Nothingness?

Posted on February 28, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If you assume something always had to exist, then to me, this statement of nothingness is quite puzzling to me. The most surprising difference for the quantum case is the so-called zero-point vibration” of the n=0 ground state. This implies … Continue reading →

Veneziano Amplitude for Winding Strings

Posted on February 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It seems I am caught in strange world where topological functions are happening and if such tubes could contract and then expand then what energy amplitudes on tree models would say the string should have this much energy, and then … Continue reading →

The Triumph of the Standard Model

Posted on February 25, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The discovery of the massive top quark at Fermilab in 1994 spectacularly confirmed the predictions of the Standard Model John Ellis The fundamental particle interactions described by the Standard Model are the electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear forces. It has … Continue reading →

The Phenix

Posted on February 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

PHENIX, the Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment, is an exploratory experiment for the investigation of high energy collisions of heavy ions and protons. PHENIX is designed specifically to measure direct probes of the collisions such as electrons, muons, and … Continue reading →

Neutrinos for Geophysics

Posted on February 17, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I am always interested in seeing how the physics that has developed, could better induce minds to expand the potentials of these innovations to help the world’s population in a most appropriate way. The issues on climate and the ways … Continue reading →

Timeline

Posted on February 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

There are reasons for this theme, that I thought most appropriate to the discussion of illusion and miracles. In the thread previous to this one, a concept is put forward by Arkani-Hamed that focuses on the issue of the timeline … Continue reading →

Where is Gravity Stronger?

Posted on February 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If one were to ask where this energy came from, would such a weak gravitonic scale lead us to stronger inidcations of the energies presence and becomes a trail leading us to it’s source? What would gravity mean, if it … Continue reading →

The Arrow of Time

Posted on February 15, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius There is but one kind of entropy change. Entropy change is due to energy dispersal to, from, or within a system (as a function of temperature.), measured by microstate change: S = kB ln [microstates final … Continue reading →

HIgher Dimensions Without the Geometry?

Posted on February 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

In Illusions and Miracles I became concerned with what the mind’s capabilties which could encounter fifth dimensional views. That such examples were needed, and found in relation to Thomas Banchoff. Having understood the early development from Euclidean perspective, our furthered … Continue reading →
