Monster of the Milky Way

Posted on October 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Lubos Motl, it does not have to be “ten billion souls” that we find of just one the same. How many scientists do you know that refer to Plato? If enough is captured as “part of the original,” then why … Continue reading →

"Lead by Physics," Faces the "Trouble With Physics"

Posted on October 15, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what … Continue reading →

George Gabriel Stokes

Posted on October 12, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Sir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet (13 August 1819–1 February 1903) was an Irish mathematician and physicist, who at Cambridge made important contributions to fluid dynamics (including the Navier-Stokes equations), optics, and mathematical physics (including Stokes’ theorem). He was secretary, … Continue reading →

From Modelling to Experimentation?

Posted on October 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Moving to higher energies, the expected fluxes of neutrinos become smaller, that even a cubic kilometer detector is not able to detect them. Larger volumes can be achieved by replacing optical sensors by acoustic detection. The reason is that acoustic … Continue reading →

CP Violation

Posted on October 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The value of non-Euclidean geometry lies in its ability to liberate us from preconceived ideas in preparation for the time when exploration of physical laws might demand some geometry other than the Euclidean. Bernhard Riemann ON a macroscale the blackhole … Continue reading →

Are Strangelets Natural?

Posted on September 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Thus RHIC is in a certain sense a string theory testing machine, analyzing the formation and decay of dual black holes, and giving information about the black hole interior. It is important that you look at the date of this … Continue reading →

Cosmic Rays in Atlas

Posted on September 28, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Like Piglet describing the Heffalump in Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne, one knows this started out in some fantastical world. More then, the “inkblot” as a comparison leads too/from, a fictional story, and became the fantasy of Alice that … Continue reading →

Why do physicists want to study particles?

Posted on September 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

A few “cosmic rays” pass through our body every second of every day, regardless of where we are. They consist of particles created when high energy atomic nuclei (mainly protons) coming from outer space collide with the atoms at the … Continue reading →

What is Natural?

Posted on September 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Fig. 2. Image showing how an 8 TeV black hole might look in the ATLAS detector (with the caveat that there are still uncertainties in the theoretical calculations). The question I would pose to those who do not have the … Continue reading →
