    Graduate Is LHC pushing the limits of naturally observable phenomena in the Universe?

    Wow, thanks. I wouldn't have thought that these kind of things happen right here on our planet.

    Graduate Is LHC pushing the limits of naturally observable phenomena in the Universe?

    Are collisions with the energy levels of LHC happening in our modern day Universe? Like at the core of stars or at the event horizon of black holes where a lot of high energy stuff is going on? Sorry for the naive question, I'm extremely interested in physics but I'm just not proficient...

    Graduate Can We Detect Extraterrestrial Radio Signals Amid Solar Interference?

    I mean, several light years from here, is it possible to distinguish between the signals coming from Earth and the massive amount of electromagnetic radiation emitted by our Sun? From a great distance, every solar system must appear dot-like. Is it possible that civilizations are actually...

    Graduate Relativistic mass increase due to high temperatures inside stars?

    Wikipedia says that the core temperature of our Sun is 15.7×10^6 Kelvins. I don't know what that means in terms of protons' velocities inside the core, but I bet they move pretty fast. Could they move that fast that they have a noticeable increase in mass due to their relativistic speed...
