		<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's, must surely conform to a rather interesting "duality" ?

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

The standard picture of the "Periodic" table, would be akin to the available number of Atoms in the early Universe?..there may have only been an abundance of "TWO" atomic type structures in the early Universe Hydrogen and Helium, and the "dual-atoms" 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'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>
