Postcards from Cutty ramblings 002

Postcards from Cutty ramblings 002 I think maybe the most interesting part of PFC isn't Cutty or the human technology, but rather the aliens - who I call the "Algeans". Cutty never encounters any of this extinct species, only their robots which have spread across the galaxy. The Algeans evolved on a Europa-like moon, living in upside-down kelp forests. Their ancestors used borrowed shells like hermit crabs, but they switched to artificial armor/clothes as they got bigger. Their bodies are cephalapod-like, with five elephant trunks. Their eyes have fixed lenses like big spider eyes. Their home world's biosphere was clustered around ocean floor vulcanism, and the underside of the ice crust fed by nutrient gases and liquids. Photoreceptors actually evolved in the lower zone, so creatures could seek/avoid volcanic activity. But their usefulness would spread to the upper zone, thanks to bioluminescence. The Algeans thus lived in an environment not unlike our deep sea oceans, but flipped ...

Proton Decay and the Quantum Structure of Spacetime

Virtual black holes in noncommutative spacetime are investigated using coordinate coherent state formalism such that the event horizon of black hole is manipulated by smearing it with a Gaussian of width $ \sqrt θ$, where $ θ$ is the noncommutativity parameter. Proton lifetime, the main associated phenomenology of the noncommutative virtual black holes, has been studied: first in $4$ dimensional spacetime and then generalized to $D$ dimensions. The lifetime depends on $ θ$ and the number of spacetime dimensions such that it emphasizes on the measurement of proton lifetime as a potential probe for the micro-structure of spacetime.
