Part of Facing the Trouble With Physics

Posted on October 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

It might be that the laws change absolutely with time; that gravity for instance varies with time and that this inverse square law has a strength which depends on how long it is since the beginning of time. In other … Continue reading →

What is Cerenkov Radiation?

Posted on October 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

…the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.Albert Einstein Many do not recognize the process that unfolds in the developing perspectives about theoretics? … Continue reading →

The Periodic Table of the Moon’s Strata

Posted on October 3, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Clementine color ratio composite image of Aristarchus Crater on the Moon. This 42 km diameter crater is located on the corner of the Aristarchus plateau, at 24 N, 47 W. Ejecta from the plateau is visible as the blue material … 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 →

Catching Nature in Action

Posted on October 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

To capture the particles emerging from powerful proton-proton collisions at the LHC, scientists design and build huge, massive detectors. The CMS detector, about 50 feet tall, relies on an array of particle detection subsystems. The tracker (the subsystem at its … 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 →

Allotropes and the Ray of Creation

Posted on September 19, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Just thinking here about “life” in general and dreaming. As well, this takes us back to the article from Backreaction. This post was generated in response to Q’s comment and my subsequent statements that I supplied in turn. Take “full … Continue reading →

Gamma Ray Detection and Early Universe?

Posted on August 28, 2006 by PlatoHagel

How have our views been changed with regards to the “Window on the Universe?” High energy photons engaged with gluonic perceptions perhaps? MAGIC is an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope or IACT that has started measuring since the commissioning ended in … Continue reading →
