3 Sphere

Posted on December 15, 2004 by PlatoHagel

What would mathemaics be without artistic expression, trying out it’s hand at how such geometrical visions continue to form? Did Escher Gauss and Reimann, see above 3 sphere? An expression of Salvador Dali perhaps in some religious context, who then … Continue reading →

Curvature Parameters

Posted on December 14, 2004 by PlatoHagel

How does get this intuitive feeling embedded within thinking if it has not grokked the significance on a cosmological scale? When one first begins to comprehend the intuitive possibilities the universe can move through, I was was struck, by the … Continue reading →

Lagrange Points

Posted on December 13, 2004 by PlatoHagel

How would clumping been drived from anything if such a supersymmetrical reality did not exist at some point? Without someview that would be consistent through out the cosmo, how would such points be of value, if we could not see … Continue reading →

What is the Ultimate Theory of Physics?

Posted on December 13, 2004 by PlatoHagel

It is always very interesting for me to try and understand how such short distances could have begun to have some visual world possibilities? When mathematics begins to develope a method to describing that same small world. Shahn Majid’s research … Continue reading →

THE ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE

Posted on December 9, 2004 by PlatoHagel

The String Theory Landscape, by Raphael Bousso and Joseph Polchinski Given the success of replacing the gravitational force with the dynamics of space and time, why not seek a geometric explanation for the other forces of nature and even for … Continue reading →

Quantum Geometry

Posted on December 9, 2004 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 I … Continue reading →

Compton and Graviton Scatterings?

Posted on December 9, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Sometimes it is very difficult to express what you want to say when you have so much information in your head. That you know it has to be expressed most carefully in order for one to get the jest of … Continue reading →

Quantum Mechanical Discription of the Spacetime Fabric

Posted on December 8, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Richard Feynman developed the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics in 1948 (some preliminaries were worked out earlier, in the course of his doctoral thesis work with John Archibald Wheeler) as a description of quantum theory corresponding to the action … Continue reading →

Strings Change Quantum Mechanical Discription of the World?

Posted on December 7, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Often times harmonical oscillators can disguise themselves in dialogue, and opposition, and bring about a “signatured state” of recognition? Have they become entangled? Have they defined themselves in terms of new elemental features of existance? Has strings presented itself as … Continue reading →

What Do We Mean When We Say "Continuum"?

Posted on December 7, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Here’s a description Albert Einstein gave on p. 83 of his Relativity: The Special and the General Theory: The surface of a marble table is spread out in front of me. I can get from any one point on this … Continue reading →
