Scientists create a 'SUPERNOVA' in the lab: Beams 60,000 billion times more powerful than a laser pointer cause mini explosion
•A team from Oxford University have recreated a supernova explosion

•The experiment was performed with the UK's Vulcan laser facility

•They heated a rod to millions of degrees by focusing 3 laser beams on it

•The rod then exploded into a surrounding gas, mimicking the interaction between a star going supernova and the interstellar medium

•Results prove that supernovas do not expand uniformly as once thought
•Could also solve the mystery of how magnetic fields formed in the universe
A team of scientists have recreated a supernova in a laboratory.

Using laser beams 60,000 billion times more powerful than a laser pointer, the Oxford University team made scaled supernova explosions on a table-top.

They say this could be used to study supernova explosions in the laboratory, instead of observing them in space.

you see everything you red in newspaper may not be true especially scientific research
takes lot of time to experiment and prefect the technology
so i will wait when this experiment is repeated everywhere on earth in many countries by different scientists

Pretty cool.

To all the science haters, all life really is is messing with shit you don't understand and trying to figure it out how things work.

We're all born to die.

I'd rather see the world get sucked into a lab-created black hole or blown up in a lab-created supernova trying to figure shit out and looking for answers than sit around on a planet for another thousand years wallowing in our own fucking filth because ignorant bible thumpers believe that they already HAVE all of the answer and that jesus is coming down on a white horse to save them from all of the damage they've done to this once glorious planet.

There is no question that we can think of that we were never meant to have the answer to, no discovery that we're not meant to find.

Knowledge and understanding of all things is the meaning of life.

We are the universe experiencing itself, we are supposed to check shit out and explore.

Not sit in caves or churches and worship mythical deities.

Real supernova cannot be created by laser implosion in a lab. It's source of energy is hyper-dimentional.

Re: Scientists create a 'SUPERNOVA' in the lab: Beams 60,000 billion times more powerful than a laser pointer cause mini explosion
this is obviously some kind of weaponry research
so they front it as supernova recreation

like the fake moonshit hoaxed landings were cover for the used ww2 nazis like ex ss colonel von braun spearheading the icbm nuke missile program

the laser fusion energy program is yet another false cover story
this device is actually used to test components of thermonuclear fusion bombs
like they would give a fuck about nuclear fusion as a free energy source
when nikola tesla tried to convince bankster j p morgan to invest in free energy, he ended up penniless living in a room in some nyc flophouse

 Quoting: DREAM MAKER


....This is the kind of bunk science that makes headlines these days.


bsflag Here is a flag to those researchers.


They in no way they simulated a rebounding gravity induced explosion.

Oxford University scientists have recreated a supernova in a laboratory. Shown here is their experiment; a carbon rod (centre) is being heated by lasers coming in from the left, causing an explosion that expands a shockwave into surrounding argon gas, mimicking a star's expansion into the interstellar medium

Read more: [link to www.dailymail.co.uk]
Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook



They vaporized some rods instantaneously with lasers, that is what they did, not create a model of a super nova....blahblah


So what they are saying is, we hit some carbon with a really intense beam of electromagnetic energy which then turned into a gas and distributed through the experiment chamber in a way that "LOOKS" like what we see in a super nova.... so if anything they jsut went on to support the Electric Universe Theory that says that super novas are electrical phenomenon by using an electrical process to mimic expanding gas from a super nova.....


Not trying to say it isn't cool in its own right but I mean come on, the process they describe is nothing like a supposed super nova event, I mean how ridiculous, we observe supernovas and we can see they are not uniform explosions so what did we learn from this?

By the way you forgot to ask WHICH BIG BANG UNIVERSE, since they are like what...at least 2 and as many as 4 different big bang universes proposed that these jack asses just willy nilly sub in to fit the "data" is this the 1 mass big bang universe or the no mass big bang universe.... god I wish they actualy taught kids something in school so people could see through the wall of crap. bricks

Right?


I mean that's all we can really say isn't it Astro...



They are making statements about and idea they didn't even take time to put into context.

Which super nova model does this support? It's hardly science but I guess what should I expect out of something that's really just designed to impress people who don't really know the process...

The idea of PROOF and qualification of ideas was solidified well over 2000 years ago.

In the 20th Century it DIED.
