  • All Particles of the Standard Model and Beyond

    Polchinski Elected Member Of National Academy of Sciences Polchinski’s discovery of D-branes and their properties is, according to the Academy citation, “one of the most important insights in 30 years of work on string theory.” Can I tell a little story before I head into the essence of this posted thread below? From one mechanic…

  • Intersection of D Branes

    I’m not going to try and kid you with “this stuff,” as it is extremely beyond anything that any of us mere mortal can understand. So, if such a thought would be to simplify, then how would such thinking be attributed to such model building and make it easier for us lay people to comprehend…

  • Second of Five Lagrangian Equilibrium Points

    The more I thought about it, the more it made sense that one image we’re getting, is quite different(lensing) from the image that is behind the brane? The idea of brane collision from steinhardt and turok perspective, created this space bewteen the branes, while the image behind this(the other image) is receding? I am not…

  • Foundations of Mathematic

    Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beautya beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit…

  • Main Stream Breakthrough on Cosmic Variance

    linked in title of article of same name, by Sean Carroll A Randall/Sundrum view of the cosmos The trick in this picture supplied by Sean is to look at the ideas of gravitonic concentrations, as these would be leading to the range from weak field manifestation to high energy strong concentrations. Such a variance is…

  • What are those Quantum Microstates

    Now two points occupy my mind that hold questions as to what and how such counting can be done in terms of geometric propensity, that would allow these geometries into topological states. First point is: Lubos Motl said: We need to get closer to the “theory of everything”, regardless of the question whether the destination…

  • Art and Science

    This is going to be quite the blog entry because as little a response might have been from Clifford’s links to artistic imagery and it’s relation to science. I definitely have more to say. So being short of time, the entries within this blog posting will seem disjointed, but believe me it will show a…

  • Some Distant Bounding Surface

    I mean when I referred to fifth dimensional views you know that the computer screen includes not only it’s functionability in relation to science, but adds that bit of extended flavour to model construction we call imaging right? a) Compactifying a 3-D universe with two space dimensions and one time dimension. This is a simplification…

  • CFT and the Tomato Soup Can

    As always, the layman trying to develope the mathematical views?:) Greg Kuperberg on Sep 15th, 2005 at 12:11 pm Conformal maps of the Earth are a great introduction to complex analysis. If you identify the Earth with the Riemann sphere, then the Mercator map is exp(i*z), while the quincuncial projection is a Weierstrass elliptic function.…

  • Atlas and Proton-proton Collisions

    Depth of Perception I am responding to the link here on Cosmic Variance and the related article, Cosmic Violence. I do not want to tie up their space, so my “further response” is being given here. I speak of Glast in the context of that “Window on the Universe” view. This helps to orientate our…

  • UV Fixed Point

    Clifford draws our attention to further talks here in his post and directs us to what Jacque Distler has to say. I must say this is a refreshing look with Jacques contribution to further the layman point of view. Such links are worth while in the advancement of the “sentient being” that Clifford might have…
