Philip Rosdale

We’re excited to announce that Philip Rosedale (SL: Philip Linden) will be giving a keynote address on Saturday morning at the Second Life Community Convention! Philip recently returned as interim CEO after Mark Kingdon stepped down in July, and we expect that he’ll address the company’s future direction and Linden Lab’s “return to the basics” of improving the core Second Life experience. In a recent post on the Second Life blogs, Philip talked frankly about addressing Resident’s concerns. “We need to get back to being the first to invent and deliver the solutions that evolve virtual worlds,” said Rosedale, “We are still at the beginning of a huge market.” Rosedale’s speech will be delivered in world and simultaneously webcast to attendees of the Second Life Community Convention in Boston on Saturday morning, August 14th, at 8AM EST/5AM PST.

Grokking the Grids

OSGrid loses regions,
"The top 40 public grids lost 20% of their reported area this past month — from 11,717 to 9,343 regions – due to summer cleaning at OSGrid. The largest OpenSim-based grid lost more than a third of its land area, falling from 7,530 to 4,962 regions as grid administrators cleared inactive regions off the books.

Cheat sheet for Viewer 2
My theory: Viewer 2.x is a puzzle game in which we are supposed to find the hidden keys. In most games, the tricks open trunks, gates, or doors. In Viewer 2.x, the keys allow experienced users to do the things we are accustomed to doing in viewer 1.x, only with more difficulty.

Would Second Life want this kind of promotion?

The promotion needs to fit the product, of course. And the value of promoting in OnLive will depend on the demographics and interests of the audience. But we already have a good idea of the demographics and interests of the audience.

Neutrino muonico si trasforma in neutrino tauonico!

Da Ginevra al Gran Sasso
http://www.media.inaf.it/gallery/v/video/aep/altri-video/CNGS-narrow.flv.html

***********************************************************************************
I neutrini provengono dal CERN di Ginevra, dove vengono creati attraverso una serie di passaggi che partono da una bombola di gas idrogeno per arrivare, attraverso pareti in grafite e ferro, fino a un fiotto di neutrini che viene lanciato nella roccia. Le particelle attraversano il sottosuolo in linea retta e quasi alla velocità della luce fino al Gran Sasso. I neutrini infatti sono in grado di attraversare enormi spessori di materia senza interagire.
***********************************************************************************

IL VIAGGIO DEI NEUTRINI
partenza: Cern
arrivo: Laboratori Infn del Gran Sasso
tragitto: 730 km
tempo di percorrenza: 2,4 millisecondi
profondità massima: 11,4 km
inizio dell'esperimento: 2007
neutrini muonici lanciati dal Cern: decine di miliardi ogni giorno
neutrini muonici osservati al Gran Sasso: una ventina al giorno
neutrini tau (che hanno subito l'oscillazione) osservati: uno in tutto
*************************************************************************************LE CONSEGUENZE
Se i neutrini possono oscillare, vuol dire che hanno una massa
Il modello standard della fisica, quello accettato generalmente, non prevede che i neutrini abbiano una massa
Alla luce della scoperta del Gran Sasso, bisognerà correggere il modello standard

Nuove locandine di SotR

Questa sera Sarà il turno di "Piegare la luce " a New Itland

Le nuove locandine di Scienza on the road
Monday, 07 Dec 2009 11:00:28 GMT

[ITA] "Scienza on the road" entra nella quindicesima settimana di attività. Alla fine di dicembre si conclude il primo ciclo del progetto che riprenderà poi a febbraio. Come ogni mese si rinnova la grafica delle locandine. Dopo lo stile rigoroso e minimalista di Zorro Hirvi i nuovi manitesti sono opera di Romis Mazi che ha elegantemente tipizzato la grafica secondo i temi trattati. Eccone una selezione.

Scienza on the road a Piccola Venezia

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Minola/82/69/22


[ITA]
STASERA lunedì 9 novembre a Piccola Venezia, Minola,

alle ore 22:15 (1:15 pm SLT) appuntamento per

"Piegare la luce", con Eleonora Porta.

Come si fa a piegare la luce? Eleonora Porta ci aiuterà a entrare in una fibra ottica per scoprirlo.
Le fibre ottiche sono utilizzate nelle più recenti applicazioni delle telecomunicazioni. Hanno ottime qualità in termini di velocità di trasmissione e bassa attenuazione dei segnali. Il viaggio di stasera attraverso una fibra ottica ce ne mostrerà i vantaggi e ci farà capire perchè un fascio di luce segue un percorso determinato invece di una line retta.
Presentazione di Giovanna Delphin.

In diretta streaming video grazie a 2lifecast.
L'evento sarà visible in web: http://immersiva.ning.com/page/channel-streaming

“Scienza on the Road” è il progetto itinerante dei gruppi Immersiva e Second Physics, per la divulgazione degli argomenti scientifici in ambienti virtuali.

[ENG] [Eos Akina]

Today, Monday November 9th, at 1:15 pm SLT (22:15 CET ) we'll meet for "Scienza on the Road" at Piccola Venezia. Eleonora Porta will talk about "Piegare la luce" ("How to bend light").

Can light be bend? And how? Eleonora Porta will help us to get into an optical fiber to find it out.
Optical fibers are used in the most recent technological applications. They have excellent qualities with regard to transmission speed and signal low dimming. Today's journey through an optical fiber will show us its advantages and will let us understand why a light beam follows a certain path rather than a straight line.
The event will be presented by Giovanna Delphin.

It will be possible to follow the event in streaming video thanks to 2lifecast.

“Scienza on the Road” is the itinerant project of the Italian groups Immersiva and Second Physics, to spread the interest and knowledge of scientific subjects in SL.
