Recently (arXiv:1101.0973), it has been pointed out by us that the possible variation in any source (S) specific elemental isotopic (viz. 2H/1H) abundance ratio SR can more accurately be assessed by its absolute estimate Sr [viz. as (Sr - DR), with D as a standard-source] than by either corresponding measured-relative (S/W-DELTA) estimate ([Sr/Wr] - 1) or DELTA-scale-converted-relative (S/D-DELTA) estimate ([Sr/DR] - 1). Here, we present the fundamentals behind scale-conversion, thereby enabling to understand why at all Sr should be the source- and/ or variation-characterizing key, i.e. why different lab-specific results should be more closely comparable as absolute estimates (SrLab1, SrLab2) than as desired-relative (S/D-DELTALab1, S/D-DELTALab2) estimates. Further, the study clarifies that: (i) the DELTA-scale-conversion (S/W-DELTA into S/D-DELTA, even with the aid of calibrated auxiliary-reference-standard(s) Ai(s)) cannot make the estimates (as S/D-DELTA, and thus Sr) free of the measurement-reference W; (ii) the employing of (increasing number of) Ai-standards should cause the estimates to be rather (increasingly) inaccurate and, additionally, Ai(s)-specific; and (iii) the S/D-DELTA-estimate may, specifically if S happens to be very close to D in isotopic composition (IC), even misrepresent S; but the corresponding Sr should be very accurate. However, for S and W to be increasingly closer in IC, the S/D-DELTA-estimate and also Sr are shown to be increasingly accurate, irrespective of whether the S/W-DELTA-measurement accuracy could thus be improved or not. Clearly, improvement in measurement-accuracy should ensure additional accuracy in results.

This article presents and grounds (i.e. presents proof of the existence, the truth, the self-consistence and the completeness of)the informational conception (the Information as Absolute conception)in physics and philosophy. the conception defines the information as an ultimately common, real and fundamental concept/phenomenon - Absolute, which exists as anabsolutely infinite set (Information Set) of elements (members) and informational (e.g., logical) linksbetween the elements; where any element itself is some informational structure also. Correspondingly, for example, Matter as the substence, radiation, etc., is some development or realization of informational patterns, constituting a specific - and practically infinitesimal comparing to the Set - subset of the Information Set. The conception allows for the resolution, or at least for a consideration on a higher level of comprehension, of the basic ontological and epistemological problems in philosophy and natural sciences; in physics it allows to suggest reasonable model, which makes more clear basic phisical notions,such as space, time, matter, etc.
When both the difference between two quantities and their individual values can be measured or computational predicted, multiple quantities can be determined from the measurements or predictions of select individual quantities and select pairwise differences. These measurements and predictions form a network connecting the quantities through their differences. Here, I analyze the optimization of such networks, where the trace ($A$-optimal), the largest eigenvalue ($E$-optimal), or the determinant ($D$-optimal) of the covariance matrix associated with the estimated quantities are minimized with respect to the allocation of the measurement (or computational) cost to different measurements (or predictions). My statistical analysis of the performance of such optimal measurement networks -- based on large sets of simulated data -- suggests that they substantially accelerate the determination of the quantities, and that they may be useful in applications such as the computational prediction of binding free energies of candidate drug molecules.
The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery of accelerating supernovae dimness, suggesting a remarkable change in the expansion rate of the Universe from a decrease since the big bang to an increase, driven by anti-gravity forces of a mysterious dark energy material comprising 70% of the Universe mass-energy. Fluid mechanical considerations falsify both the accelerating expansion and dark energy concepts. Kinematic viscosity is neglected in current standard models of self-gravitational structure formation, which rely on cold dark matter CDM condensations and clusterings that are also falsified by fluid mechanics. Weakly collisional CDM particles do not condense but diffuse away. Photon viscosity predicts superclustervoid fragmentation early in the plasma epoch and protogalaxies at the end. At the plasma-gas transition, the plasma fragments into Earth-mass gas planets in trillion planet clumps (proto-globular-star-cluster PGCs). The hydrogen planets freeze to form the dark matter of galaxies and merge to form their stars. Dark energy is a systematic dimming error for Supernovae Ia caused by dark matter planets near hot white dwarf stars at the Chandrasekhar carbon limit. Evaporated planet atmospheres may or may not scatter light from the events depending on the line of sight.
Bayesian methods which utilize Bayes theorem to update the knowledge of desired parameters after each measurement, are used in a wide range of quantum science. For various applications in quantum science, efficiently and accurately determining a quantum transition frequency is essential. However, the exact relation between a desired transition frequency and the controllable experimental parameters is usually absent. Here, we propose an efficient scheme to search the suitable conditions for a desired quantum transition via an adaptive Bayesian algorithm, and experimentally demonstrate it by using coherent population trapping in an ensemble of laser-cooled $^{87}$Rb atoms. The transition frequency is controlled by an external magnetic field, which can be tuned in realtime by applying a d.c. voltage. Through an adaptive Bayesian algorithm, the voltage can automatically converge to the desired one from a random initial value only after few iterations. In particular, when the relation between the target frequency and the applied voltage is nonlinear, our algorithm shows significant advantages over traditional methods. This work provides a simple and efficient way to determine a transition frequency, which can be widely applied in the fields of precision spectroscopy, such as atomic clocks, magnetometers, and nuclear magnetic resonance.
In isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), any sample (S) measurement is performed as a relative-difference ((S/W)di) from a working-lab-reference (W), but the result is evaluated relative to a recommended-standard (D): (S/D)di. It is thus assumed that different source specific results ((S1/D)di, (S2/D)di) would represent their sources (S1, S2), and be accurately intercomparable. However, the assumption has never been checked. In this manuscript we carry out this task by considering a system as CO2+-IRMS. We present a model for a priori predicting output-uncertainty. Our study shows that scale-conversion, even with the aid of auxiliary-reference-standard(s) Ai(s), cannot make (S/D)di free from W; and the ((S/W)di,(A1/W)di,(A2/W)di) To (S/D)di conversion-formula normally used in the literature is invalid. Besides, the latter-relation has been worked out, which leads to e.g., fJ([(S/W)dJCO2pmp%],[(A1/W)dJCO2pmp%],[(A2/W)dJCO2pmp%]) = ((S/D)dJCO2pm4.5p%); whereas FJ([(S/W)dJCO2pmp%],[(A1/W)dJCO2pmp%]) = ((S/D)dJCO2pm1.2p%). That is, contrary to the general belief (Nature 1978, 271, 534), the scale-conversion by employing one than two Ai-standards should ensure (S/D)di to be more accurate. However, a more valuable finding is that the transformation of any d-estimate into its absolute value helps improve accuracy, or any reverse-process enhances uncertainty. Thus, equally accurate though the absolute-estimates of isotopic-CO2 and constituent-elemental-isotopic abundance-ratios could be, in contradistinction any differential-estimate is shown to be less accurate. Further, for S and D to be similar, any absolute estimate is shown to turn out nearly absolute accurate but any (S/D)d value as really absurd. That is, estimated source specific absolute values, rather than corresponding differential results, should really represent their sources, and/ or be closely intercomparable.
