PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE
The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News
Number 761  January 11, 2006 by Phillip F. Schewe, Ben Stein

BEST DIRECT TEST OF E=mc^2.  Albert Einstein's formulation of how
matter and energy are equivalent is an important enunciation of the
principle of conserved energy.  As far as we know, it is at work at
the moment an atom bomb explodes, when the fissioning of uranium is
exploited for making commercial electricity, or when an electron and
positron annihilate inside a PET scanner.  A new
experiment---conducted by scientists from MIT, Universite Laval,
Florida State, Oxford, NIST, and Institut Laue-Langevin---keeps
careful account of both matter mass and electromagnetic energy for a
process in which ions of sulphur and silicon absorb neutrons,
transforming them into new isotopes as they emit gamma rays.  In
this transaction Einstein's equation is shown experimentally to be
true at a level of 0.4%, a factor of 55 better than the previous
best test.  (Rainville et al., Nature, 22/29 December 2005.)

EXTRASOLAR PLANETS IN BINARY STAR SYSTEMS were, at first, unexpected
since it was thought that the presence of a second or even third
star would disrupt the formation of a planet in the first place.
But then why have 30 such exoplanets been found in double and triple
star groupings?  Moreover, some of the planets detected reside in
systems where the companion stars are not far away but actually
rather close in---tens of astronomical units (one AU equals the
Earth-Sun distance) or less.  At this week's meeting of the American
Astronomical Society (AAS) in Washington, DC, Alan Boss argued that
the presence of a second star, far from disrupting the formation of
planets around the first star from diffuse matter, can actually
enhance the enterprise.  Boss, an astronomer at the Carnegie
Institution, said that the cross-gravitational forces operating in a
multiple-star system can in some cases, through the process of shock
heating, trigger a faster development of dense spiral arms in which
gas and dust clumping can lead to planets.  Since an estimated two
thirds of all stars in the Milky Way reside in complex groupings,
Boss asserted that a theory allowing for matter agglomeration in
such places would greatly increase the number of suitable targets
for exoplanet hunters.  (Images at
http://www.dtm.ciw.edu/boss/ftp/binary/ )

EXTENDED RED EMISSION (or ERE), a mysterious astronomical effect in
which regions of diffuse red light are observed in planetary nebulae
and in the galactic halo, comes from nanodiamonds in space.  So say
Huan-Cheng Chang and his colleagues at the Academia Sinica in
Taiwan.  At the AAS meeting, they reported the results of a recent
experiment.  As they suspected that ERE was analogous to the
operation of a fluorescent lamp---where ultraviolet light is
converted into visible light when it strikes a coating inside the
lamp tube.  In the experiment, nanometer-sized diamonds, first
filled with defects by hitting the diamonds with a powerful proton
beam, then heated to a temperature of 800 C to create conditions
roughly matching those of space. When yellow and blue light was
shone on the nanodiamonds, ERE-type luminescence resulted.  The
diamonds presumably would have been made in the vicinity of
carbon-rich stellar zones.  One example of such emission, in the
proto-planetary nebula HD 44179, also called "The Red Rectangle,"can
be seen at http://www.iras.ucalgary.ca/~kwok/aas207/ .  Further
discussion of the Red Rectangle was provided by Boston University
astronomer Kenneth Brecher (see
http://lite.bu.edu/vision/applets/Lightness/Pyramid/Pyramid.html )

SHOCK-PRODUCED COHERENT LIGHT.   Physicists at MIT and Livermore
National Lab have discovered a new source of coherent radiation
distinct from traditional lasers and free-electron lasers; they
propose to build a device in which coherent photons are produced by
sending shock waves through a crystal.  The result would be coherent
light resembling the radiation issuing from a laser; but the
mechanism of light production would not be stimulated emission, as
it is in a laser, but rather the concerted motion of row after row
of atoms in the target crystal.  The passing shock front, set in
motion by a projectile or laser blast, successively excites a huge
density wave in the crystal; the atoms, returning to their original
places in the matrix, emit light coherently, mostly in the THz
wavelength band.  Although sources of coherent light in this part of
the electromagnetic spectrum have developed in recent years, it is
still a difficult task. The next step will be to carry out an
experimental test of the shock-wave light production.  This work
will be performed at two national labs---Livermore and Los Alamos.

The axis of the plague, but neither inertia nor determination - instead,
randomness, opening/tearing in any direction...


and from Wolfgang Kayser a nod to the Grotesque, which these surely are:

In spite of all the helplessness and horror inspired by the dark forces which
lurk in and behind our world and have
power to estrange it, the truly artistic portrayal effects a secret
liberation. The darkness has been sighted, the
ominous powers discovered, the incomprehensible forces challenged. And thus
we arrive at a final interpretation of the
grotesque: AN ATTEMPT TO INVOKE AND SUBDUE THE DEMONIC ASPECTS OF THE WORLD.


Hmmm... again, I think the opposite: not the demonic, but the everyday
aspects of the world (Lefebvre). Not secret liberation but liberation. Not
ominous powers bu everyday power. Not incomprehensible forces, but
comprehensible forces. These are everyday nightmares, not mysterious...

Thanks, I've been working fairly small for the Web, like your image as
well.

It's not Belmer that's inspiring me, it's the violence of war and the
annihilation of space-time by desire, momentarily, nothing holds -

Desengaño

2006-01-11 Thread phanero



 
 

Desengaño 


In order to ascertain just how wide-ranging thisnew 
form of play was, the semantic realm of theword Desengaño should be 
examined. The word isvitually untranslatable today, due to its 
complexity.It is the opposite of the word engaño (error, illusion,charm, 
deception, hoax, trickery, pretence) andcovers a vast territory that ranges 
from 'discovery'(as in 'discover a deception'), 'disillusion' 
or'disenchantment' to nuances such as 'disappointment'and 'sadness'. The 
eighteenth-century Spanish dictionarygave the word three principle meanings, 
all related:>Desengaño. s.m.Luz de verdad, conocimiento del error 
con que se sale delengaño. Lat. Erroris 
cognitio.[The light of truth, the exposing of the error that helps 
dispelthe charm.]Desengaño. Se llama tambien el objeto que exercita 
aldesengaño. Lat. Quod erroris cognitionem 
excitat.[It also means by which we discover a 
deception.]Desengaño. Vale assimismo claridad que se dice a 
otro,echandole la falta en la cara. Lat. Proprum libere dicterum.[Can also be used 
to mean a truth we have told another bythrowing an error in his 
face]It was as part of this relative polysemantism that 
eighteenth-centurymoral literature used the word. An eloquent testimony to 
this isFather Feyjoo's collected essays intitled 'Universal critical 
theatreor diverse discourses of all kinds to be used for the exposing 
ofcommon errors' (Teatro critico universal o discursos varios 
detodo genero de materias para el desengaño communes errores, 
1725-8).Goya's etchings also work in the same way. Thus in the 
inscriptionon the frontispiece to the 'Dreams' the author specifies that 
theiraim is to 'banish (desterrar) harmful, vulgar beliefs and to 
perpetuatein this work of caprices the solid testimony of truth'. The 
advertisementin the Diario de 
Madrid, on the other hand, speaks of 'the censure of humanerror and 
vices' (censura de los errores y vicios 
humanos). In the self-portaitfrontispiece to the final series Goya 
includes additional elements from his ownauthorial mise en scène. He places himself, as we have 
seen, in a dualposition: on the one hand, he is a desengañado ( a disappointed, 
disenchantedperson), 'sad' and 'contemptuous', and, on the other, a desengañador (he whodisenchants, who 
discovers a deception).There is a degree of shrewdness and, at the same 
time, a degree of violencein the very act of disenchantment. The literary 
figure of the Desengañado/Desengañador, as invented by 
someone like Quevedo or Gracián, is a dualand duplicitous creation. The 
Desengañado/Desengañador - the 
disenchantedperson who disenchants - knows in this instance that all is lies 
and illusions.Even the word 'world' (mundus), which originally meant 'clean', is a 
lie. Theworld, explains Gracián, is dirty and foul: 'mundus imundus'. Everything isback to 
front, and the Desengañado/Desengañador 
is the one who knows itand who reveals it. He always has one eye open (el cyclopes), adds Quevedo,and is 
therefore capable of seeing the inside of things (mirar por dentro),seeing through 
appearances, recognizing deceptions, scanning the world inreverse (mirar al rebes). The Desengañado/Desengañador is the one whocan 
see, and who reveals that the world is representation, spectacle,appearance 
and deception. Goya gets into the skin of this dual person, ashis 
self-portrait and the structure of the Caprichos demonstrate. The productof an 
examination (free of illusions) of the world, these images, in order to 
fulfiltheir destiny, had in their turn to return to the world, not to 
'enchant' it butto 'disenchant' it. No.1, Discovering, Disillusion, 
Disenchantment andSadness Street was probably the most appropriate place for 
this to happen.From Goya, The Last Carnivalby Victor I. Stoichita andAnna 
Maria Coderch
 
 


Re: two films for large projection

2006-01-11 Thread phanero

oh yes of course, but the vehicle is a virtual automaton, implying (to me only 
perhaps)
the horrific yet wondrous automatism of those vectors.. i think Bellmer's 
libidinous poupee
reaches into the same manifold, the enigmatic drives of representation and 
desire

and these images do seem cathartic (not personally so, per se) to me
which in some strange dreamworld of my own design
snuggles up to some possibly rogue sense of apotropaicism
though what use that sense is, is quite debatable..

the compactifaction (as a sense of effigy) of all the terrors
"went before us"
as an omen, a doll, twisting within the silent schreamata

the filmic copulation an objectification of the copula, the 'is' of mistaken 
language,
that 'babel-as-desiring-machine' which 'draws' forth the 'action' of the 
'plague'
as a 'praxis' within the inertia of determination..

and from Wolfgang Kayser a nod to the Grotesque, which these surely are:

In spite of all the helplessness and horror inspired by the dark forces which 
lurk in and behind our world and have
power to estrange it, the truly artistic portrayal effects a secret liberation. 
The darkness has been sighted, the
ominous powers discovered, the incomprehensible forces challenged. And thus we 
arrive at a final interpretation of the
grotesque: AN ATTEMPT TO INVOKE AND SUBDUE THE DEMONIC ASPECTS OF THE WORLD.
