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.

BEC: A Strange New State of Matter
Nerd Stuff, Science
The science writer, from MIT, gives a compelling argument for believing in mysterious eventspace. My one comment is Stephanie’s misleading statement in the 3rd paragraph that it’s the coldest … more than a million times colder than the space between stars.
The fact is according to NASA, deep space is about 2.7 degrees K warmer than absolute zero, not a million times warmer. You can google it yourself, but the 2.7 degrees represents the background radiation. So unless there is some active cooling sites (as in black hole event horizons) there’s not a case for BEC’s bothering anyone with Coherent Matter Waves being solid like holograms, which are Coherent Light Wave Interference which are ghostly 3 dimensional light events (really 4 if they are moving).
Keep in mind, that we can only deal with the microscopic amounts of BEC matter. Not so with big galaxy central cores of millions of sun masses. One would think that they are hot, but because they are so active, they produced a localized absence of energy and therefore temperature.
From a Stanford paper from June, 2000 — http://news-service.stanford.edu/pr/00/blackholes67.html —
‘One curious feature about Hawking radiation is that the temperature is inversely proportional to the mass of the black hole.’
NASA seems to think that there are black holes that are a billion times the mass of our sun, and so one billionth as cold. That puts them in the colder than our earthly experiements to date. Read on young scientist: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/971111e.html
What is curious is that there can also be a place very, very hot… the friction of all that stuff being sucked up.

I’ll try to get into the fact that several including Clive Backster in a famous experiment with brine shrimp put in boiling hot water, an GSR (galvanic skin response) machine measured a distinct electromagnetic pulse coming from the dying brine shrimp. The GSR was connected to a leaf of a plant.
So that last moment, where lives pass before you is actually the charging up of that last pulse… when that hits the black hole event space, what’s to stop it from reaching absolute zero, becoming a wave building solid and projecting itself around in the black hole mass. Perhaps if like minds interact, then there will be actions taken … oh maybe a muse, a Greek Daemon, or a Roman Genius will project away some wisdom, something of vitality that is concluded by the mass of those entering another stage of life.
If this all sounds too fantastic, imagine telling the fetus (if not threatened with abortion) what it will be like to breath air, to walk, to swim (been there), or to fly.
