gamma rays.noun
very high frequency electromagnetic-radiation,
emitted from stars, as a result of
radioactive
decay. They are like X-rays,
but shorter in length. Only lead or collision with an atom
can stop them.
Gamma rays come from deep space and emanate
from
explosions
that blast their energy out in all directions. What causes this is
a mystery. "We don't know how this is happening" says Tsvi Piri of Hebrew
University in Jerusalem.
Gamma rays carry positive energy produced by annihilation
when an electron
and its
antiparticle a positron
collide. Like neutrinos,
they go through us all the time.
"GRBs (Gamma ray bursts) are brief intense discharges
of radiation believed to be the most energetic
phenomenon
in the Universe...a spinning black
hole forms, which both destroys the star (leading to a supernova)
and produces jets of particles
traveling near the
speed of light, which give rise to a gamma ray burst (GRB)." ... Astronomy,
January, 2000, pages 32.
Gamma rays
have no set pattern of rise and fall, and disappear quickly from view,
most of them occurring for only seconds, not allowing enough time for telescopes
to track what is happening. However, some last more than a minute, releasing
vast amounts of energy, estimated to be about 1038ergs
in their few seconds sometimes about a minute) of life. The Sun,
for comparison, emits about the same amount of energy, but over 7 hours.
Such massive explosions (beyond the ability to see with visible light –
without special detection equipment, we would not even know that they are
there) regularly occurring "out there" has shocked many scientific disciplines.
We know that they are not generated by the Sun
or any planets.
No one is sure exactly where they arise, but it's somewhere beyond a thousand
light years away, where
matter seems to act so differently.
genome.noun;
genomic.adjective
The total genetic-(heredity-factors)
compliment (things which agree with each other) of a cell
or organism.
Genomic DNA
is the total of an individual's DNA present in one cell, or to put it another
way – every cell of every living thing inherently
contains a formula for the particular variety of life that it is. That
is how the rose 'knows' it's a rose and the daisy, a daisy.
This formula is the genome, being a complete haploid
(single set of chromosomes)
with its associated genes, or, the complete genetic makeup, and written
(encoded) in
DNA's language.
The total human genome is about 3 billion base
pairs (6 billion in double stranded DNA). This is being
categorized
along with reams of other related
information to stab at understanding
how it was all put together, so we can, in utter
ignorance, manipulate natural life processes, in a futile
race (why futile?) to increase
knowledge of how to better patch up the body.
All this necessitated due to widespread (and increasing)
ignorance of optimizing the body
through providing proper
nutrition.
An escalating amount of money towards 'effect'
research (example, the cancer 'virus',
the
AIDS 'virus', etc.) responds to the monstrous need created by this
inferior (it often leads to a dead end – 1)
2),
expensive and complicated misknowledge of health.
This in turn results infoodstuffs most people today
in ignorance ingest,
continuing a detrimental contribution
towards their health declination,
fueled by their desire for taste over nutrition.
The further we become distanced from
natural
methods of health maintenance, and away from the causes of various
illnesses, the greater the presssure to solve compounding problems caused
by the inferior alternate.
gobbledygook.noun
wordy and generally unintelligible jargon
imitative of the gobbling of a turkey
gradualism
refers to the theory
that macro evolution proceeds
through the slow and basically constant accumulation of many small changes
in order to effect larger changes – but....
This theory predicts that the
fossil record would provide abundant evidence of intermediary life
forms as one species
is progressively transformed into another.
GeV
'giga (109)
electron-volt'.
An unexcited electron is said to be at rest at 0.5
MeV.
One GeV is the energy a proton
would acquire while being accelerated through a voltage drop of one billion
volts. Particle accelerators
reach energies
of 103 GeV.
gall.noun
something bitter or distasteful; bitter feeling;
rancor;
impudence;
audacity;
effrontery;
a sore on the skin caused by rubbing or chafing; irritation, annoyance,
vexation
synonym-temerity
transitive verb-to
irritate, annoy, vex; a spot worn bare; to make the skin sore by rubbing
or chafing; to become sore from rubbing or chafing
Gypsy.noun,.plural-Gypsies.
a member of a nomadic
people that arrived in Europe in migrations from northern India around
the 14th century, now also living in North America and Australia; many
Gypsy groups have preserved elements of their traditional culture, including
an itinerant existence, tribal
organization, and the Romany language; one inclined to a nomadic, unconventional
way of life
grotesque.adjective
characterized by distortions
or striking incongruities in
appearance, shape, manner, etc.; bizzare
grotesquerie or grotesquery.nouns
the quality or state of being grotesque
group theory.noun
the mathematical study of symmetry,
where group is a set of mathematical objects (something you may be analyzing
mathematically, like perhaps the fractal
patterns shown in a group of fronds
in a thicket of ferns) linked by math rules (algorithms)
