Looking For Academic Guidance -- I'm struggling a bit Hello, I am currently hoping to obtain a physics degree, but I am just a little shaken up by my last two tests I took in Gen Phy 2 E&M. I try really hard and would go as far to say that no one in my class works as hard as I do to learn and...

A carbon atom is not the same thing as graphene but a "sheet" of carbon atoms is. 1 layer thick sheet of graphene is one atom thick. Wrap it in a cylinder, you have a carbon nanotube, put it in a ball you have a buckyball, stack one sheet of graphene on one sheet of graphene you have graphite. I...

1 Angstrom is .0000000001 meters, carbon is 1.54 Angstroms

A single layer of graphene would be one atom thick, carbon.

Inflationary energy and dark energy are seen to be different from one another. Could inflationary energy and dark energy be two aspects of the same energy? Only viewed as different from one another because inflationary energy had less "space" to expand than dark energy has today, or is this just...

The energy (or matter) of our universe, which is not presumed to have negative pressure or of any relation to inflationary energy, can all be traced back to a point in time, in our universe, in which it was massless. So it would be moving at the speed of light. Right?

I asked if the energy right after the expansion of space moved at the speed if light only because I assumed that this energy would be massless.

When our universe first started to expand, is it safe to assume that the energy inside of the expanding universe was traveling at the speed of light?

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=supersymmetry-fails-test-forcing-physics-seek-new-idea Sorry, I'm still fairly new at this.

I just recently seen an article that the recent findings at the LHC seem to disprove supersymmetry. I would like to know how supersymmetry and string theory are connected and what the implications would be if the LHC totally disproves supersymmetry all together?

I really just would like to read more about the subject. If anyone can refer me to something it would be greatly appreciated.

In brane cosmology how can there be no such thing as inflation. I was watching a lecture with Neil Turok and he said he made a bet with Hawking that says that the new Planck satellite will give us information that could prove against inflation. So, my question being, instead of inflation in the...
