Lingua Cosmica

Posted on March 24, 2007 by PlatoHagel

It looks as though primes tend to concentrate in certain curves that swoop away to the northwest and southwest, like the curve marked by the blue arrow. (The numbers on that curve are of the form x(x+1) + 41, the … Continue reading →

Solidification of Geometrical Presence

Posted on March 23, 2007 by PlatoHagel

While I might infer the “attributes of Coxeter here,” it is with the understanding such a dimensional perspective which has it’s counterpart in the result of what manifests as matter creations. Yet we have taken our views down to the … Continue reading →

στομα’χιον

Posted on March 22, 2007 by PlatoHagel

The word Stomachion has its root in a Greek word, στομα’χιον, meaning stomach. There is a 64-fold symmetry in the solution space of Stomachion tilings.That is how we can reduce the 17152 (=64 x 268) different tilings to merely 268. … Continue reading →

Posted on March 20, 2007 by PlatoHagel

“I’m a Platonist — a follower of Plato — who believes that one didn’t invent these sorts of things, that one discovers them. In a sense, all these mathematical facts are right there waiting to be discovered.“Donald (H. S. M.) … Continue reading →

It’s a Penquin?

Posted on March 16, 2007 by PlatoHagel

The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory … Continue reading →

IN Search of Mandelstam’s Holy Grail

Posted on March 14, 2007 by PlatoHagel

There are two posts that reflect the purpose of this post today. One is Clifford’s linked through Lee Smolin’s comment and the other, at Backreaction. Good Physics is Conflict A lot of you may never understand the significance of the … Continue reading →
