Bose-Einstein Condensate – A New State of Matter

More at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK6HxdUQm5s A Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter where quantum effects become apparent on a macroscopic scale. The slowing of atoms by the use of cooling produces a singular quantum state resulting in a new form of matter.

This state of matter was first predicted by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein in 1924–25. Bose first sent a paper to Einstein on the quantum statistics of photons. Einstein was impressed, translated the paper himself from English to German and submitted it for Bose to the Zeitschrift für Physik which published it.

Commercial Bankruptcies Spike, Consumer Bankruptcies Jump for First Time since 2010, but Don’t Blame the Oil Bust

wolfstreet.com / by Wolf Richter • Apr 8, 2017

The Great Debt Unwind, right here, right now.

Commercial bankruptcy filings, from corporations to sole proprietorships, spiked 28% in March from February, the largest month-to-month move in the data series of the American Bankruptcy Institute going back to 2012. They’re up 8% year-over-year. Over the past 24 months, they soared 37%! At 3,658, they’re at the highest level for any March since 2013.

Commercial bankruptcy filings skyrocketed during the Financial Crisis and peaked in March 2010 at 9,004. Then they fell sharply until they reached their low point in October 2015. November 2015 was the turning point, when for the first time since March 2010, commercial bankruptcy filings rose year-over-year.

Bankruptcy filings are highly seasonal, reaching their annual lows in December and January. Then they rise into tax season, peak in March or April, and zigzag lower for the remainder of the year. The data is not seasonally or otherwise adjusted – one of the raw and unvarnished measures of how businesses are faring in the economy.
