Stephen Hawking has changed his mind on his theory of black holes.
ABC News has reported that Hawking now sides with particle physicists
who believe that any matter swallowed by a black hole can’t just
disappear. On the contrary, the matter must eventually generate a
specific output….

04/04/2005 12:24 AMDo black holes really exist? One physicist is challenging
conventional wisdom with his view that what we call black holes are
actually stars made of dark energy, formed by the collapse of some
stars. If true, there goes a staple of science fiction writers.
In addition, there's news on a "cyberman" who can control a robotic
arm with his mind. This week's Science.Ars also covers a rather
alarming report on the impact humankind is having on our home
planet.
The most comprehensive global study on humankind’s
impact on the planet has just been published, and it’s anything but
good news. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, con-ducted over 4
years by 1,300 scientists from 95 countries was released on Wednesday,
and makes grim reading.
Read on for a summary of the report as well as other bits of news
from the world of science.

07/21/2004 07:59 PMAP - After 29 years of thinking about it, Stephen Hawking says he was
wrong about black holes. The renowned Cambridge University physicist
formally presented a paper Wednesday arguing that black holes, the
celestial vortexes formed from collapsed stars, preserve traces of
objects swallowed up and eventually could spit bits out "in a mangled
form."

BREAKTHROUGH ON SOLAR ENERGY?

BREAKTHROUGH ON SOLAR ENERGY?
08/27/2004 02:02 PM

Last year I waded through
Jeremy Rifkin's The Hydrogen
Economy and wrote a blog post
that explained
what's promising about hydrogen as a fuel, and its two major
drawbacks.
I used two charts, reproduced here, to explain how it works and what's
holding it back.
The chart above shows the energy economy we have today. Red boxes are
non-renewable, polluting and environmentally damaging energy sources
and green ones are clean and renewable. Whether we use hydrocarbon
fuels or electricity to light, heat and cool our homes, it's likely
that non-renewable, damaging sources are producing it. Our cars
likewise burn fossil fuels, and although hybrid cars are certainly an
improvement, they still depend on fossil fuels to create ('reform')
the
hydrogen that the fuel cells convert into electricity.
The chart below shows the energy economy in twenty years, if we can
solve the two major dilemmas of the hydrogen economy.

Under this scenario, hydrocarbons are replaced by solar, wind and
other
renewable, non-polluting, non-damaging energy sources. The central
hydro utility is replaced by a local energy co-op, which produces
energy for your community from its own solar collectors, wind turbines
etc. The compressed hydrogen used to power next-generation pure hydrogen
vehicles is produced from some of this electricity, and distributed
through local service stations. The excess electricity produced by
these cars can be used to provide light, heat and cooling to the home
or sold back to the local energy co-op. The cars themselves will have
no engine, no pedals, clutch or gearshift, make no noise and produce
no
harmful exhaust. The entire process will require no burning, no
pollution, and no grid at the mercy of multinationals and sheikhs.
What are the two catches? First, the current cost of electricity
produced from non-renewable sources is very expensive, and the process
is cumbersome and not yet terribly efficient. Even more problematic is
the $100 billion cost of building the infrastructure to generate,
distribute and store the electricity and hydrogen, obsolescing a
comparable amount of existing energy infrastructure, and probably
causing some consternation to and resistance from the owners of that
infrastructure.
Yesterday the University of New South Wales
predicted that by 2010 a new generation of photovoltaic
'harvesters' based on titanium dioxide ceramics will both collect
solar energy and
use that energy to produce compressed hydrogen from water. A 10m
square
array, such as that depicted at right, mounted on just half the
households in a sun-rich country like Australia, could produce the
entire country's energy.
This would allow an even more distributed, decentralized model than
that depicted above: With each household able to produce its own
energy, the local energy co-op might be nothing more than a virtual
market, and the need for local service stations selling or even
producing compressed hydrogen would be obviated. We'd all change from
consuming to producing energy.
The university has even higher hopes for the titanium dioxide
technology behind this advance: They believe it will allow innovations
in other areas such as "water purification, anti-viral and
bacteriacidal coatings on hospital clothing and surfaces,
self-cleaning
glasses, and anti-pollution surfaces on buildings and roads".
Anyone know anything about titanium? I know it's a metal, but is it
plentiful and easy and clean to extract? Is it recyclable? Durable?
Toxic in landfill sites? I sense a bit of grandstanding and
breast-beating by UNSW here. Is there another catch they're not
telling
us about?

Interesting
dissection of US energy/environmental politics and policy along
conservative/liberal lines:
"We are, it seems, always in
some kind of energy crisis, real or imagined. Some worry that our
major sources of energy are about to run out. Some despair that our
energy-hungry civilization is destroying the natural world. Some
believe our quest for energy is driving us into unnecessary wars and
unsavory alliances. And some lament that excessive regulations on
energy development are crippling the American way of life. When it
comes to energy politics, there is no shortage of alarmism,
conservative and liberal alike." The conclusion was sorta
weak tho, I thought :D [via

06/23/2004 03:44 PM As Josh notes, the long awaited MC Hawking CD is now available. And
there's even a hilarious Flash "commercial" for the disc. I haven't
bought a physical CD in quite some time. But the iTunes Music Store
isn't likely to carry it, so I'm ordering my copy right now. Sadly,
their on-line store doesn't accept PayPal, so I have to enter my
fu*%ing payment info yet again. More on-line payment insanity I guess.
