Didn't even have to wait till the end of the year :^)

Matt Strassler's website
For those who haven't come across it yet: Prof. Matt Strassler is providing a running update and commentary on the physics results news coming out of the LHC data analysis, along with some excellent explanatory articles about the particle physics involved, the various processes the detectors have to...

Re: How can a black hole have electric charge?
Hawking radiation can emit particles other than photons, including charged particles. However, this is a still problem, because presumably by the time the hole evaporates, its mass is smaller than the mass of the smallest charged particle; there are no massless charged particles. Nobody understands...

Re: Anything happening ?
Here are some nice summary talks from last week

There seem to be a lot of papers in the pipeline.

Re: Proton mass increase
Mass in relativistic physics can mean one of two things: the rest mass (the mass of the particle when it is not moving) and the relativistic mass (inertial mass). The relativistic mass grows as the speed of the particle increases, and is the mass you would measure for the particle as it zips past. I...

Re: unpronouncable volcano
Seeing as there has just been another eruption in Iceland, I thought I would have a look and see if there has been any research on whether the airspace shutdown was necessary with the benefit of hindsight. Turns out it was: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/04/icelandic-volcano-ash/ http://www....

Re: Vacuum Bubbles
Probably it was in the context of cosmic rays - any electric field out there that manages to accelerate iron ions or protons to cosmic ray speeds will necessarily also accelerate all the other charged particles hanging out in the neighbourhood (gold ions, lead ions, whatever).

Re: Vacuum Bubbles
Not sure what you are looking for, but an electric field will accelerate anything carrying an electric charge. It does not care about which ion or particle, it only cares about its charge. The acceleration is then simply q/m times E, where E is the electric field strength, and q and m are the charge...
