PSR J0737-3039AB consists in a binary system made two pulsars in a 2.4-hour orbit. Each pulsar emits radio waves along its magnetic poles that illuminate Earth-based radio-telescopes like rotating lighthouse beacons as they spin one ...

A letter regarding Tommaso Toffoli's review of Probability Theory: The Logic of Science

I was astonished to read, in Tommaso Toffoli's review of Probability Theory: The Logic of Science, by E. T. Jaynes, a gratuitous ad hominem attack on the late R. A. Fisher. How does it advance the debate on the relative merits of frequentist and Bayesian foundations of probability theory to directly slander Fisher as a "pooh-bah" (defined in my Concise Oxford Dictionary as a "pompous, self-important person"), and to write out his full name and titles, his (hard-earned) Cambridge education and honors in a way clearly meant to be mocking? Fisher died 42 years ago, and I did not know him personally; also I am not qualified to argue for or against his philosophy of statistical inference. But as a former agricultural researcher I can say that his contributions to statistics and experimental design for field and laboratory trials are worthy of

CONTROP's FOX Thermal Imaging Cameras with the Unique Continuous Zoom FLIR Lens...

EUROSATORY 2008 – CONTROP FOX cameras were showcased at EUROSATORY 2008. Visitors were invited to the CONTROP booth in the Israel Pavilion (hall 6, stand 240d) to actually operate this unique IR camera with a 'hands on' approach. The operator can zoom in and zoom out with the specialised unique continuous zoom FLIR lens, a technology not matched by any other infrared camera provider. This unique feature enables the operator to keep focus and clear sight of the target while getting a closer look during continuous zoom with the FLIR lens; unheard of in other IR cameras.

Tenise Barker Takes On RIAA Damages Theory

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Tenise Barker, the young social worker from the Bronx who took on the RIAA's 'making available' theory and won, has now launched a challenge to the constitutionality of the RIAA's damages theory. In her answer to the RIAA's amended complaint [PDF], she argues that recovering from 2,142 to 428,571 times the actual damages would be a violation of Due Process. She says that the Court could avoid having to find the statute unconstitutional by construing the RIAA's complaint as alleging a single copyright infringement — the use of an 'online media distribution system' — and limiting the total recovery to $750. In the alternative, she argues, if the Court feels it cannot avoid the question, it should simply limit the plaintiffs' damages to $3.

Makers of the invisibleSHIELD Fight Bulky Cases in Search of a Scratch-Free World SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)-- On July 11, as the consumers lined up across the nation for the new iPhone 3G, thousands of soon-to-be owners were joined by giant, bulky, yellow cell phone cases. ZAGG (OTCBB: ZAGG), makers of a full-body protective skin called the invisibleSHIELD, was responsible for this unique campaign introducing their military-grade ultra-thin, ultra-tough transparent skin that protects the new 3G (and over 2500 other gadgets) without adding bulk. Early reviews of the iPhone 3G show that it scratches more easily than its predecessor. In order to tout their product's unique qualities, ZAGG has launched a creative video campaign in which "Bulky Case," a man in an oversized yellow costume, struggles to perform daily tasks.

Big problems for PS3 update 2.40

Here’s the theory: Sony creates a firmware update designed to enhance the PS3’s functionality and, more to the point, your gaming pleasure. The process of doing so should, in theory again, involve thoroughly testing the update in order to wheedle out every last nasty bug so that the update is 100% stable when it’s finally released. So that’s the theory. Can you see where we’re going with this yet...?

07/10/08 - Congress Repeals Lab Competitive Bidding, Reverses Physician Pay Cut

The Senate on July 9 approved legislation that repeals the laboratory competitive bidding demonstration project, extends the so-called "TC grandfather clause" for 18 months, and reverses the 10.6 percent cut in physician reimbursements that took effect July 1. The measure already passed the House and now goes to the president for his signature. “This is a great day for laboratories and the Medicare beneficiaries who rely on critically important laboratory services,” said Alan Mertz, president of the American Clinical Laboratory Association (ACLA). “We now urge President Bush to sign this much needed legislation into law as soon as possible.”

New Study Finds Clumps and Streams of Dark Matter in the Milky Way

One of the leading theories for how the universe evolved after the Big Bang is the Cold Dark Matter Theory (CDM). This theory proposes that chilly dark matter moved slowly in the early universe, allowing matter to clump together to form the clusters of galaxies that we see, instead of matter being distributed evenly across the universe. Using the properties of the CDM theory, astronomers recently ran an intensive computer program using one of the world's most powerful supercomputers to simulate the halo of dark matter that envelopes our galaxy. The simulation revealed dense clumps and streams of the mysterious dark matter lurking within our Milky Way galaxy, including the region of our solar system.

The Messaging Innovation Imperative: The Rise of Individualized RSS as Personalized Messaging Medium

Individualized RSS (IRSS) is based on the current RSS framework, but is deployed in a manner to address the aforementioned measurement and personalization challenges. IRSS is subscriber-centric, allowing end users to easily express their preferences for distinct content categories and/or receive feeds that are tailored to them using the same principles used in e-mail marketing targeting and personalization. Most important, IRSS implies these feeds will be unique, so they can be completely measurable. Such unique feeds also offer consumers the anonymity they seek. Each feed has a unique identifier (ID) that is created during the subscription process, as opposed to a permanently available e-mail address. This process allows a publisher to continue to publish to the ID, but once the user decides to stop checking the feed, there is no longer
