Cool clouds turn light to matter

A fleeting pulse of light has been captured and then made to reappear in a different location by US physicists.

The quantum sleight of hand exploits the properties of super-cooled matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. The emerging pulse was slightly weaker than the high-speed beam that entered the experimental setup, but was identical in all other respects. The work, published in the journal Nature, could one day lead to advances in computing and optical communication. "Instead of light shining through optical fibres into boxes full of wires and semiconductor chips, intact data, messages, and images will be read directly from the light," said Professor Lene Vestergaard Hau of Harvard University and one of the authors of the paper.

The Harvard team rose to prominence in the late 1990s when they slowed light from its constant 299,792km/s (186,282mps) to a leisurely 61km/h (38mph). They applied the brakes by shining light into a cloud of sodium atoms trapped in a vacuum and cooled to just above absolute zero (-273 Celsius), the theoretical state of zero heat. At this temperature the atoms coalesce to form a Bose-Einstein condensate, an exotic quantum entity first predicted by Albert Einstein and created in the lab in 1995. A second laser tuned the tiny atomic cloud to slow the pulse of light. In 2001, working with a team from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the same group brought light to a halt, by slowly turning off the second control laser. Switching the laser back on set the light free. The new experiment builds on this work.

Instead of just one cloud of sodium atoms, the new setup used two, a fraction of a millimetre apart. "The two atom clouds were separated and had never seen each other before," said Professor Hau. A pulse of light was shone on the first cloud, impressing a "cast" of the pulse into a clump of spinning sodium atoms, nudged in the direction of the second condensate. This slowly-moving clump was composed entirely of sodium atoms, effectively turning light into matter.

Once the "messenger" group had merged with the second cloud, a second laser was shone through the condensate to revive the original pulse of light. From a standing start, the reconstructed beam sped back up to the normal speed of light. Analysis showed that it possessed exactly the same shape and wavelength of the original beam, although it was slightly weaker. Writing in an accompanying article in Nature, Professor Michael Fleischhauer of the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany described the experiment as "striking and intriguing." He said that science was entering a period of "unprecedented experimental control" of light and matter. "That could bring very real technological benefits," he wrote. Applications could include optical storage devices and quantum computers, far quicker and more powerful than today's PCs.

This is one of the arguments that proves NASA never walked The Astronots on The Moon and returned them safely to The Earth.

Stardard Kodac film only works in Earth gravity, since its frequency range is visible light only, not UV nor infrared. So any deviation of the speed of light on The Moon would render Kodac film useless. Since The Moon is 1/6th the mass of The Earth, the speed of light might increase slightly, into the ultraviolet spectrum, rendering the film useless. The Moon also has MasCons (Mass Concentrations = fluctuations in gravitational field depending on location over the surface), which change the localized gravity of The Moon, making orbit almost impossible at low altitude. This might also affect the speed of light as seen by Kodac film on The Moon.

Plus the effects on film of X-rays, gamma rays, nuke particles, 300-degrees F and minus-250-degrees F. The Moon surface has higher levels of gamma rays than the surface of the Sun, due to cosmic radiation, and the fact that when radiation hits any object, it splatters the atoms in that objects in a chain reaction, thus increasing the total number of split atoms. That's why radiation shielding has to be so thick, due to the secondary chain reactions.

We only survive on Earth due to the 100-mile-thick atmosphere (equivalent to 4-feet-thick lead sheilding), and the Van Allen Belt force field, which catches most of the radiation and pulls it into the North Pole magnet.

Since charged particles for the VAB is sucked out of the South Pole, this neutralizes the "Ozone Layer" over the South Pole, plus there is no sunlight over the South Pole for 3 months of night, resulting in the so-called "Ozone Hole" over the South Pole during the 3-months of winter night. Without sunlight, ozone-3 ions are not manufactured from oxygen-2 molecules.

The Moon does not have a liquid core, which killed it from having its own Van Allen Belt force field, plus no atmospheric shielding worth mentioning, thus all space radiation hits the surface. That's how NASA takes computer image (not film photographs) maps of gamma rays bouncing off The Moon.

Photographer David Percy goes into great detail on this issue of the variable speed of light with his book Dark Moon, and somewhat in his videos at:

An utter lack of understanding of science as proof of theories about the Moon, I've heard everything.

Aren't people who have bugger all comprehension of science grand?

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

PirateNews,

That is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard.

Never mind that visible light is NOT shifted into the UV range due to differing gravity on the moon. Let's PRETEND that it's true! Let's PRETEND that visible light IS, by means of Pirate Magic, shifted into the UV range (and therefore becomes invisible.)

That means that NON VISIBLE LIGHT is ALSO shifted... Into the VISIBLE LIGHT SPECTRUM.

So even in Pirate Magic world, film works on the moon.

Thank you, come again.

So Einstein (the homosexual plagerist) was wrong, and the science experiments that created this thread are wrong? And what did you say your PhD is based on?

Quote:

"Regarding the Apollo mission, I can't say 100% for sure whether these men walked on the Moon. It's possible that NASA cut corners just to be the first to allegedly go to the Moon. NASA could have covered it up. If some of the film was spoiled, it's remotely possible they may have shot some scenes in a studio environment to avoid embarrassment."

"Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion- in the long run these are the only people who count."
—Robert A. Heinlein

Note that Brian Welch, the NASA spokesman in this Fox TV show, asked NASA to answer these detailed questions, and NASA planned a new book on this subject, but then Welch died at age 43, and NASA then welched on its book deal...

Light is nothing more that electrons expelled from an atomic nucleus by a single pulse repulsive force, like a bullet fired from a gun. The electron (or quark or whatever subatomic particle) is called a photon when travelling at the speed of light, which is variable, as proven by math equations and experiments, and the speed can be measured.

The "speed of quark" is faster than photons/electrons' "speed of light", becuase the quarks have less mass, and thus accellerate faster than heavy electrons, reaching a higher speed. It would be very "easy" to travel at many times the "speed of light", by simply firing a continuous stream of electrons, so that the accelleration continues as long as required.

The only limit to speed is the atmosphere in space, as the aerodynamics of the spacecraft reaches max temperature of its hull before it melts, just like supersonic aircraft in Earth atmosphere, which have thermometers to warn the pilot before the aircraft melts. Timewarps, warpspeed and wormholes are BS. It's just plain ordinary "drag racin": horsepower + fuel + weight/mass + air resistance + time = max speed.

Photons are still electrons, which is why light bends around stars, black holes and galaxies, which is measurable, and around planets, which is much harder to measure. If the mass of the launch source is too high, the photon/electron cannot reach escape velocity, such as when a black hole has an event horizon, and no visible light can escape.

This is exactly what happens on the Moon, where gravity changes the speed of light, which is a higher speed than speed of light on Earth. So Kodac needs to make film ISO/ASA adjusted for the faster "Lunar Speed of Light", as well able to tolerate -250-degrees F to +450-degrees F, which also changes the speed of light.

Don't get your science education from Hollywood, or you'll always be a frakkin moron.

PN, no pictures this time? If you're going to hijack my thread with all this bullshit, next time you might have the courtesy to post some funny pictures so that your post isn't a complete waste of space.

And why is it that you didn't respond to rue's thread about databases and vaccinations? Isn't that the stuff you usually enjoy more? I was waiting for something along the lines of "Antisemetic Jew communist fascist librarians have got all of you in their databases already and will take over the world with mandatory flu vaccinations!".

RIP thread.

Electrons don't come from the nucleus. Light doesn't come from the nucleus. Light comes from electrons going from one eneregy level in the surrounding electron cloud to another level.

Quarks never exceed the spped of light. Electrons are not photons. You do not speed up eelctrons by emitting more of them (a 'continuous stream').

The atmosphere of space and spacecraft? Pardon, but what does this have to do with photons?

Again, photons are not electrons.

Gravity on the moon makes the speed of light faster than on earth so that film speed needs to be adjusted? Oh dear, I think not.
