Space-Tearing Conifold Transitions

Posted on March 18, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Many years ago in my doodling, I created some comparisons to what I would have percieved in describing a point, line and plane. To me, I wanted to find a way to describe this point amidst a vast background of … Continue reading →

The Phenix

Posted on February 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

PHENIX, the Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment, is an exploratory experiment for the investigation of high energy collisions of heavy ions and protons. PHENIX is designed specifically to measure direct probes of the collisions such as electrons, muons, and … Continue reading →

The Arrow of Time

Posted on February 15, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius There is but one kind of entropy change. Entropy change is due to energy dispersal to, from, or within a system (as a function of temperature.), measured by microstate change: S = kB ln [microstates final … Continue reading →

Illusions and Miracles

Posted on January 19, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Abbott was certainly aware of these ideas although he did not express any interest in them. However, they must have represented some fascination to him on one level, since they raised from a different viewpoint one of his primary concerns, … Continue reading →

Calming the Fears by Making Aware

Posted on January 14, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If we discover the Planck scale near the TeV scale, this will represent the most profound discovery in physics in a century, and black hole production will be the most spectacular evidence of that new discovery It is important to … Continue reading →

Tiny Blackholes in Cosmic Observations?

Posted on January 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

205th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society 9-13 January 2005 — San Diego, CA I am kind of interested to find further information on how microstate blackholes might have been generated and looking at the concentration of minds, I wonder … Continue reading →

Quantum Gravity at Planck Length

Posted on January 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It was necessary to bring some of this infomration here while things are getting sorted out elsewhere. 6.4 Spacetime Topology Change by Joseph Polchinski This subsection is not directly related to black holes, but deals with another exotic question in … Continue reading →

Catch a Wave From Space

Posted on December 17, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Imagine the journey it took for us to have come to the developement of the methods to discern the nature of the Universe, and what Einstein has done for us in terms of General Relativity. A statement, about Gravity. Imagine … Continue reading →

Quantum Microstates: Gas Molecules in the Presence of a Gravitational Field

Posted on December 4, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Andy Strominger: This was a field theory that lived on a circle, which means it has one spatial dimension and one time dimension. We derived the fact that the quantum states of the black hole could be represented as the … Continue reading →

New Non-geometrical Generalization of the Principles of CFT Found?

Posted on November 17, 2004 by PlatoHagel

There is always a certain expectancy, when it comes having formulated the theoretical work, that further developement along these lines presenst the opportunities for such things to exist. A new non-geometrical generalization of the principles of CFT will be found, … Continue reading →
