Colliding Nuclei at High Energy

[tmcdon4ld]

Have the equations for the release of E been update by the results from RHIC's gold ion collisions? I know the news releases were saying that there was unexpected energy production and parity violations?

Very good. This is a fantastic video!

Objects that are capable of traveling at the speed of light become MUCH heavier and therefore become very dense at the center with no gravity to subdue the atoms they will travel indefinitly untill struck into an object, redirected or absorbed. Light particles will bend entering the earth's atmosphere. but sense light particles are very very light, any heavier light would feel like a baseball bat hitting us at 1000Kmp XD

wow, that's quite amazing, and its why I want to work at BNL and particularly on the RHIC someday

what would happen if you had a object that was very close to being a black hole traveling close to the speed of light relative to some observer.

Wouldn't it compress, pushing it over the density limit & becoming a black hole for one observer, but not a black hole for another observer (for which it isn't as compressed)?
