		<description>Missed link to post:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductor

The onset of superconductivity is accompanied by abrupt changes in various physical properties, which is the hallmark of a phase transition. For example, the electronic heat capacity is proportional to the temperature in the normal (non-superconducting) regime. At the superconducting transition, it suffers a discontinuous jump and thereafter ceases to be linear. At low temperatures, it varies instead as eâˆ’Î±/T for some constant Î±. (This exponential behavior is one of the pieces of evidence for the existence of the energy gap.)


Emphasis is in the last sentence?</description>

		<description>What I find remarkable, is that for the process of ionization:
http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/quantumzone/debroglie.html

the early structure of Atoms with net Electric Charge&#039;s, must surely conform to a rather interesting &quot;duality&quot; ?

First Light would mean first &quot;charge&quot; , and thus would be a sort of &quot;CHARGED-wave-particle-duality&quot;? based on your choice of data your looking at!

The standard picture of the &quot;Periodic&quot; table, would be akin to the available number of Atoms in the early Universe?..there may have only been an abundance of &quot;TWO&quot; atomic type structures in the early Universe Hydrogen and Helium, and the &quot;dual-atoms&quot; interacted via a charged coupling process, thus a medium/state of Superconduction, must have been present?</description>

		<description>http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-09/uoc--att090806.php

It seems i just read an article about how the core of the Milky Way formed very quickly, and in a different way than the rest of the galaxy.  The Milky Way is thought to be an older galaxy - over 12 billion years old.

There&#039;s more than one way to skin a Universe.</description>

		<description>Hi Mark,
hot debate about how the &lt;b&gt;Dark Ages&lt;/b&gt; ended.
love it!</description>
