Light Field Lab launches SolidLight holographic imagery systems

Posted by in categories: alien life, futurism

Light Field Lab has launched its SolidLight Holographic and Volumetric display technologies that will power some amazing imagery of the future.

These next-generation display technologies will be used by major companies to build a wide variety of holographic images and animations. Connecting a bunch of panels together, the system can modulate 10 billion pixels per square meter.

Last year, Light Field Lab raised $50 million, adding to its war chest of $85 million raised since its inception. And now I can see where that money is going. The San Jose, California-based company gave me a theatrical tour of an animated demo of an alien that it builds in collaboration with the SETI Institute, the organization searching for extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy.

Groundbreaking Discoveries About the Higgs Boson Announced

Posted by in categories: futurism, particle physics

The Higgs boson, often dubbed the “God particle,” has been a focal point of physics since its groundbreaking discovery in 2012. This elusive particle plays a crucial role in our understanding of how elementary particles acquire mass, a concept that has puzzled scientists for decades. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Seven years after its discovery, new findings from researchers at the Max Planck Institute are taking our knowledge of the Higgs boson to an entirely new level. These advancements promise to unravel deeper mysteries of the universe and open doors to future scientific exploration.

To fully appreciate the recent developments in Higgs boson research, it’s important to revisit the concept of this fundamental particle. In the Standard Model of particle physics, the Higgs boson is the particle responsible for giving mass to other particles. But how exactly does this happen? The answer lies in the Higgs field—a sort of invisible “medium” that permeates the universe, even in a vacuum.

Imagine you’re trying to walk through a swimming pool. When the water is still, you move easily, but if the pool were filled with foam, your movements would slow down considerably. The Higgs field operates similarly, with particles gaining mass as they interact with it, much like how a swimmer would find it harder to move through foam. The more a particle interacts with this field, the more mass it acquires, which allows particles to form the building blocks of matter as we know it.
