Dirac’s Hidden Geometries

Posted on September 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I find this interesting because I like to visualizze as much as possible, and I sometimes think the basis of the leading ideas in science would had to follow a progression. Klein’s Ordering of Geometries was one such road that … Continue reading →

The Total Field

Posted on September 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

For me this title above strikes a cord somehow in the struggle and regard, leading in our comprehensions to the extension of the standard model. By bringing gravity into the picture and descibing the graviton teaming in the bulk of … Continue reading →

The Earth in Gamma Rays

Posted on September 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

This is a false-color image of the Earth in three gamma-ray energy bands, analogous to the colors red (lower energy), green (mid energy) and blue (higher energy) in the visible spectrum. The lower right shows a composit image.(Image credit: NASA/CGRO/EGRET/ … Continue reading →
