  • The Cosmic Triangle

    This link was added to paper by Steinhardt as ole picture was used for perspective had been updated, so I gave updated link to Steinhardt, as well as his paper. The Cosmic Triangle and the State of the Universe Dialogos of Eide

  • STRINGS ’05 PUBLIC LECTURES

    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 general public, and make correct the way in which a Peter Woit, Robbert Dijkgraaf or…

  • Special Lagrangian geometry

    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 in High Energy Physics and String Theory. In the late 1990s it was realized that…

  • Space-Tearing Conifold Transitions

    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 all points, so by constructing this diagram, and by realizing coordinates, intersection of lines and…

  • Stretching the Brain

    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, tickling your imagination with what you have found but always revealing yet another tantalizing layer…

  • Domains walls and Interconnecting Loops

    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 have found expression? If supersymmetrical realites are ever reached, looking backwards to the origins of…

  • Hodge Conjecture

    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 spacetime curvatures of gravity. So I have been looking to understand how the quantum mechanical…

  • Mirror Symmetry and Chirality?

    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 your mirror-image” is called chirality by knot theorists. The image sequence below shows the figure-eight…

  • Warped Field Creates Lensing

    The statement of this post, is distilled from the collaboration of some of the images to follow. In cosmic string developement there are these three points to consider. 1. Cosmological expansion 2. Intercommuting and Loop Production 3. Radiation I am always looking for this imagery that helps define further what gravitational lensing might have signified…

  • Cycle of Birth, Life, and Death-Origin, Indentity, and Destiny by Gabriele Veneziano

    Was the big bang really the beginning of time? Or did the universe exist before then? Such a question seemed almost blasphemous only a decade ago. Most cosmologists insisted that it simply made no sense – that to contemplate a time before the big bang was like asking for directions to a place north of…

  • The Cosmic String

    It was important for me to recognize the microcosmic view, could have been united with cosmological proportions, and revealled structural integrity to the way in which the universe was formed. If such views were manifesting from planck Epoch realizations, then it really was kind of easy to see how such conceptualizations might have revealled themselves…
