Why Do We Live in a World of Three Dimensions

Three Japanese research institutions to use supercomputers to simulate the origin of the universe. They managed to answer the question why human beings live in a world of three dimensions: length, width, and height.

Indeed, in the big bang theory of cosmology, the universe began from an invisible speck that suddenly expanded. Formation theory is supported by observational evidence, such as residual radiation in the wavelength of the micro and the ratio of hydrogen and helium that fit.

Unfortunately, general relativity theory of Albert Einstein's fib about the condition are unable to explain the universe on a small point. This limitation is overcome through super-string theory. In theory, the fundamental particles making up matter in the universe is assumed as a vibrating string.

Superstring theory suggests that the four fundamental interactions among elementary particles – electromagnetic force, weak interaction, strong interaction, and gravity – are represented as various oscillation modes of very tiny strings. Because gravity is one of the fundamental forces, superstring theory includes an explanation of general relativity. The problem is, superstring theory predicts that there are 10 dimensions – 9 spatial and one temporal. How does this work with our 3 dimensional universe? Some of the vibration pattern can explain the particle responsible for gravity. That way, the birth of the universe can be explained through super-string. However, this theory predicts there is a nine-dimensional space, more than three dimensions are commonly known.

Superstring theory has remained little more than a theory for years. Investigations have been restricted to discussing models and scenarios since performing the actual calculations have been incredibly difficult. As such, superstring theory’s validity and usefulness have remained unclear.

A group of 3 researchers, Jun Nishimura, associate professor at High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), Asato Tsuchiya, associate professor at Shizuoka University and Sang-Woo Kim, project researcher at Osaka University has succeeded in simulating the birth of the universe, using a supercomputer for calculations based on superstring theory. This showed that the universe had 9 spatial dimensions at the beginning, but only 3 of these underwent expansion at some point in time. Computers Hitachi SR16000 in this study is capable of processing data speeds up to 90.3 teraFLOPS.

What were the results? In the beginning the universe had a nine-dimensional space. But, on the next stage, only three-dimensional universe expands and forms.

"These results demonstrate that the three-dimensional universe we live in is growing out of the nine dimensions," said the researchers "from KEK, Jun Nishimura, in a press release on the official web site yesterday.

According to Nishimura, the simulation was able to explain how the universe formed three-dimensional, while strengthening the presence of super-string theory. *** [KEK | ANTON WILLIAM | KORAN TEMPO 3740]

Clean Clothes Without Washed

The good news for people who are lazy to wash clothes. Recently researchers at the University of Shanghai and Hubei in China the latest research in helping people who are lazy in matters of washing clothes.

As has been reported by the BBC, the latest findings from China is published in the latest issue of the journal Applied Materials & Interfaces. Experts from China has created an additional layer (coating) that can make us do not need to wash more clothes, just dried it.

According to researchers Mingce Long and Deyong Wu, who developed the material, exposing their fabric to sunlight causes it to not only clean itself of stains, it also causes it to kill off odor-causing bacteria.

The secret is a naturally occurring form of titanium called titanium dioxide (TiO2). TiO2 is often used as a dye on account of its bright white pigmentation (you'll find it in everything from paint to milk), but it's also used in industry for its photocatalytic properties. A photocatalyst is something that accelerates a chemical reaction in the presence of light. And it just so happens that when TiO2 is exposed to light, it breaks down dirt and wipes out odor-causing microbes.

The thing is, we've known about TiO2's photocatalytic properties since the sixties. We've used it to make self-cleaning tile and glass. We've even used it to make self-cleaning fabrics before; truth be told, the self-cleaning properties of Long and Wu's fabric, in and of itself, aren't terribly revolutionary. So what makes this fabric so special?

Simply put, Long and Wu's fabric is more versatile. For decades, TiO2 was only known to exhibit photocatalytic properties in the presence of ultraviolet light. But recently, it was shown that spiking TiO2 with nitrogen ions gives it photocatalytic capabilities in UV light and visible light. By coating their fabric with nano particles made from this new N-TiO2, the researchers have created a fabric that self-cleans in the presence of a very broad spectrum of light. What's more, they found that further dispersing additional silver iodide nanoparticles in the fabric accelerated the N-TiO2's stain-fighting properties.

The use of these chemicals have been applied to a variety of household items such as windows that can clean themselves without human help, socks without odor, even tiles for the kitchen and bathroom that always looks clean.

However, the invention is not separated from the constraints, among them the system works should be dried in the sun, makes it less practical when used in everyday life, especially when weather conditions are overcast. *** [ID | BBC | IO9.COM | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 22122011]

Christmas Day Turned Into Protest Against New Destiny Pastor and Board Members

Christmas Day Turned Into Protest Against New Destiny Pastor and Board Members

There were some members of the Orlando area church spent part of their Christmas protesting the possible appointment of a new pastor, Paula White. Churchgoers at New Destiny Christian Center are concerned over the possibility of Paula White replacing the church's late pastor, Zachary Tims.

On Christmas day, the group of protesters passed around petitions and asked board members to resign. They claim the church's board has ulterior motives and is not looking out the what's truly best for Zachery Tims' legacy nor for the church members at large.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that a New Destiny member Eugene Roberson, whose leading the petition drive stated:

"We don't need this board. We feel this board has ulterior motives," said Eugene Roberson.

"The board passed out the survey last Sunday, and a week later they have not given us the results of the survey. We did our own survey and no one was in favor of Paula White," Roberson said today.

The petition stated Zachery Tims' ex-wife, Riva Tims, should by all right be the pastor.

Paula White's Without Walls Central Church Doors Shut for Non Payment of Bills

Paula White's Without Walls Central Church Doors Shut for Non Payment of Bills

Paula White's second church location in North Lakeland, Florida named Without Walls Central has not held services since at least August. Lakeland Electric disconnected the church's electric service because they say its owner, White of Without Wall Church in Tampa had too many missed payments.
A city spokesman named Kevin Cook stated Without Walls owed more than $50,000 in unpaid bills. Lakeland Electric even applied the church's deposit of $51,180, he said, which left the owners with a balance of $2,953.79. This small amount of money which probably would pay for a staff dinner date on the church's tab, still has not been paid.
Note: It's important to mention that electric service was shut off the very month Pastor Zachery Tims died in a NY hotel.
Rev. Randy White, a co-founder of Without Walls International and the ex-husband of Paula White, told reporters that in November the Lakeland property was on going to be sold or it was going into foreclosure.
Many people would not have known much about the status of the property if it had not been for the widely public news on Paula White possibly assuming leadership of Zachery Tims' New Destiny Church in Apopka.
Here's a little history on the Lakeland Church location:

Did Bishop Eddie Long Have a Reason To Close New Birth Christian Academy and Fail Students?

In our opinion, we do not think Bishop Eddie Long had a reason to close New Birth Christian Academy, simply because Bishop Eddie Long has always promoted himself to being a man of faith.  Bishop Eddie Long has always taught his members to give, regardless of their financial situation, allegedly.  Therefore, how could he ever make an excuse to suddenly close New Birth Christian Academy for his financial problems?  It is not fair and Bishop Eddie Long, not only owes the former students of New Birth Christian Academy and their parents an apology, he also owes his former church members an apology, some whom were homeless he did not help, according to an anonymous source.  Bishop Eddie Long also owes an apology to specific former church members who gave their tithes and offerings while fighting off creditors and struggling to pay bills.

For many years, since he has told members of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church to find some sort of way to complete their vision, it should be the same notion for himself.  To suddenly close the doors of New Birth Christian Academy is a clear sign, Bishop Eddie Long just expected his church members to have faith, but it was really impossible for him to have that same assurance, all along.  


What is going to happen to these children?  Will they always hear the silent message that this famous pastor always was just focused on fame and fortune, but no real in interest in their future when it all collapsed before the nation of America?

Now we can see why Bishop Eddie Long removed his own daughter from his own church's school, New Birth Christian Academy.   No doubt, he lost faith for her to get a good education from his own school which he founded, although he had received thousands of dollars from the parents whom trusted in their investment.


Bishop Eddie Long absolutely has no excuse to close the doors of New Birth Christian Academy, because of his claim of financial debt.  For so many years, how many of his church members were nagged to give at least three times during his church services: Tithes, Offerings and Love Offering to his family?  Many of them lost their jobs, but they gave anyway.  Many of them were one step from being homeless, but they gave anyway.   Then, there were some whom were homeless who gave when they were indoors, but when they called New Birth Missionary Baptist Church for help after losing their residence, they were allegedly denied and told to make a way to approach the alter to request assistance, if they would receive anything.  However, when you are homeless and you have no bus pass, how can you make a way to approach a church alter, several miles away?

Nicki Minaj Tweets Scripture to Fans on Christmas Day? | AT2W

Nicki Minaj Offers Bible Scripture to Fans on Christmas Day?



This is pretty interesting that someone who models herself as a raunchy and explicit female rapper would try and connect with Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas. Nicki Minaj tweeted to her fans about Jesus Christ on the holiday, reported from Christian Post.
She tweeted the John 3:16 scripture to her eight million followers on Christmas.

"For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son; that whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life," Minaj tweeted. "Merry Christmas & God bless you all!"

Well, we can appreciate anyone who even recognizes Christ on Christmas in a day where people are shunning Him when the celebration is about Him and NOT us.
