- A Simple Calculation That Shows Black Hole Firewalls Exist and How Hot They Are.
-
I nformation is not destroyed but it is even more scrambled up than anyone thought by black holes. I have used the framework of relativization, to compute the temperature of the proposed firewalls. It would be about 1.410 septillion Kelvin. Relativizat ...

- What Next INFN: A Research Institute Interrogates Itself On Its Future
-
Yesterday and today I have been spending time in Rome together with 600 Italian colleagues, at a symposium named "What Next". The idea is to discuss what should be the strategy of the institute to participate and support basic research in fundame ...

- Guest Post: Daniel Hoak, Gravitational Waves: How We Did It
-
I (T.D.) am very happy to host here today a guest post by Daniel Hoak, a member of the LIGO collaboration, who participated in the discovery of gravitational waves that made headlines one week ago in the world media. Daniel earned his PhD in 2015 with the ...

- Absolute Neutrino Masses in Geometric Phenomenology of Standard Model Hierarchies
-
In this research we derived absolute neutrino masses by geometric interpretation of the Standard Model hierarchies. Numerous confirmations may indicate that, besides the problem of Higgs sector many external parameters, the SM is a complete low energy part ...

- Guess The B Fraction!
-
One of the things I like the most when I do data analysis is to use "pure thought" to predict in advance the features of a probability density function of some observable quantity from the physical process I am studying. By doing that, one can t ...

- LIGO And The Denver Broncos: A Tale Of Two Comebacks
-
There is nothing so compelling as a story about falling down, recovering your footing, and then charging over the goal line completely redeemed … unless it is two such stories. The Denver Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 victory and the laser interferometer gravita ...

- One Digamma Resonance Paper Worth Reading
-
How many phenomenological papers discussing the 750 GeV diphoton resonance have you read since December 15th 2015? I believe that having read none of them, or ten, does not make a big difference- you missed most of them anyways. In fact, I think the count ...

- Dirac or Majorana Neutrino Mass Type?
-
Majorana or Dirac Neutrino Masses? Small finite Majorana masses assume very heavy mass scale symmetry, considered in mainstream theories, but the predicted values of light neutrino masses from the necessary see-saw mechanism are uncertain. ...

- Physics And Music In Venice
-
On March 3rd and 4th the AMVA4NewPhysics network met in Venice, in the beautiful venue of Ca' Sagredo. Ca' Sagredo is a 500-year-old palace on the Canal Grande, home of the Sagredo family and in the 600s of Giambattista Sagredo, who hosted many t ...
