Sean's answer:
Mike– Yes, I do understand gravity, I even wrote a whole textbook about it. Check it out!
Burn! I don't get why people always say that "we don't understand gravity". They must have a different definition of "understanding" than I do.

If I understand correctly, things unexpectedly go to infinity at high energies in some QFT calculations so we basically ignore those situations. As a result everything works fine when talking about the energies we interact with normally.
[–]aroberge 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
It arises from the fact that we don't know how to calculate things exactly and we do calculations using an expansion (like a Taylor series) which, in some cases, diverges (the answer apparently goes to infinity). However, the divergence always takes the same form. So, we introduce a seemingly arbitrary way to "cut off" terms that would go to infinity. However, this seemingly arbitrary way, if applied consistently to all quantities that we calculate, yields a finite part that agrees with experiments.
To give an idea: suppose I calculate the probability of a certain reaction and I get a + B where B goes to infinity. I calculate the probability of another reaction and I get c + B, with the same B that goes to infinity. I keep doing similar calculations and there's always the same diverging term that occurs. So, I substract it off consistently from any calculations that I do and the results agree with experiments.

[–]datenwolf 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
If you look closely you'l see that the expression in the innermost braces is the standard model lagrangian. The integral applied outside of it puts that into the differential geometric frame of 4-dimensional spacetime (gravity) and the outermost integral makes this an evaluation of the action of a transistion of a system between states. The actual equation of motion can be found by finding an extremal value of this action.

[–]b0dhi -5 points-4 points-3 points 11 months ago
The author really, really wants to believe that. You can tell because otherwise they would've caught the overt contradiction in their own post (re. consciousness). And that's in addition to the unsupported assertion in the title...sigh.
[–]thmosqueiro 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
Consciousness? I believe you can pick examples in chemistry and biology. Take a single neuron. It is really hard to describe all its non-linear features from physics first principles, even for some 'simple' neuron (some of them are like hell!). Although we have good starting points (Hodgkin-Huxley model, for instance), it is far from being descriptions starting from really first principles. Even in condensed matter (or physics itself), there are some really interesting systems from which I would not be surprised if we learn new good physics.
Edit: altough I agree with datenwolf that we might not need new physics.
[–]datenwolf 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
I would not be surprised if we learn new good physics.
New fundamental, low level physics, or new high level physics? In some way chemistry is just physics. And in the same way neuology is just physics as well. The equation given by Sean Carroll is lowest level physics. It's like looking at a CPU on the silicon level and trying to understand how a highly complex program running on the CPU works from first principles. Yes, in theory this works, but if you were really trying to evaluate QFT for a physical compunter and the electron distribution there that makes up the programming, you're not going to get far. In your terms figuring out the CPU's instruction set would be called "new physics" while in reality it was actually computer science.
Same principle here. The way neurons work can definitely be described in the terms of QFT, we don't need new physics for that. But we will eventually figure out all the kinks of neurology. That would be then some higher level biophysics, be we don't have to make changes to the low level model for this.
I meant "low level", if you mean fundamental.
datenwol, I understand (and respect) that you believe no new fundamental physics is necessary to describe something as a neuron (or as b0dhi commented, protein folding), it should be only application of maxwell laws, QFT, etc. But this was not, in any level, completely done and I'm personally not willing to believe in that. Very recently, using only fundamental principles it was possible to simulate the full life cycle of a bacteria. In other cases, for instancce, this may not be truth. Something that went out in Nature this last week was regarding below zero temperature (I posted in my fb less than a day it was published). Don't you think we may gain some fundamental knowledge from this, for instance?
[–]nilaykumar 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
"But this was not, in any level, completely done and I'm personally not willing to believe in that." Why is that? I don't particularly understand the basis for this - can you expand? "Very recently, using only fundamental principles it was possible to simulate the full life cycle of a bacteria." Was there a remarkable new discovery in the first principles? (if so, link please!) "Something that went out in Nature this last week was regarding below zero temperature (I posted in my fb less than a day it was published). Don't you think we may gain some fundamental knowledge from this, for instance?" Below zero temperature is not what you think it is. It is simply a statement about the relationships between entropy and energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature). Also: the idea has been around since the mid-20th century. I believe what is new is physically realizing the setup.
I agree wholeheartedly with datenwolf; it seems rather unlikely that we can unearth fundamental, first-principle-like ideas from the collective behavior of things that we individually can describe quite well. Possible, perhaps, but quite unlikely. This seems to be a general trend in science research. I don't often see discoveries in biology or chemistry hinting at new fundamental physics. (condensed matter, etc. is quite different, as the mathematics underlying it is often parallel to that of particle physics)
condensed matter, etc. is quite different, as the mathematics underlying it is often parallel to that of particle physics
Yes, and in even that regard the existing theories often work well. For example at the chair where I did my graduation thesis a new effect on the interaction of high energy X-rays with high density matter was observed. As it turned out, it could be well explained by the exsting theory of photon-matter interaction, simply by considering higher order pertubation terms, which simply had not been included in the previously used models. So, not really new physics, but a lot of new practical applications.
I know about below-zero temperature.
"Very recently, using only fundamental principles it was possible to simulate the full life cycle of a bacteria." Was there a remarkable new discovery in the first principles? (if so, link please!)
You misunderstood this statement: I was using it as an example in favor of datenwolf. As I said, I agree with datenwolf (and you, nilaykumar) that it is very unlikely to find new grounding principles.
"But this was not, in any level, completely done and I'm personally not willing to believe in that." Why is that? I don't particularly understand the basis for this - can you expand?
Sorry if it was confusing, I thought it was pretty clear. Let me try to expand it using a simple statement from which we should be able to gather references if necessary. Is it possible to derive atomic physics using QED, electrons and nucleons? To my knowledge, we make ad hoc assumptions like Born-Oppenheimer approximation to achieve any success and all condensed matter, as datenwolf commented in his new response, is based on such things. Now, take these assumptions and derive the full spectrum of a large atom. It is very hard!!! It's not just about we cannot do it analytically, it is very hard with any known methods. This is why we go further on doing new approximations. You see that there is no connection here, strictly speaking? From QCD to atomic physics, we need to simplify stuff. From atomic physics to condensed matter, same thing. It may sound obvious, but the main thing here is that we devided physics (science, in my opinion) in "levels of complexity". And the connection of such different levels of complexity would hardly not be new fundamental physics, at least to me. Would this be just a matter of opinion? Do you agree?
We could go on in this discussion and I certainly would learn a lot from you guys, but this seems to start loosing focus from the main thread, isn't it?
Just a final comment: this was my very first participation in reddit. Hope you guys aren't pissed off at me : )
[–]nilaykumar 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
No, of course, it's often impossible to make any headway into large, complex problems without making approximations. But this is not, in any way, a problem with our fundamental understanding of physics. It becomes a problem in being able to make good approximations, or more precisely, it's a problem of not having fast enough computers.
What I was arguing against was:
Very recently, using only fundamental principles it was possible to simulate the full life cycle of a bacteria... Don't you think we may gain some fundamental knowledge from this, for instance? I don't think there's any fundamental knowledge in physics (or bio or whatnot) to be gained here, other than perhaps computational principles.
[–]b0dhi 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
Indeed. Currently, even protein folding can't be accurately predicted purely from first principles.
To argue with apparent confidence that everything in every day life can be explained from fundamental physics is very disappointing to me. It's completely anti-scientific, IMO. We study nature because we want to understand it better, not so we can delude ourselves that we already do (almost) understand it just to boost our egos or social status.
b0dhi, I think some discussions don't help at all, because people think differently. To me, all we do is modelling and I don't firmly believe they "are the underlying rules of nature". I just believe these are 'models', one way we got to describe (in some cases, with HUGE success) nature. I'm sure this will look bad for some people, try not to understand me wrong :)
We very probably don't need new physics to explain consciousness. Emergence and consciousness can be explained by the very nonlinear scaling of highly complex systems that form equally complex feedback loops. We're working on AI and learning computers. Those very likely may develop consciousness and that will then be governed entirely by the laws of computer science, not even physics (to the degree that computability is independent of the computing plattform its executed on).
[–]b0dhi -3 points-2 points-1 points 11 months ago*
Without going into whether that's correct or not, the point is that it isn't established (the blog author implicitly admits that), and therefore the assertion in the title is unsubstantiated.
There are many, many other "every day" things which can be cited which aren't explained or well understood in terms of that equation (or any other), but that becomes a moot point. If a person has arrived at such a belief at all (the one in the title), they've already either totally missed the point of science, or they just really, really want to believe it. In neither case are you going to get far by citing examples and trying to reason with them.
[–]datenwolf 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
Without going into whether that's correct or not (philosophically, it's actually very naive)
According to Occam it's actually the logical thing to assume.
the point is that it isn't established
Yes, it is. All biophysical research is based on rather simplified physical models. The equation the author gave is actually huge overkill for most applications.
(the blog author implicitly admits that)
No he doesn't.
And author's right in that regard, that everything we deal with in our everyday life can be described very accurately by this equation. This goes down to the very chemical reactions that govern the way our bodies and minds work.
Yes there are a lot of areas in physics that are still not understood. But the point is: They are not well understood, not despite, but because they're not part of our everyday experiences.
If things like dark matter, dark energy, quantum gravitation or things we're not even aware of would actually affect our everyday lifes, or even emergence or consciousness, it would be far, far easier to actually research them. But they are not! Which is the sole reason, why we heve to build machines like the LHC to create extraordinary conditions in a lab, where we can actually observe these extraordinary things.
And so far the LHC did actually show us only things we already knew and can describe by the equation the original author gave. That is quite disappointing for us physicists. We had some beautiful ideas about the Universe (supersymmetry1 ), but by the looks of it, we can all scrape them and must come up with something new.
[1]: In fact I personally had some strong reservations regarding supersymmetry. Something I cannot put my finger on does not "feel" right about it. The Standard model is kind of ugly, but it works. Supersymmetry has some (to me strange) beauty in it, but as it seems it doesn't work out.
Yes, it is. All biophysical research is based on rather simplified physical models.
This doesn't even begin to refute what I said.
Judging by your misunderstanding of Ockham's Razor, the fact that you danced around the central argument without addressing it (that fact that consciousness has not been demonstrated to be explained by the equation provided), the fact that you've conveniently ignored critical words in my post (namely, "every day"), and the fact that you apparently don't understand the difference between something suspected to be so and something demonstrated to be so, I was spot on when I said:
In neither case are you going to get far by citing examples and trying to reason with them.
[–]datenwolf 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago*
that fact that consciousness has not been demonstrated to be explained by the equation provided
The equation accurately describes the chemistry going on in the neurons of the brain. However the net effect of this chemistry, making the neurons act as a biological analog signal processor can be described by a much simpler, yet as accurate differential equation.
In the same way the very same equation accurately describes the electronic interactions going on in the transistors making up an electronic computing processor (like you find dozens of them in the machine you're reading this from). However the net effect of this electronic interaction can be described by very, very simple logical expressions.
Yet you can not deduce from this equation alone, what your computer does. This is not due to lack of understanding how a computer works. We know how computers work. We designed them. We built them. The lack of knowledge, what's missing, is the information not contained in this equation: It is in which way structures of silicon, oxygen, phosphorous, boron, arsen, gallium, aluminium, copper, gold, iron and chrome have been aranged. It also does not contain the precise arrangement of distribution of free electrons and magnetic domain orientation within some of the structures that are designed to store information. But this is not physics, that is electrical engineering (which builds on physics) and computer science (which builds on math).
In theory we could take that additional knowledge about a computer, the way its structures are made up and the patterns of electron density and magnetic domain orientation, and put them into the equation. The problem is, that with that much information applied evaluating only a single time step of what this equation describes would take prohibitively long: Simulating physics on the scale of a typical computer down to quantum fields, over a period of 1ns on the super computers available right now would take longer than several times the Universes age. However we can use the greatly simplified logical models of transistors and logic gates and run a simulation based on that. And when we do that, our simulated computer will behave exactly as if we had the real thing. This is not a theoretical construct. That's how emulators work.
It is not far fechted, but only natural to assume, that in the same way deductions made from the equations to form a simplified model of a transistor (this is what the guys that design microelectronics actually do, they start with very accurate physics which they simplify so far, that they can use it to design electronic structures), we can also make deductions about the working of a brain's building blocks to form a simplified model. And in the same way that we need additional information complementing this model to understand a computer (its architecture and programming) we can understand the brain, once we understand its internal structure, i.e. how the neurons form functional regions, and the very signals it processes and passes between the functional regions. So what we really lack in understanding is knowledge in the area of neurobiology (the engineering part) and neurocognition (the math part). But the underlying physics is well understood.
You wrote
There are many, many other "every day" things which can be cited which aren't explained or well understood in terms of that equation
which clearly shows that you don't understand what this equation describes, and what it doesn't. This equation describes, how things interact. It does not predict the world. If you stuff into it four protons in close proximity the right temperature and pressure it will describe how these will fuse into Helium cores, releasing energy. But this formula by itself does not describe a star (EDIT fixed a typo here). It needs additional data, for example the arrangement of hydrogen atoms in a region of space.
I hereby take up the challenge. Name me a few "every day" things and I'll happily explain to you, how this equation can be applied to describe them.
they've already either totally missed the point of science
Empirical science goes as follows:
Make a new observation
Formulate a hypothesis. Important If you have a theory that explains your observations so far, the hypothis may not contradict your existing experimental data (people not trained in science often forget that second part) and should allow to extract the existing theory as a corner case.
Perform experiments to test the hypothesis. If the hypothesis doesn't pass the test, goto step 2.
Formulate a theory
Use the theory to describe the things observed in nature. Once you observe something new that can not be explained by your theory, goto step 1
Right now we're at step 5 (and well also 2 regarding cosmology). The equation is the result of step 4 of the previous interation of this process. And so far it's holding up very, very good. Dark matter and Dark Energy are for sure new observations, so that's where we are at step 2 right now. But those are not every day things.
and the fact that you apparently don't understand the difference between something suspected to be so and something demonstrated to be so
It is impossible to demonstrate something to be in a certain way. The only thing you can do in empirical science is, suspecting how things probably work (models and theories) and then trying to deproof this suspicion in experiments (data).
"citing examples", in other words data and "reaso with them", in other words formulating theories is how science works.
I was recently discussing consciousness with a few friends (science and non-science majors alike) and this is essentially the same conclusion we came to. This is an excellently written reply, thank you.

I agree that one ventures into the realm of philosophy when making positive claims about understanding anything, especially something as nebulous as the notion of reality, but I think the spirit of the article is to say that these mathematical constructions allow us to make remarkably accurate predictions about future events given sufficient knowledge of the starting parameters.
I think most of us, at least most of the time, would qualify that as a kind of understanding.

CORPUS CHRISTI - One man is dead, another one is hurt, and the shooter is still on the loose after an incident early Sunday morning at the Paradise Bay Apartments.
Police say they found a 21-year-old man dead at the apartment along with the 18-year-old in critical condition.
Officers say it's unclear whether the shooting is gang related.
The shooter is only described as a young Hispanic male.

Vina del Mar, Chile (Sports Network) - Rafael Nadal was in top form once again in his first tournament since coming back from a seven-month layoff, with the former world No. 1 easily getting past Jeremy Chardy to reach the championship match of the ATP World Tour's VTR Open.
The top-seeded 11-time Grand Slam champion needed just over an hour to dispose of the third-seeded Chardy by a 6-2, 6-2 score in Saturday's semifinals on the red clay at Club Naval de Campo Las Silnas. Nadal began the match by breaking a shaky Chardy, who double-faulted three times on his first serve, and recorded three more breaks of the Frenchman later on.
The Spanish star, who had been sidelined since the summer by a knee injury, will now shoot for his 37th career clay-court title when he faces unseeded Horacio Zeballos in Sunday's final.
Zeballos, ranked 73rd in the world, earned his second career ATP final by upending eighth-seeded and fellow Argentine Carlos Berlocq 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) in Saturday's first semi. The left-hander hammered out a 76 percent success rate on first serves to knock out Berlocq, who lost to countryman Juan Monaco in the title match of this event last year.
The 27-year-old Zeballos, who previously took out fourth-seeded Pablo Andujar and No. 5 seed Albert Ramos to reach the semis, last reached a tournament final at St. Petersburg in 2009, a loss to Serhiy Stakhovsky.
The winner of Sunday's title bout will collect $74,000.

I smoke weed since 2010, but always with breaks of 2-3 months after I start developing a social anxiety, and very accelerated and confused thoughts. I have always bought from a dealer, but now I'm ready to grow my own weed. I have a mild social anxiety which is increased while i'm smoking. Which strain you reccommend to me?

You said "I have a mild social anxiety which is increased while I'm smoking". Doesn't that answer your question?

lucas…if you're a card carrier, and are using medically under a doctor's supervision–ask him if a beta blocker blood pressure medication in low dose would be available. Pot's a beta antagonizer, and that's where the social anxiety comes from (which is, coincidentally, why indica strains are less likely to induce paranoia and anxiety. The construction of the THC molecule in indica and sativa strains differ slightly, and therefor bind to different receptors in the brain with more efficiency)
Yup, I researched the HELL out of this before I accepted smoking medically as my best option–I had developed a fairly major substance abuse issue in my teens,, BARELY got out of it alive and sane, and was terrified that since I had started THAT fall with pot and booze that I'd go right back down that path…so I and the two doctors in conjunction that determined MMJ was my best bet studied the HELL out of the issue before endorsing my use.

The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable.
There were no hooks or towel racks in or around the bathroom. In fact, the fresh towels had been laid out on a portable suitcase rack. The bathroom sink had very little surface on which to place items.
The Pearl River Hilton is a pretty hotel in a beautiful location.Beautiful lobby and scenery
They did not have my reservation in the computer so my room wasn't what i asked for and the reservation stated 12pm check out and they were knocking at my door at 11:30am to check out. And was suppose to have Evelyn lotions in the room and there wasn't.
Hotel was very clean and the rooms wee nice. The public spaces were clean and nice . The fireplaces were lit and gave it a great feeling. I have been here before for a luncheon and it was nice to stay this time .
The room was spacious, attractive and the King bed very comfy. The breakfast hot buffet was very good.
The bathroom was a bit small (and we are not large people!)
A little off the beaten track but if you're looking for a clean, quiet and nicely appointed hotel with a more-than-adequate breakfast this is a good choice. Definitely a good value.The rooms and beds were great, spacious and very comfortable
Lovely, convenient suburban location. Front desk staff was very friendly. The restaurant was excellent; we had dinner and breakfast and enjoyed both.Well appointed. Room was extremely comfortable. Amenities above standard.
Our particular room had a lot of dead space. Better design wojuld provide more room.
One of the better places I have stayed in Rockland County. Definitely a return trip in mind.The location was set back near a golf course with lots of vegetation and wildlife nearby. Staff was great and highlighted some great local spots including a brewery. Great spot for relaxation!
Distance from NYC was not far but you have tedious driving across the bridges
Very helpful staff, nice bar and restaurant on site. Quiet setting next to golf course, great for business or vacation. Quaint towns with a large shopping mall not far.The hotel and staff were very nice.
The thing I didn't like was the valet parking. They blocked parking rows so that guests could not park their cars. If you couldn't find a spot in one of the rows you had to back out because they block the row from getting out.
Great location, Great Hotel and staff compared to staying in NYC or NE NJ.It was a wonderful stay!
Everything was perfect!
Well to start off the gentleman at the desk was new...he did a great job! Woman at the desk was very helpful! Informed me of all the amenities. Lounge was right off the main lobby, as was the restaurant. There was a pool and gym...unfortunately we weren't there long enough to use it. I was very impressed with everything! :-)The lobby and grounds were very beautiful
My room seemed 'cheaper' than the rest of the hotel, also i was put in a handicap room with a very awkward shower
The hotel overall was fine, the lobby and grounds were very nice, however my room seemed average. The staff though was very friendly and helpful and that is always a big plus for me. I am not sure why i was in a handicap room, with a very awkward unrelaxing shower, but by the time i had checked in it was very late so i didnt bother changing.

GREENSBURG, Pa. -- Richard Orkwis remembers walking past the plate, plucking up a piece of steak and popping it into his mouth.
He can't remember what happened next.
"He almost died," said his wife, Mindy.
Orkwis' face went blue from the lack of oxygen caused by the meat lodged in his throat, said one paramedic who answered the call to his Natrona home just after midnight on Jan. 9.
Football fans Richard and Mindy Orkwis lamented the overtime loss of the Steelers to the Broncos while they enjoyed their favorite dinner, tenderloin steak, in their upstairs bedroom.
They turned in early; next day it was back to work.
Later, Orkwis, 56, woke up and headed for the bathroom. As he walked past a dresser, he picked up the bite of steak as he headed toward the hallway.
Then he collapsed.
Mindy tried to dislodge the food. "I got scared and called 911," she said.
Citizen Hose emergency medical technician Jim Erb arrived first, followed by EMT Jim Bartolovich and paramedic Matt Rusiewicz.
"I tried abdominal thrusts. They didn't work. I looked for an obstruction and, just then, Matt came in," Erb recalls.
"He was blue in the face and gasping when I arrived," Rusiewicz said.
He had to use forceps and another tool to reach the blockage that was deep in Orkwis' throat.
"It started to fall apart and that caused a brief problem, but I was able to get the meat out and clear the airway," Rusiewicz said.
Most of what happened is a mystery to Orkwis.
"God bless these guys. They saved my life. I'm happy to live to tell about it," Orkwis said.
"I remember getting up at 12 a.m. and getting the piece of meat. I guess I chewed a couple of times instead of 52 times and swallowed," he said. "I don't remember the next 25 minutes when I started to wake up in the ambulance and then I was in the hospital."
He spent the day getting tests in Allegheny Valley Hospital in Harrison.
Erb said the Citizen Hose crew was assisted greatly by Allegheny County 911 employees George Bitz and Denila Parrish as Orkwis' condition grew more serious.
Orwis was indeed flirting with death, said Dr. Tom McClure, an internal medical specialist and chief medical officer for Allegheny Valley Hospital.
"The people who are at the most risk are people under (age) 1 and over 75, but choking can happen to anyone," he said.
Lack of oxygen for four minutes or more puts people in danger of brain damage and death, he said.
Orkwis, the father of two, said he feels blessed and is happy to be back at Glassmere Fuels, where he has worked for 27 years.
Even after the ordeal, he still loves steak.
"We had it three days later and it was great," he said.

Maryland exports rebound to pre-recession levels in 2012
- Jack Lambert
- Digital Producer- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Maryland exported more than $11.8 billion in merchandise goods in 2012, an 8 percent increase over the state's $10.9 billion export total a year before.
Transportation equipment was the most popular Maryland export, according to data compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce released Tuesday by the International Trade Administration. The state exported $3.2 billion of transportation equipment, 27 percent of Maryland's total exports. Chemicals came in second with $2 billion in exports, while computer and electronics ranked third with a $1.8 billion exports total from Maryland.
Nonelectrical machinery was responsible for 10 percent, or $1.2 billion worth of Maryland exports last year.
Last year was the first time in the last four years that Maryland has topped its 2008 export total. The state shipped more than $11.3 billion in goods in 2008, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, before exports tapered off with the country's economic recession.
Exports have steadily increased since then, with $9.2 billion worth of exports in 2009 and $10.1 billion in 2010.
The state shipped $1.8 billion of goods to Canada in 2012, the No. 1 export market for Maryland last year. Saudi Arabia, which received $858 million worth of exports, was followed by the United Kingdom ($575 million), China ($558 million), and Japan ($465 million).
Overall, the U.S. exported $2.2 trillion in goods and services in 2012, according to the International Trade Administration.

Genki Dean wasn't expected to qualify for the 2012 Olympics, let alone make it to the finals on Saturday. But the 20-year-old college student has done just that.
Dean secured his ticket to the finals with a throw of 82.07 meters during the preliminaries earlier this week. It was a major improvement from his first throw of 71.58 meters, nearly 10 meters short of the qualifying distance.

If you happen to go to this E.R. and he is doctor request another doctor immediatly. This man has no compassion for people who are in pain. And if he cannot find any results from labs he tells you are fabricating an illness. After he called me a drug seeker and refused to treat me I was discharged. The pain continued into the next day and I found myself in another emergency room and they did labs and did an ultrasound and low and behold I had kidney stones. This is a downright bad doctor and if you get him RUN!

This radar image of asteroid 2005 YU55 was generated from data taken in April of 2010 by the Arecibo Radar Telescope in Puerto Rico.
An asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will fly by Earth closer than the moon on Nov. 8. NASA announced, yesterday, that it was making final preparations to study the asteroid as it flies by.
The fly-by presents a unique opportunity, because scientists are able to make observations without sending a spacecraft to it.

A teacher walks by during a parade in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki on Thursday. Parades were held across Greece on Thursday to mark the 61st anniversary of the country's resistance to Axis forces, which dragged Greece into World War II. Some bystanders also seized the opportunity to shout anti-austerity slogans.
World markets rallied Thursday after European leaders agreed on a plan to deal with the eurozone debt crisis. But in Greece, the most imperiled country, there was skepticism that the deal will do much to help the country out of recession.
In addition, many Greeks also fear that they are losing their sovereignty, and are uncomfortable about the role Germany will be playing in the country's financial future.

UPS was among the top scorers in a new index ranking companies on political transparency and accountability.
For the first time, 100 of America's biggest corporations are being rated on the transparency of their political activities.
On Friday, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and the nonpartisan Center for Political Accountability will release an index that ranks the S&P 100 companies. The rankings come as politicians employ new loopholes — and the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision — to solicit secret, million-dollar contributions from corporate donors.

European leaders hammered out a deal early Thursday morning to pull Greece back from the edge of default and provide a bigger buffer of cash for other vulnerable EU countries. The details, though, remain to be worked out, and many experts question whether meltdowns will spread across the Eurozone.

In cities from Atlanta to Oakland, residents and business owners have complained about clogged sidewalks, filthy parks and loud protests. Occupy Wall Street demonstrators continue to assert their right to gather, and have sparked demonstrations all over the world.
Should the middle class be eligible for Medicaid?
The health program, funded jointly by the feds and the states, was devised to cover the poor. But if a provision in last year's health law isn't changed that could be the case for people with pretty healthy incomes.

This NOAA GOES East satellite image shows Hurricane Rina over the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Tourists and residents are fleeing Mexico's Yucatan peninsula ahead of Hurricane Rina, which is forecast to make landfall early Friday morning. The good news is that Rina has weakened and will continue to do so for the next two days. Right now, the Hurricane Center says Rina has maximum sustained winds of 70 mph.

Supporters of the moderate Islamist party Ennahda celebrate Tuesday after the party received the most votes to form an assembly that will write a new constitution. Tunisia was the first Arab country to stage a revolution this year, and the first to hold elections.
A Yemeni woman in the capital Sana'a holds up a copy of the Quran while others raise their palms painted with the colors of the Yemeni (left), Libyan (center) and Syrian flags during a demonstration on Monday against President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The heady days of the Arab uprisings have seemingly passed, and now the countries that tossed out autocratic leaders, or are still trying to, face much more difficult tasks.
Tunisians held a successful election on Sunday, but now must form a government and write a constitution. Libyans have not only purged but killed former leader Moammar Gadhafi. Now, they face enormous difficulties in unifying the country in the wake of his regime's total destruction.

Deer Tick.
The title of Deer Tick's new album, Divine Providence, is a pun: The band hails from the capital of Rhode Island. But the other side of the pun is sarcastic. There's little on the album concerning divine providence or care. Nor is the band provident — frugal or prudent — about its talent and music. Group frontman John McCauley continues to sing as though the primary idea is to shred his vocal cords.
An alleged scandal involving doctors, a union president and hundreds of Long Island Rail Road workers led to the arrest of 10 people today on charges related to what officials say was a scam that paid an estimated $1 billion in disability benefits to people who didn't deserve them.

MICHEL MARTIN, host: I'm Michel Martin, and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News.
A little later in the program, we'll speak with the founder of Outdoor Afro. That's a website dedicated to trying to persuade more people of color to add hiking and other outdoor adventures as vacation destinations.
But first we want to talk about that Occupy Wall Street movement that spread far beyond Wall Street to cities across the country. But as the movement has grown so have the tensions as protestors continue to occupy public spaces like parks.
The new documentary The Education of Dee Dee Ricks premieres on HBO Thursday. It charts the story of a self-admitted vain white businesswoman who questions her lavish life after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She realizes how lucky she is to be able to afford treatment. This galvanizes Ricks to advocate and raise money for poor, uninsured cancer patients — many who happen to be women of color. Michel Martin speaks with Dee Dee Ricks about her personal transformation and outreach.
A University of Wyoming survey finds that 78 percent of visitors to America's national parks and forests are white, compared to nine percent Hispanic and seven percent black. Rue Mapp is trying to change that. She speaks with Michel Martin about her website 'Outdoor Afro,' which aims to educate African-Americans about the importance of getting involved with the outdoors.
Mel Ming tells NPR that five years from now, he hopes to bring Sesame Workshop to 50 percent of the world's children.
H. Melvin Ming didn't take the easy route to become the new chief of Sesame Workshop. He started in Bermuda and went through the U.S. Army and difficult times at NPR to join the small club of black CEOs in America. Ming replaces NPR's newly hired CEO and former Sesame Workshop CEO Gary Knell.
He recently joined Tell Me More host Michel Martin for a "Wisdom Watch" conversation.

As part of Tell Me More's occasional series "In Your Ear," restaurateur and Top Chef winner Kevin Sbraga shares some of his favorite songs. They include titles from R&B crooner John Legend and hip-hop icons Wu-Tang Clan.
The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday to lift the no-fly zone over Libya on Oct. 31 and end its authorization of military action to protect civilians.
The council authorized the actions on March 17 in response to an Arab League request to try to halt Moammar Gadhafi's military, which was advancing against rebels and their civilian supporters. The NATO bombing campaign that followed was critical in helping the rebels oust Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi from power in August.
As the widow of the Ohio man who last week paralyzed a community by releasing 56 lions, tigers, bears and other exotic animals from his farm came this afternoon to claim the six creatures who survived, the Ohio Department of Agriculture put a stop to her plans.

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Musee d'Orsay in Paris have two of the world's best collections of the work of the French postimpressionist Edgar Degas. The two museums have collaborated on an important show called Degas and the Nude, which includes pieces from major museums and private collections all over the world. Classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz, who lives in Boston, was moved by the show, which also triggered a sweet personal memory.

If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em.
That's the rallying cry for conservationists who are recruiting cooks — and their filet knives and frying pans — to the fight against invasive fish species.
Young Libyan men who less than a year ago were "hopeless layabouts" are now "marriageable heroes" because they took up arms against the regime of Moammar Gadhafi and toppled the dictator who had ruled Libya for 42 years, journalist Ellen Knickmeyer writes for Foreign Policy magazine.
Or, as the magazine's headline says, "Ladies Love Libyan Rebels: The Sexual Revolution Arrives In Tripoli."
The economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the third quarter after coming to a near standstill in the first six months of the year.
There's a GPS tracker hidden inside this mild-mannered shoe.
Shoes that make the news often look funny.
Whether they're touting health benefits like those toning shoes that didn't quite pan out or the glove-like footwear being marketed as the anti-shoe.
But some GPS-enabled shoes designed to help keep track of people with Alzheimer's, look exactly like some shoes already popular with the elderly.

While learning AngularJS I have often banged my head against the wall when being faced with values defined on my controller scopes that just won't change along with the things they are representing. This post is about a common error that beginners are prone to make in such a situation, a small dive into the angular $digest loop, a short explanation of assignment of values in javascript and, finally, a way to confidently have values updated in your controllers.

REVIEW Hey, kids! Wake up and smell the freedom! Outside the RNC, for instance, where a phalanx of Taser-wielding storm troopers recently did their dirty work on citizens practicing what civics classes used to call free speech. One 19-year-old there was beaten unconscious, hooded, hauled away, and beaten some more subjected to what any dropout in years past would have rightly called torture. "Freedom" is Francophobe for fries, or else it's merely the liberty of the ruling class to plunder with impunity, slurping up every last drop of blood from the rest of us like it was Heinz 57.
Am I exaggerating? My diction may have a salty 19th-century flavor, but it's only appropriate, given this nation's inglorious march backward to the future. It's also appropriate, in its own way, that Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening (written in the 1890s) should be making a raucous but compromised comeback courtesy of Broadway. Deemed pornographic when it premiered in New York City in 1917, the German proto-expressionist work's categorical attack on the deathly sexual repression and moral hypocrisy of the age becomes after a lag time of roughly a century a financially sound formula of faux teen empowerment and positive messaging. In its big show biz incarnation, the teeth of Wedekind's restlessly outraged, poetical, funny, and morbid little play are filed down to dust, even as Steven Sater (book and lyrics) and Duncan Sheik (music) channel VH1 rebellion into some kinetic, tuneful, and exciting moments (heightened significantly by Bill T. Jones' choreography). The talented young cast rocks unabashedly to the end. But that's also where the schmaltz lies heaviest all things wicked and corrupt being made tolerable again as characters dead and alive reunite for a throaty anthem to hope and purple summer and god knows what. Roll over, Wedekind. And tell Bertolt Brecht the news.
Through Oct. 12. Tues.Sat., 8 p.m. (also Sat., 2 p.m.); Sun., 1 and 6 p.m., $30$99. Curran Theatre, 445 Geary, SF. www.shnsf.com

I taste hundreds of Chateauneuf Du Pape wines every month. These are the best value Chateauneuf Du Papes I have reviewed recently: they offer terrific value for their taste and quality. These wine reviews are updated weekly.
Search for more wine resultsJoin Us
Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most southern and important quality-dirven appellation in the southern Rhone Valley. Vintages have been known to produce one of two wine styles or expressions: highly tannic or overly jammy.
Characteristics of Chateaunef-du-Pape include deep red colour, full-bodied, spicy and aromas of red jam. Approximately 1 out 14 full-bodied bottles of red Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine contains some full-bodied white wine in the blend to keep the wines fresh in style. Many vintages command a high price.
The lineage of Chateauneuf-du-Pape can be traced back to the 14th century when the papal court of Rome relocated to Avignon, close to a limestone quarry for construction purposes. Pope Clement V arrived in Avignon in 1309 during the rebuilding of the papal summer quarters in Calcernier. He ordered the planting of grape vines.
His successor John XXII is credited with developing the papal vineyard. This area became known as Chateauneuf-du-Pape, which translates to the "Pope's new home."
Chateauneuf-du-Pape as a wine did not emerge until the 18th century. Before this, wine known as Vin d'Avignon and was grown in bulk and shipped north up river to Burgundy. This practice remained over the next few centuries as France is focused on Burgundy and Bordeaux.
By the 19th century Chateauneuf-du-Pape-Calcernier emerges, but is lighter in style than today's Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The reputation of Chataeuneuf-Calcernier grew steadily until the phylloxera epidemic of the 1870s (an aphid that ate the vine roots), which seriously affected production and quality as it did in the rest of France.
Replanting and shipping north to Burgundy continued until after WWI. With improvements in winemaking and modernization of vineyards, the name Chateauneuf-du-Pape took hold. Regulations in the early 1920s to improve Chateauneuf-du-Pape later became the basis of France's Appellation d'Origin Controlle (A.O.C).
Baron Pierre le Roy of Chateau Fortia was concerned about the quality of Chateauneuf-du-Pape post-phylloxera and WWI. His rules were some of the first to be adopted for Chateauneuf. He introduced limits on where grapes could be grown, yields, percentage of alcohol (12.5%), no external sugar or chaptalization to boost alcohol levels, a percentage of picked grapes discarded to minimize rotten and unripe grapes, rose outlawed and finally the types of grapes allowed in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
About 90% of Chateauneuf-du-Pape is red wine. There are 13 grapes are permitted in the production, though the Grenache grape is most often the majority of the blend, and is the most planted in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The other permitted red grapes are: Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, Muscardin, Counoise, Vaccarese, Terret Noir, Picpoul. The white grapes permitted in Chateauneuf-du-Pape are: Clairette, Bourbelenc, Rousanne and Picardan.
An interesting fact: If the white version of the Grenache grape, called Grenache blanc, is counted independently from the red version, there could actually be 14 permitted grapes in a Chateauneuf-du-Pape red wine blend.
Grenache is grown until it is sweetly ripe and jammy. Grenache is vinified in large cement tanks since it is prone to oxidation. Syrah is blended in to add colour and spice notes. Mourvedre adds structure and elegance. Syrah and Mourvedre are vinifed in large old oak barrels. No new oak is permitted. Thus, none of the toasty oak or vanilla of other red wines dominate the nose of this red wine. Other permitted grapes may be added at the discretion and tastes of the winemakers. After blending, other important factors are low yields and judicious use of oak make an exceptional Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine.
Chateauneuf-du-Pape is truly a wine about the stones and soils of the area: Terroir. Chateauneuf-du-Pape pairings include many types of cheeses: Goat cheese, Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, bleu. Also pair Chateauneuf-du-Pape with lamb, lamb stew, venison, braised veal and roast duck.

Have Your Say: Missionary's work ignored
IT is with interest that I have listened to and read the BBC book of the week: The Empress Dowager Cixi, the woman who modernised China. No mention was made of Timothy Richard , a heroic Welsh missionary who fought hard and long and actually advised Cixi's and her family. His advice was ignored for more than 20 years before she, at the behest of her son, finally changed her mind to try and stem the revolt that was bubbling amongst the population. His story is contained in the book Tim China, he was a man from a humble Welsh farming family who became one of the most influential shapers of 19th Century China during its emergence from over 250 years of Manchu [Qing] rule.
His achievements were many — from the founding of the first western style university at Shansi — still in existence today — to the establishment of the first international famine relief organisation.
His motivation brought mobile medical facilities that dispensed modern medicines and techniques to a disbelieving population thus countering regular epidemics. His vision of providing wealth to the nation by industrialisation, road building, railways brought him to the attention of the ruling classes. His final role was advisor to the Emperor as the revolution unfolded.
He died in obscurity after returning to London.

Your project is very interesting for all of us on this thread. You are venturing into uncharted territory. exaU2I has never been tested with AK4396. The more you clean and simplify the signal path, the more the sound will open up in terms of details and realism. There is no end to it. At this point you are enjoying the benefits of excellent player, driver and interface. Once you finish the DAC you may feel compelled to perfect the amplifiers, the speakers and eventually the room . |

Well I definitely feel the need of a speaker upgrade after this last week-end!
Now I've discovered an odd thing when playing with the U2I. I have two files at 352.8Khz 32 bits and I didn't even considered playing these in foobar without a sample rate converter. Now I accidentally played one in foobar and guess what, I was hearing music. Now how on earth is this possible?? AK4396 can play higher sampling rates?? How? I am all settled regarding the 32bits matter, I am sure the chip is ignoring the last bits. Still, what about the sampling rate? Now here's another funny thing: I also have some 24 bit / 352.8 files. And these are playing also, only that it's also coming with a terrible hiss noise. The only difference I get in Foobar is that when playing the 32bit ones it says PCM (floating point) followed by bitrate and sampling rate. Any ideas on what is happening? |

The most suspicious issue is the floating point. The exaU2I ASIO driver supports only Integer formats. Can you provide screen-shots of Foobar reporting floating point? Is it reporting floating point source file or floating point output? I would like to see the Foobar Status Bar and the media properties pane during playback. Please verify that there are no DSP plugins loaded. Check also the settings window - Output Settings. When ASIO output is selected the drop-down for output format should be blank and disabled. The ASIO driver takes over the control of the output format. You may be discovering something here. If your Foobar configuration is correct and there is no implied re-sampling than.... your DAC may be more capable than expected. We also experienced noise and distortion in some modes during our initial tests with ES9018. I would like to play the same 24 bit / 352.8 files with my DAC. I should test with the exact same Foobar settings as you. This will allow us to narrow down the root cause of the noise problem. Cheers, exa065 |

The funny thing is that when building this DAC I researched the white papers released by Anagram regarding their technology used in Cambridge CD players. Basically they were able to upsample 44.1K to 384k, bypass the DAC's digital filter and play this through AD1955 and Wolfson parts.
Here's the screen. I also can confirm the same behavior with the JRiver Media Center. Oh and I have no DSP that can affect the sample rate of the file. Last edited by SunRa; 10th April 2011 at 06:34 PM. |

I've noticed on your screen shot that in the Foobar toolbar you have a little visualization effect - Spectrum. It consumes lots of CPU resources at 352.8 kHz. Depend on the CPU you are using it may be beneficial to have it disabled. exa065 |

Hi exa,
Well, the LED indicators seem to tell that's 352.8K I am playing alright. I'll take a closer look tomorrow on this. It would be great checking this with an oscilloscope, maybe I can find something within the DIY community here in Bucharest. The 24 bits files causing the noise are from HERE the bottom half of the page. When playing these through cPlay (downsampled to 192) they are OK. Can't tell why the 32 bit files are crystal clear and all of the 24 bit files are making that hiss in the background. Anyway, this thing is getting really exciting... |

There are several optional configurations setting and you choose what suits you. With the default setup Pure Music adds a dummy album/melody in iTunes / iTunes database with tagging from the FLAC file. These "dummies" are just for integration of the FLAC files in iTunes database as the FLAC, AIFF, WAV, DXD, etc. are played directly by Pure Music. I use full memory play and with DXD and AIFF/WAV files that are upsampled (on disk) to 352.8k/32bit you need either a fast local disk or a 1Gbit network with a fast file server and it still takes 5 to 10 second to load the 500MB to over 1GB files. I will experiment with hybrid play where the file starts playing before the whole file are loaded into memory. |

are used, we'd know that the device fails to decouple properly from the PC. However. No worries. Quote from homepage EXADEVICES: Quote:

I checked my DXD 352.8k/24bit files (23 albums) and all are PCM integer and plays without any kind of noises. If you have a pointer to where the 32 bit files can be downloaded I would like to test those also. I will also convert some DXD files to floating point format and check what happens then... Have you checked the input data format your DAC chip defaults to? You should be able to change between several formats... As your DAC only uses 24 bit of the 32 bits that are clocked in each word clock frame it is possible that there are some misalignment like left vs. right justified etc..?? |
