What is a positive entropy production?
You cannot measure entropy, nor entalpy.

correct, you can't measure entropy or entalpy...

but you can measure a change of entropy of system...or change of entalpy of system!

The CALET (CAlorimeter Electron Telescope) built by Japan has been installed on the ISS. It will search for dark matter in space, recording also cosmic rays of energies far above those existing in the LHC and other particles accelerators.

The 3 million dollars Milner Breakthough prize for Fundamental Physics has been assigned to 1377 physicists on the staff of the 5 laboratories which took part in the neutrino escillation esperiments which were already honored with the 2015 Nobel prize for physics (Arthur McDonald of Canada and Takaaki Kajita of Japan).Also honored were 5 biologists, and a mathematician, Ian Algol of the University of California at Berkeley.
But Robert Kerr, director at Arecibo, has resigned after a quarrel with the National Science Foundation, over the funding of Arecibo. From what I read on "Nature" magazine he objected to the intention of NSF to cut funding to Arecibo if it accepts a funding of the Breakthrough Listen initiative sponsored by Yuri Milner for SETI work. The NSF denies such intention.

Arecibo is vital to the Watch Asteroids project of NASA, as the recent Halloween asteroid transit has demonstrated. Also I found strange not to see Arecibo mentioned in the Listen project.Now it seems that Arecibo has received a proposal from Listen and this has caused a quarrel. Let's hope for the best.

Where is the secret?
http://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2015/entries/pineal-gland/
Today, René Descartes (1596–1650) is mainly known because of his contributions to mathematics and philosophy. But he was highly interested in anatomy and physiology as well. He paid so much attention to these subjects that it has been suggested that “if Descartes were alive today, he would be in charge of the CAT and PET scan machines in a major research hospital” (Watson 2002, p. 15). Descartes discussed the pineal gland both in his first book, the Treatise of man (written before 1637, but only published posthumously, first in an imperfect Latin translation in 1662, and then in the original French in 1664), in a number of letters written in 1640–41, and in his last book, The passions of the soul (1649).

People can control/spy on other people through the pineal gland, without the individual even knowing it, as you can read in the article. The Rosicrucians are also aware of this feature of our pineal gland.

From the article.
Through ancient methods and advance practices, one could even control the thoughts and actions of other people in the physical world.

Do you have any examples?

The pineal gland is essentially the portal between the physical and spiritual world for humans.

I think its quite common of shamans all over the world to use drugs to connect the portals.
Don't try this at home!

'ello you :-)

Just wondered who were these "higher ups" that was all :-)

What they might or might not be on, is of course a matter for conjecture.

The hunt for Albert Einstein's missing waves
http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34815668
Advanced Ligo is now up and running, and scientists hope Advanced Virgo will be ready to be switched on by the end of the year.
The collaborating teams are so confident of success that they're forecasting that 1 January 2017 will be the day the breakthrough is made:)

LISA Pathfinder is scheduled to launch on 2nd December 2015.

OK for a dumb question...


Gravitational waves stretch the very fabric of our universe...

Is the propagation of light really completely independent of space-time?

Will not the laser beams themselves be stretched/compressed as a gravity passes through? And in exactly to the same degree as the surrounding support structure?

Hence should we not expect to see a null result?...


Another Michelson-Moreley null result?

Light is affected by gravitational fields. This should make a difference in beams going into different directions of propagation,and this difference signals the passing of a gravitational wave. LISA Pathfinder should confirm this and also give a more precise measurement of the gravitational constant G. It should be launched on December 2.

As I understand it the answer is no, otherwise gravitational lensing would not work.

Yes as I understand.
Hence should we not expect to see a null result?...

No because the light travels a much further distance than the length of the interferometer, to quote
And because the role of these beam splitters is to transmit and reflect part of the light, so it means that the light which goes through-- which is transmitted through this beam splitter-- goes to the mirror, is reflected. Some of it goes through, but another part is reflected, and so some of the light will go back and forth for quite a while, and similarly on the other side.

well, all gravity bends space-time...including a light...


but light also makes a red or blue shift, according to object going away or coming to viewer:


hope that explains your question?!
