Trademarks of the Geometer II

Posted on October 5, 2005 by PlatoHagel

John g, Lubos had some claim about Martian ancestry, but we know that he jests?:) So I do not want to use up to much more of Lubos’s blog for this conversation even though he pushes the envelope. Perhaps, you … Continue reading →

The Succession of thinking

Posted on October 1, 2005 by PlatoHagel

How far indeed the the imagination can be taken to see such processes enveloped in how we percieve these changes all around us. Why is gravity so weak, here and now. I have jumped ahead but will lead into it … Continue reading →

On mathematics, imagination & the beauty of numbers

Posted on October 1, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It’s always nice to see this kind of infomration, because indeed if one were to start later on in life, then why not learn new things like mathematics. Especially, if it seems to be thta there is some consistancy in … Continue reading →

Plectics

Posted on September 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Murray Gellman: The name that I propose for our subject is “plectics,” derived, like mathematics, ethics, politics, economics, and so on, from the Greek. Since plektos with no prefix comes from *plek- , but without any commitment to the notion … Continue reading →

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 →

Big Ideas…..To String Theory

Posted on September 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Plato said: yes to Gauss and gaussian coordinates, not forgetting, Saccheri, Bolyai and Lobschevasky along this lineage of geometers On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry So A continuation from this, and reference to important papers for … 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 →

Under the heading of Klein`s Ordering of the Geometries : A theorem which is valid for a geometry in this sequence is automatically valid for the ones that follow. The theorems of projective geometry are automatically valid theorems of Euclidean … 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 →
