VLT decodes the innermost surroundings of a star in the maturing Using ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer, astronomers have probed the inner parts of the disc of material surrounding a young stellar object, witnessing how it gains its mass before becoming an adult. The astronomers had a cl...
Title: H-alpha observations of zeta Tauri Authors: E. Pollmann, Th. Rivinius We report H-alpha observations of zeta Tauri, taken between late 2000 and early 2006. Next to extending existing long-term monitoring of the disk state of this star we report an intermediate timescale of about 69 days to...
I thought I would put this under weird stuff as it requires new thinking. Do not think that I am not serious though, thanks. Now I discovered that I could rewrite complex mathematics and saw that QM is limited by mankind's present mathematics be it calculus or other. The advantage this gives me is that w...

Title: Mirror World with Broken Mirror Parity, E(6) Unification and Cosmology Authors: C.R. Das, L.V. Laperashvili (Version v2) In the present paper we have developed a concept of parallel ordinary (O) and mirror (M) worlds. We have shown that in the case of a broken mirror parity (MP), the evoluti...
