It is hard to know what is going on over 3000 km beneath our feet, but until recently scientists were fairly confident that they understood the way the iron atoms in the Earth's core packed together. However, new research has overturned conventional thinking and revealed that the structure of the core is not as straightforward as was once thought. Pressures and temperatures at the Earth's core are stupendous - more than 3.5 Mbar and 7000?K - and currently it is impossible to recreate these conditions in the laboratory. Our information about the core comes from observing the way that seismic waves travel through the core, extrapolating from experimental studies and studying iron rich meteorites. As a result we know that the core is mostly iron, but that it also must contain some light impurities such as oxygen, silicon, sulphur, hydrogen and magnesium (because the density of the core is too low to be pure iron). The most significant impurity is thought to be nickel, which makes up between 5 and 15% of the composition. Most studies on the Earth's core have approximated the composition to be pure iron. "It was assumed that the alloy elements were not very important for the structural and elastic properties of the core," says Igor Abrikosov, a theoretical physicist at Linkoping University in Sweden. Experimental and theoretical studies on pure iron led to a 'standard model' for the core, which said that the iron atoms were packed in a 'hexagonal close packed' formation. This resembles a honeycomb structure in which the atoms are in densely packed layers of hexagons, with every other layer lying directly above its partner two layers below. Other packing structures were ruled out because they were assumed to be less energetically efficient. "At moderate pressures other structures have some magnetism and they turn out to have lower stability," explains Abrikosov. Carrying out experiments at anything close to the pressures and temperatures experienced at the core is pretty much impossible. "To achieve high pressures the sample has to be made very small and then it is difficult to see the diffraction patterns from the structures," explains Leonid Dubrovinsky, a geo-scientist at the University of Bayreuth in Germany. What is more, at high temperatures the iron tends to diffuse and react with the carbon in the diamond anvil cell - a device that pinches samples between two diamond points and creates extreme pressures. An inability to recreate core conditions hampered our understanding of the core, but in recent years powerful computer models have stepped in the breach. Expertise has been developed in 'Ab intio' (first principles) calculations and we are able to do higher quality extrapolations to understand core conditions," says Abrikosov. In addition experiments have improved greatly, with very high pressures and temperatures reached recently in new diamond anvil cells. Combined with the use of synchrotron radiation scientists have been able to observe structures at conditions that are ever closer to conditions at the Earth's outer core. Using this combination of theory, experiments and powerful simulations Abrikosov, Dubrovinsky and their colleagues have revisited the core. This time they have also included alloy elements such as Nickel and Magnesium in their calculations and, to their surprise, they found that it has a significant effect. "At high pressures the magnetism is squeezed out of the other structures and they all have similar stability," says Abrikosov, who presented his findings at the 1st EuroMinScI Conference near Nice, France in March this year. The new research has revealed that 'face centred cubic' and 'body centred cubic' structures can not be ruled out and that all of these structures are energetically possible. "The standard model has been killed," says Abrikosov. EuroMinScI is the European Collaborative Research (EUROCORES) Programme on "European Mineral Science Initiative" developed by the European Science Foundation (ESF). Face centred cubic structures have an atom in the centre of every face, as well as at each of the corners, while body centred cubic has one atom in the centre of the cube. Compared to the hexagonal close packed the face centred cubic structure alternates every third layer, with the atoms making a spiral pattern up through the layers.Elements like nickel, silicon, oxygen and magnesium are also likely to play a key part in way atoms pack in the core. Recent experiments have shown that at very high pressures magnesium atoms are compressed to such an extent that they can fit easily into iron structures. In addition the element nickel is more comfortable than iron in a 'face centred cubic' structure. So why does this matter and what kind of difference could these structures make in the core" "It has implications for the anisotropy of the core," says Dubrovinsky. Studies of seismic waves have revealed that the waves travel faster in a north-south direction and slower in an east-west direction through the core - a phenomenon that scientists call anisotropic. The way the atoms pack in the core is vital for understanding this anisotropy. What is more, the Earth's core produces our magnetic field. Without it the Earth would be bombarded with dangerous cosmic rays and life would struggle to survive. As well as relying on Earth's magnetic field to protect us, we now use it to navigate and keep satellites in place. Life on Earth depends upon the magnetic field, but until we understand the core we can't fully understand how this field is created, or how it is likely to change. For scientists studying the Earth's core it is time to go back to the drawing board and rethink what lies underneath our feet. However, a new generation of powerful computer simulations, along with experiments that we could previously only dream about, mean that optimism is high and scientists are confident that the core will reveal its secrets soon.

Will there be another earthquake around the time of the lunar eclipse?
I wasnot going to post this as a new entry but on carefuul consideration decided to go ahead with it. This may be looked at as pure 'conjecture'but is based on facts and trends, but there is no way to prove a coming occurrence. This assumption is based on the science-of-cycles and on ancient texts passed down by our ancestors. I believe we will witness a second mega-quake within the next 14 days. This is based on the documented records of previous large quakes which have occurred 14 days prior to, and/or 14 days after a Full Lunar Eclipse. The next Lunar Eclipse will occur on August 28th 2007. The science of seismic activity is a difficult one. We have made great advances. In fact, just two days ago, a new "provable" study came out indicating the Sun puts off vibrating waves that cause seismic events here on Earth. This has never been acknowledged by the scientific community until now.
The science of knowing exactly where along the ring-of-fire the earthquake will occur, is still unknown. There has been progress on precursors, thereby giving at least some warning, but not much. There is an electrical magnetic charge that occurs just prior to an event. It can be so pronounced, it looks like bright light in the sky, or as an 'arch' somewhat like an aurora. Other precursors, are unusual animal behavior and the ebb of ocean waves and currents is a sure sign to move to higher ground immediately.Quakes that have been recorded prior to and after lunar eclipses are recorded in a prior post.
The science behind the connection between lunar events and earthquakes indicates it is the act of "fluid displacement" which is the culprit. Not just seawater of the oceans, but also fresh waters of large lakes, magma, and even oil. During the phases of a Full Lunar Eclipse, gravity is increased and water (fluid) rises. This in turn puts increased pressure on tectonic plates. The reverse is also a culprit. When the event phases of a 'new moon' occur, fluids retract. It is the "displacement"--- whether it is the expanding or the contracting, which causes the plates to shift.

Wild weather a taste of things to come
A MONSOON dropped 35 centimetres of rain in one day across many parts of South Asia this month. Germany had its wettest May on record, and April was the driest there in a century. Temperatures reached 45 degrees in Bulgaria last month and 32 degrees in Moscow in late May, shattering long-time records. The year still has almost five months to go, but it has already experienced a range of weather extremes that the UN's World Meteorological Organisation says is well outside the historical norm and is a precursor to much greater weather variability as global warming transforms the planet. The warming trend confirmed in February by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - based on the finding that 11 of the past 12 years had higher average ground temperatures than any others since formal temperature recording began - appears to have continued with a vengeance into 2007. The meteorological organisation reported that January and April were the warmest worldwide ever recorded. "Climate change projections indicate it to be very likely that hot extremes, heatwaves and heavy precipitation events will continue to become more frequent," the organisation said. The heavy rains in South Asia have resulted in more than 500 deaths and displaced 10 million people, while 13.5 million Chinese have been affected by floods, the report said. In England and Wales, the period from May to July was the wettest since record-keeping began in 1766, resulting in floods that killed nine and caused more than $US6billion ($7billion) in damage. The World Meteorological Organisation, which is co-sponsoring a series of meetings and reports on global climate change, is putting together an early-warning system for climate extremes and establishing long-term monitoring systems, and plans to help countries most vulnerable to climate change. "The average Northern Hemisphere temperatures during the second half of the 20th century were very likely the highest during any 50-year period in the last 500 years, and likely the highest in the past 1300 years," the report said. Global warming is expected to result in more extreme weather because of changes in atmospheric wind patterns and the ability of warmer air to hold more moisture, said Martin Manning, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's working group on the physical science of climate change. He said that one year of heavier than normal rains and warmer than usual temperatures said nothing definitive about climate change, but they were consistent with the panel's long-term predictions."What we have projected is an increase in extreme events as the global temperatures rise," Dr Manning said. "Floods, droughts and heatwaves are certainly consistent with that."
The World Meteorological Organisation reported the extreme weather occurred in many parts of the world. In May, a series of large waves (estimated at up to 3.6 metres) swamped almost 70 islands in 16 atolls in the Maldive Islands off south India, causing serious flooding and extensive damage. Halfway around the globe, Uruguay was hit during the same month by the worst flooding since 1959 - floods that affected more than 110,000 people and severely damaged crops and buildings. Two months later, an unusual winter brought high winds, blizzards and rare snowfall to parts of South America.Meanwhile, two extreme heatwaves affected south-eastern Europe in June and July. Dozens of people died, and firefighters worked nonstop battling blazes that destroyed thousands of hectares. On July 23, temperatures hit the record 45 degrees in Bulgaria. The Washington Post

Super funds hit by falls
THE unprecedented four-year dream run of the Australian sharemarket appears to be over, with another big sell-off yesterday pushing losses over the past month to $150 billion, or more than 10 per cent. Spooked by growing financial turmoil in the United States, investors savaged the shares of some of Australia's best-known companies, pushing the market to its lowest point since March. Markets across Asia and Europe have also been battered, prompting fears of further declines and a growing conviction among analysts that the long shares boom could be over. If sustained, the market rout will deliver an unfamiliar dose of red ink for millions of Australians with money in superannuation funds, which are heavily exposed to local and overseas shares. After successive years of spectacular gains, super funds are now looking at the real prospect of negative returns. Market analysts are blaming the drop on investors taking fright at the upheaval in the US, where high-risk lending practices and falling home prices have combined to create a growing sense of crisis. Macquarie Bank's head of equity strategy, Neale Goldston-Morris, predicted the Australian sharemarket would fall further, with prices not recovering until the middle of next year. Yesterday's 3 per cent drop on the S&P/ASX200 index dragged the market to its lowest point since March 14. Until a month ago, Australian shares had not dropped more than 2.7 per cent in a day since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
BHP and Macquarie Bank — two companies whose shares are widely held by small investors — were among the worst hit in yesterday's sell-off. Macquarie shares were stripped of more than 5 per cent of their value to close down $3.55 at $66.68. BHP slumped $1.86, or 5.3 per cent, to close trading at $33.20. Shares in RAMS Home Loans Group, which were savaged on Tuesday by revelations that the company's profits would be hit by the global crisis, lost another six cents to close at $1.35.Intersuisse director of equities Andrew Sekely said the RAMS statement may have sparked the panic selling. "The problems that have been mostly in the US up until now have suddenly come to Australia," he said. "That's made people a bit frightened as to what the further ramifications might be." There are fears that the crisis in the US surrounding the so-called sub-prime mortgages could have a major impact on the US economy and, by extension, global economic growth. But the damage to the Australian sharemarket has frustrated some market watchers, who point to the strong performance of Australian companies, low inflation and continued economic growth. Commonwealth Bank shares fell 1.85 per cent yesterday, despite the bank reporting a 14 per cent profit rise and a higher dividend. "Investor fear is driving this now, not fundamentals," said Bell Potter Securities research director Peter Quinton. By falling more than 10 per cent, the market is said to have experienced a "correction" — meaning investors have substantially revalued it and the change is more significant than the usual, daily fluctuations.Citi Investment Research director Graham Harman said that while the correction did not necessarily mean the bull market was over, the bull was ageing. The market would recover as long as inflation remained low and companies continued recording big profits. "If inflation really gets out of the bottle, this bull market has got a problem — and this is separate to the sub-prime problem," he said.
So, why have I posted this on my blog? easy, to mark this event as a historic marker recorded. Reason? because I have known that the us's economy will fail and fall drastically and I just wanted to note the date of this beginning and how stupid sheeple are when they don't see just how different we are to 'us' and how we (Aus) can continue being abundant and prosperous without the 'us'

Tardis
ok,ok just had to put this in!!
the ultimate time travel machine.
so who's a Dr Who fan?
the next question is does anybody know what Tardis means?
Time travel
Prof Amos Ori has set out a theoretical model of a time machine which would allow people to travel back in time to explore the past.The way the machine would work rests on Einstein’s theory of general relativity, a theory of gravity that shows how time can be warped by the gravitational pull of objects.Bend time enough and you can create a loop and the possibility of temporal travel.Prof Ori’s theory, set out in the prestigious science journal Physical Review, rests on a set of mathematical equations describing hypothetical conditions that, if established, could lead to the formation of a time machine, technically known as “closed time-like curves.” In the blends of space and time, or spacetime, in his equations, time would be able to curve back on itself, so that a person travelling around the loop might be able to go further back in time with each lap. In the past, one of the major challenges has been the alleged need for an exotic material with strange properties - what physicists call negative density - to create these time loops.“This is no longer an issue,” he told The Daily Telegraph.“You can construct a time machine without exotic matter,” he said.It is now possible to use any material, even dust, so long as there is enough of it to bend spacetime into a loop. even though Prof Ori, of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, believes his new work strengthens the possibility of a real Tardis, he would not speculate on when a time machine would be built, or even if it would ever be possible. “There are still some open questions.” The main remaining issue is the stability of space time, the very fabric of the cosmos, in time travel scenarios. But overcoming this obstacle may require the next generation of theory under development, called quantum gravity, which attempts to blend general relativity with the ideas of the quantum theory, the mathematical ideas that rule the atomic world.

What is cancer?
This article is just a reminder to us here in Australia as this information about microwaving food has been around for quite some time , guess America is a bit slow to catch on to this info or perhaps more so to pass it onto its population.
Read and remember because this is important information.
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment,
it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including
supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys
rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro- intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more
tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts.
Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract.
Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are
easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat
some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is
acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes.
Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti- oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a
loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level.
Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

John Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. The combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, use glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners,should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass. Plastic wrap, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Mooncycles and quakes
This information is given by Mitch Batross from Earthchanges TV.
Explanation of the corelation between lunar eclises and QAuakes:
The science behind the connection between lunar events and earthquakes indicates it is the act of "fluid displacement" which is the culprit. Not just seawater of the oceans, but also fresh waters of large lakes, magma, and even oil. During the phases of a Full Lunar Eclipse, gravity is increased and water (fluid) rises. This in turn puts increased pressure on tectonic plates. The reverse is also a culprit. When the event phases of a 'new moon' occur, fluids retract. It is the "displacement"--- whether it is the expanding or the contracting, which causes the plates to shift.
What I am about to tell you should be considered 'conjecture', however what I will layout below is pure unabated fact. As many of you know, I am a researcher and author who among other items, study the science-of-cycles. What I see coming based on this science is worthy of announcement.
This is not a warning of imminent danger, but rather a 'tap on the shoulder' to be aware of the coming full moon eclipse on August 28th and what history tells us might occur. There appears to be a noticeable cycle of escalation in earthquake and volcanic activity within two weeks prior and/or two weeks after a full lunar eclipse. If this holds true, you might want to mark your calendars from August 14th to September 12th. These dates indicate two weeks prior to the August 28th full lunar eclipse, and two week after the event. This is an area of research which brings both worlds together. The world of (old) ancient text, and the world of (new) modern science. They both tell us of "cycles". You might remember my frequent guest, Carlos Barrios Mayan Elder, told us in our June 19th interview: "Watch for disruption to occur in the time between late July and late August. The energy will be very intense".
Here are the dates of full lunar eclipse from 2001 to 2010
2001 Jan 09 2003 May 16 2003 Nov 09 2004 May 04 2004 Oct 28 2007 Mar 03
And here is what happened: Events which occurred within two weeks prior and/or two weeks after the last six full lunar eclipse.
January 2001 - (India) A magnitude 7.6 earthquake shook the Indian Province of Gujarat. It was one of the two most deadly earthquakes to strike India in its recorded history. The death toll was 19,727, number of injured at 166,000, over 600,000 people were left homeless, with 348,000 houses destroyed and an additional 844,000 damaged.
May 2003 - (Turkey) At least 176 people have died and 521 people were injured after a magnitude 6.4 earthquake that shook the eastern Turkey's Bingol province. Several public buildings collapsed in the centre of Bingol city and its vicinity. The last official report concerning the consequences of the earthquake in the city indicates about 570 buildings were collapsed and about 6000 others were damaged.
May 2003 - (Algiers) A strong earthquake measuring 6.8 magnitude struck the coastal region east of Algiers and the Tell Atlas mountains of Algeria. 2,251 people died, another 1,200 missing, 10,243 were injured and 200,000 made homeless.
May 2003 - (Japan) A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit northern Japan, however, there were no casualties and very few people were injured due to the depth (about 44 miles underground) of the epicenter of the earthquake.
October 2003 - (China) A magnitude 6.1 earthquake kills nine, and more than 43 people were injured after two earthquakes jolted northwest China's Gansu Province. Over 10,000 homes have been destroyed, leaving their occupants exposed to temperatures that can fall below freezing, according to Gansu provincial seismological bureau.
April 2004 - (United States) Yellowstone Super Volcano experienced over 400 quakes within three days. This type of increase in earthquake activity is called a "swarm". Parts of the caldera were closed to the public with areas of surface temperatures reaching over 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Some reports were telling of the sole of on-lookers shoes were melting just prior to the area's closing.
October 2004 - (Japan) A series of powerful earthquakes the strongest with a magnitude of 6.7 jolted northern Japan, killing at least 30 people and injuring more than 2000 people largely as the result of building collapse. The strongest earthquakes occurred during a period of several hours with the main epicenter located near Yamakoshi village, Niigata Prefecture. Thousands of landslides were triggered by the earthquakes and aftershocks with much associated damage to roads, agricultural fields, and residential.
March 2004 - (United States) An ongoing swarm of small earthquakes began in the Three Sisters volcanic center in the central Oregon Cascade Range. The earthquakes are occurred in the northeast part of an area centered 5 kilometers (3 miles) west of South Sister volcano in which the ground has been uplifted by as much as 25 cm (about 10 inches) since late 1997.
February 2004 - (Morocco) A 6.4 magnitude earthquake in northern Morocco near the coastal city of al Hoceima killed 628 people and left 15,000 homeless
Explanation of the corelation between lunar eclises and QAuakes:
The science behind the connection between lunar events and earthquakes indicates it is the act of "fluid displacement" which is the culprit. Not just seawater of the oceans, but also fresh waters of large lakes, magma, and even oil. During the phases of a Full Lunar Eclipse, gravity is increased and water (fluid) rises. This in turn puts increased pressure on tectonic plates. The reverse is also a culprit. When the event phases of a 'new moon' occur, fluids retract. It is the "displacement"--- whether it is the expanding or the contracting, which causes the plates to shift.

The question that no-one can answer?
Academics at the London University New Academic Terminology Information Centre (L.U.N.A.T.I.C.) have announced that their 20 year search for the "Question that has no answer" has finally ended. The question, first shown at the L.U.N.A.T.I.C. annual conference in Whitby Bay last year resulted in a team being locked away to try and find an answer."We think we do have the question which has no answer" beamed a slightly bleary eyed Professor. "Despite the combined efforts of England's leading academics, Leading Dictionary owners, Department of Culture, and various famous authors no answer has been found"
The question to which there is no answer is: "What is the opposite of opposite?"
Some sources say Oxford & Cambridge, Collins and Wykpedia have offered (UK) £100,000 for the first person to give the answer.What is opposite to opposite - think about it. Other subjects under scrutiny by people who have absolutely no life include: Why are wrong numbers never engaged? What was the best thing before sliced bread? And why are bees knees so special?
Is this like "the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friend......."

Super microscope, Synchrotron
Scientists say the opening of a super microscope in Melbourne will transform Australia's scientific landscape and bring millions of dollars into the national economy. The Australian synchrotron, built in south-east Melbourne, harnesses beams of electrons creating light a million times brighter than the sun which is used in science and industrial research. Medical research director Suzanne Cory, of The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, said the synchrotron would change Australian science by turning the nation's "brain-drain into brain-gain". "This synchrotron will transform Australia's science agenda across many fields," Professor Cory said. "People who previously felt they needed to work overseas to get access to a synchrotron for their science will be able to rethink their career plan, and we will attract scientists from other countries to join us," she said. Opening the synchrotron on Tuesday, Victorian Premier John Brumby said it would herald a new era in research. Synchrotrons can be used for research in medicine, manufacturing, mining and mineral processing, forensics, the environment, pharmaceuticals, biology, forestry, agriculture, micro-machining and nano-technology. The Australian project, which is the size of a football field, has been partially running for more than a month.It is expected to bring an extra $110 million a year into the national economy, creating an extra 2,500 direct and indirect jobs, Mr Brumby said. CSIRO researcher Jeff Church says he plans to use the synchrotron to find the cause of Devil Facial Tumour Disease, a deadly cancer affecting Tasmanian devils. He will develop a test to diagnose the disease among Tasmanian devils captured in the field. The synchrotron generates radiation, or light, when an electron beam is deflected by magnets. The light beam is used to probe samples of material.Five beamlines are now operating and four more are under design and construction at the machine site in Clayton, in Melbourne's south-east. Overseas researchers have used synchrotron technology in producing designer medicines, creating flat screen computers and extending the life of jet engines.It has also been used in developing smoother chocolate and more absorbent disposable nappies.There are more than 40 synchrotrons in the world and Australia's rates in the top 10, according to information from the Victorian government, which contributed $157 million to the $207 million machine.Other funding partners include Australian and New Zealand consortia.The federal government has contributed a further $14 million to enable additional capabilities on the initial beamlines.
addendum:
What is a synchrotron device — a sub-atomic particle accelerator.
Synchrotrons are now mostly used for producing monochromatic high intensity X-ray beams; here, the synchrotron is the circular track, off which the beamlines branch.
A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator in which the magnetic field (to turn the particles so they circulate) and the electric field (to accelerate the particles) are carefully synchronized with the travelling particle beam. They were originally developed by Luis Walter Alvarez to study high-energy particle physics.

the economy explained through cows, a unique yet acurate view
Political Models explained with Cows - 2007 update
SOCIALISM You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and you wait in a queue for hours to get some milk which by that time is sour.
FASCISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away...
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
SURREALISM You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at
the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back , with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of
the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to
your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States
, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull.
THE ANDERSEN MODEL You have two cows. You shred them
A FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads,because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon'and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. The mafia comes and takes all the cows away but you haven't noticed that.
A SWISS CORPORATION You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest and behead the newsman who reported the real situation.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION You have two cows. Both are mad.
AN IRAQI CORPORATION Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the **** out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy....
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.
