First Stars Behind the Scene

Posted on December 28, 2006 by PlatoHagel

There are several recognized processes from the early universe that leave relic effects setting the stage for galaxy formation and evolution. We deal here with the first generarion of stars, primordial nucleosynthesis, the epoch of recombination, and the thermal history … Continue reading →

The Geometrics Behind the Supernova and it’s History

Posted on December 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

It is not always easy for people to see what lies behind the wonderful beauty of images that we take from the satellite measures of space, and it’s dynamical events illustrated in Cassiopeia A. There before you is this majestic … Continue reading →

Hubble Finds Evidence for Dark Energy in the Young Universe

Posted on December 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I had to go back to the article for some further reading. These snapshots, taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, reveal five supernovae, or exploding stars, and their host galaxies. The arrows in the top row of images point to … Continue reading →

Cosmic ray spallation

Posted on December 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As this NASA chart indicates, 70 percent or more of the universe consists of dark energy, about which we know next to nothing Other explanations of dark energy, called “quintessence,” originate from theoretical high-energy physics. In addition to baryons, photons, … Continue reading →

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz

Posted on December 18, 2006 by PlatoHagel

This is a historical reference as well as leading to a conclusion I won’t say it for you just that I present the idea, “written word,” and then you decide what that message is. You might have thought it disjointed, … Continue reading →

Against Symmetry

Posted on December 14, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The term “symmetry” derives from the Greek words sun (meaning ‘with’ or ‘together’) and metron (‘measure’), yielding summetria, and originally indicated a relation of commensurability (such is the meaning codified in Euclid’s Elements for example). It quickly acquired a further, … Continue reading →

Visual Abstraction to Equations

Posted on December 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Sylvester’s models lay hidden away for a long time, but recently the Mathematical Institute received a donation to rescue some of them. Four of these were carefully restored by Catherine Kimber of the Ashmolean Museum and now sit in an … Continue reading →

Universal Library

Posted on December 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred.Ralph Waldo Emerson “It is perhaps the oldest university in the world.” Can you imagine if one might have been restricted from the museums … Continue reading →

Reaching for the Stars

Posted on December 6, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Mars in 6 weeks? And back in a total of four months? That’s the prediction of a design team working on antimatter rocket concepts at Pennsylvania State University. But first, you have to get the stuff – and store it. … Continue reading →
