Fractal cosmology – Wiki

On the 10th of March, 2007, the weekly Science magazine New Scientist featured an article entitled “Is the Universe a Fractal?”[6] on its cover. This was a follow-up of an earlier article in that same publication on August 21 of 1999, by Marcus Chown, entitled “Fractal Universe.”[7] A further New Scientist article by Amanda Gefter entitled “Galaxy map hints at fractal universe” was published in June 2008.

quote from

http://www.neatorama.com/2008/08/22/5-really-weird-things-about-water/

“At a molecular level, water is even weirder. In 1995, a neutron scattering experiment got a weird result: physicists found that when neutrons were aimed at water molecules, they “saw” 25% fewer hydrogen protons than expected.

Long story short, at the level of attoseconds (10-18 seconds) there is a weird quantum effect going on and the chemical formula for water isn’t H2O. It’s actually H1.5O!”

quote from

http://www.aip.org/enews/physnews/2003/split/648-1.html

“According to the experimenters (Aris Chatzidimitriou-Dreismann, Technical University-Berlin, dreismann@chem.TU-Berlin.de, 011-49-30-314-22692), this “opening of the attosecond time window” may be revealing dramatic quantum effects that were once too short-lived to catch. Nonetheless, such effects may revise conventional textbook notions of water and other everyday molecules. Moreover, these experiments can provide new insights on chemical reactions at the 100-500 attosecond scale”
