The Black Hole Final State

Posted on July 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl It … Continue reading →

Liminocentric Structures: Which Circle do you Belong Too?

Posted on July 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If conceived as a series of ever-wider experiential contexts, nested one within the other like a set of Chinese boxes, consciousness can be thought of as wrapping back around on itself in such a way that the outermost ‘context’ is … Continue reading →

String Connection?

Posted on June 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The possibility of a connection between string theory and RHIC collisions is unexpected and exhilarating,” Dr. Orbach said. “String theory seeks to unify the two great intellectual achievements of twentieth-century physics, general relativity and quantum mechanics, and it may well … Continue reading →

Science and it’s Geometries?

Posted on June 29, 2005 by PlatoHagel

On the post preceding this one, although we talked about the nature of the symmetries in action, and within context of the Calabi Yau, there is a relatiosnhip that must be drawn to other quarters of our perceptions to help … Continue reading →
