Black Hole Firewalls Confound Theoretical Physicists

Alice and Bob, beloved characters of various thought experiments in quantum mechanics, are at a crossroads. The adventurous, rather reckless Alice jumps into a very large black hole, leaving a presumably forlorn Bob outside the event horizon — a black hole’s point of no return, beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape. Conventionally, physicists have assumed that if the black hole is large enough, Alice won’t notice anything unusual as she crosses the horizon.

Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim.

TetraBox Light by Ed Chew

The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Cool gadgets for creative offices.

Philips Bio-light : des bactéries bioluminescentes pour éclairer la maison.

La nuit, la bioluminescence des lucioles est un spectacle qui nous laisse tous émerveillés et intrigués. Mais avez-vous déjà envisagé d’éclairer votre habitat avec de la lumière provenant d’un organisme vivant ? Le géant de l’électronique Philips pensent que cela pourrait représenter l’avenir de l’éclairage d’ambiance. Son nom : « Bio-light ». La bioluminescence provient d’une réaction chimique au sein d’un organisme vivant. Au cours de cette réaction, l’énergie chimique est convertie en énergie lumineuse. Bio-light fait partie du programme « Microbial Home » de Philips. Le concept Bio-light repose différentes technologies biologiques pour créer des effets de lumière. Telle une oeuvre d’art, Bio-light se présente sous la forme d’un ensemble de cellules de verres soufflées maintenues par un cadre en acier.

Les cellules de verres sont reliées ensemble par des tubes de silicium qui rejoignent la base de la lampe bioluminescente. MicroCulture. Jardins et Graines. Innovation.
