Atlas and Proton-proton Collisions

Posted on September 14, 2005 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

UV Fixed Point

Posted on September 2, 2005 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

STRINGS ’05 PUBLIC LECTURES

Posted on August 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Peter Woit: Dijkgraaf’s talk was completely standard string evangelism, and except for a couple slides mentioning D-branes and black holes, could easily have been given, completely unchanged, twenty years ago. Sometimes if you do not do this assessment for the … Continue reading →

Special Lagrangian geometry

Posted on June 29, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Dr. Mark Haskins On a wider class of complex manifolds – the so-called Calabi-Yau manifolds – there is also a natural notion of special Lagrangian geometry. Since the late 1980s these Calabi-Yau manifolds have played a prominent role in developments … Continue reading →

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 →

Stretching the Brain

Posted on March 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Pettit shakes a remarkably sturdy film of water onboard the ISS. See the full-length movie: Reel 1, Reel 2. “Observations of nature, no matter how seemingly arcane, are like peeling off one more layer from the great onion of knowledge, … Continue reading →

Domains walls and Interconnecting Loops

Posted on January 12, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It seems wellness is coming back in full force:) so I thought I would take some advice. This paragraph below italizied, and the one related to Chen for consideration, in terms of the abtract world that topological consideration, might have … Continue reading →

Hodge Conjecture

Posted on December 21, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Interplay between geometry and topology. One of the things that I am having difficulty with is if I understood the idea of a cosmic string. The understanding would have to imply that the higher dimensions would reveal themselves within the … Continue reading →

Mirror Symmetry and Chirality?

Posted on December 19, 2004 by PlatoHagel

What is the mathematical reasoning, for reducing GR down to the quantum world? How would these application be considered in a supersymmetrical world? Is the figure-eight knot the same knot as its mirror-image? The property of “being the same as … Continue reading →
