You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've a two talented kids; the younger said, 'Stop with the lectures.' Then asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

The idea of atoms as small spheres does not work any longer. In fact, atoms can now only be described quantum mechanically by waves. Like water waves they can overlap each other. In the case of a Bose-Einstein condensate, the wave functions of up to one million atoms are so synchronised that they pile up to form a giant wave. These formations can grow to one millimeter in size and they can then be photographed.

German scientists produce first Bose-Einstein condensate with calcium atoms
BEC, Physics, Science, History
This is the first use of Calcium as a BEC. Most of the others were Sodium. To investigate gravity and its fields is another great mission of emperical science applied to telescopes and space. Finding small anomalies in gravitational fields and force as well can lead to some interesting applications, theories and truths.
