From cosmic strings to computer chips: Cooling rate triggers phase transitions in silicon surfaces This is an unusual experiment, where they flash froze silicon, and found it displays a specific phase transition, that resembles the Big Bang, and can explain how atoms and molecules create geometry flaws. Over the last century scientists have established that everything in nature attempts to become as efficient as possible, yet everything displays sensitivity to initial conditions (chaos theory). Now, they're discovering that everything also resembles a phase transition, but time can actually move backwards in local pockets. The real secret behind gravity, is that a theory of everything is taboo and, once the rest of us work it out, it will be too late for academia, Wall Street, or the Pentagon to stop us, because they've already ensured half the damn planet is still living in the dark ages.
