This year's Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to US and Australian
cosmologists for discovering the accelerating expansion of the
universe.
The Nobel committee in Stockholm announced on Tuesday that the winners
are Saul Pelmutter of the University of California at Berkeley, Adam
Riess of Johns Hopkins University, and Brian Schmidt of the Australian
National University.
They found that the universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate
by observing light generated in supernova explosions when huge stars
die.
The discovery proves that a mysterious property called dark energy
increases the rate of cosmic expansion and accounts for about 70 percent
of the mass-energy of the universe. This means that stars, galaxies and
other substances are only a small part of the universe.
The committee says the discovery has shaken cosmology from its
foundation, and that dark energy remains the greatest enigma in physics.

Dr. Brian Josephson, winner of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on superconductivity, has recently released a YouTube video of an interview of himself conducted by Judith Driscoll, Professor of Materials Science at Cambridge University.
Dr. Brian Josephson, winner of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on superconductivity, has recently released a YouTube video of an interview of himself conducted by Judith Driscoll, Professor of Materials Science at Cambridge University. The stated purpose of the video is to wake up the media to the E-Cat story, which has not been widely reported on in the mainstream media of the English-speaking world. While some cold fusion advocates hypothesize the existence of a conspiracy of silence to suppress news with such important implications, Josephson suggests the silence is more due to an unwillingness of the traditional media outlets (both general and scientific) to risk appearing credulous by simply reporting on the story.
