Graphic Design Blog > The Winners of the 3 Quarks Daily 2010 - 3quarksdaily
[3quarksdaily] Thanks so much to the good folk at 3 Quarks Daily, to those who voted for my blog post, and of course to Richard Dawkins. Ive been a fan of his since I first read “The Selfish Gene” back in the seventies, and knowing that he came to visit my little blog and liked what he read is both boggling and thrilling.

[Scientific Blogging] The 450-GeV Quark That Wouldn't Go Away: The authors reconstruct the putative mass of the new heavy quark with a fit technique which is identical to that of regular top mass measurement, save for the lack of any b-tagging information. This complicates matters, because if one does not have b-tags to indicate which jets come from the W decay and which ones do not, there are many different ways (12, if you are curious) to assign jets to the partons originated in the decay chain t't'bar ->
[weird things] looking for gods in the quantum mesh « weird things: As pointed out a few times on this blog, the realm of quantum mechanics has been used and abused by just about everyone from the woo faithful of the New Age movement, to enthusiastic scientists trying to create a new theory of consciousness , often substituting the word quantum for an actual .So how exactly does one of the people behind the discovery of quarks manage to suddenly cast away all his knowledge on the subject and come up with such a mess of a proposal?
[Stochastic Scribbles] Quark stars as magnetars : Stochastic Scribbles: The computer simulations also suggest that it might take days to thousands of years for a heavy enough neutron star to turn into a quark star after a supernova, presumably after the thermal activity of the neutrons cool off so that the heat would no longer help prop up the neutron star. And given that less than 5% of the mass of a neutron is due to its constituent quarks, with the rest from the binding energy between the quarks and their kinetic energy, the transition from a neutron star to a quark star should release humongous amounts of energy as a significant portion of the neutron star’s mass turns into pure energy.

[Scienceline] The Most Powerful Machines on Earth » Scienceline: With price tags likely to top $10 billion, either of the next-generation colliders would require massive international cooperation. Delahaye estimates for materials alone, the ILC will cost about $6.4 billion in 2010 dollars, not including the salaries of an estimated 130,000 full time workers needed to construct the machine. Scientists will release official cost analysis for the CLIC later this year.
