Beyond Spacetime?

Posted on August 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As well as bringing the accelerator’s counter-rotating beams together, LHC insertion magnets also have to separate them after collision. This is the job of dedicated separators, and the US Brookhaven Laboratory is developing superconducting magnets for this purpose. Brookhaven is … Continue reading →

Cyclic Universe Could Explain Cosmological Constant

Posted on August 17, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Thanks Paul for pointing this article out here some time ago. Physicists have proposed several theories to explain why Λ is so small. One of the most popular — the “anthropic principle” — states that Λ is randomly set and … Continue reading →

Alice and the Cosmic Ballet, Now Meet Higgins

Posted on July 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As Alice learned, it’s not always clear what’s a looking glass, and what’s a window to another world. Mirrors and windows are often interchangeable: we look out into the world, and see ourselves reflected back. We look at a reflection, … Continue reading →

The Right Spin for a Neutrino Superfluid

Posted on July 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

So how does it pancake? Now it is always a interesting proposition that what is leading in perspective, is meet with immediate new information( I think of course here of Risk Assessment and the first topic dealing with the issue … Continue reading →

The Fate of our Planet?

Posted on June 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Clifford at cosmic variance addresses a fundamental question about the need(?) to populate other planets, versus exploring? Clifford: And it would be nice if we did the exploration primarily out of curiosity and wonder, and not out of fear for … Continue reading →

Scott Ellsworth Forbush:Opportune Times for Experimentation?

Posted on June 8, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Forbush Decrease Scott E. Forbush discovered the surprising inverse relationship between solar activity and cosmic rays There is some confusion still on my part as I wanted to understand the relationship between high energy particle and the conditions for which … Continue reading →

It’s Alive: Cosmic Ray Recordings

Posted on June 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I was doing some visiting around to see what Jacque Distler was doing and of course some blog entries are more dear to the heart, when you have followed the history and found correlative statements that bring the subject home … Continue reading →

The Blogging Experience

Posted on May 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Making “Hard copies” is always nice :) I have spent roughly two years devoted to using the blogger format to bring information together and have shared some of the research I had been doing . Bring perspective to areas that … Continue reading →

Krauss Speaks, People React? :)

Posted on April 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

We understand that Alice is just part of the developing perspective we have about interactions? THis is consistant with Glast, as well as any calormetrical understanding, from an interaction? That we had not explain the extra energy should still be … Continue reading →

Helioseismology

Posted on April 1, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Neutrino oscillation( 31 March 2006 Wikipedia) Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon whereby a neutrino created with a specific lepton flavor (electron, muon, or tau) can later be measured to have a different flavor. More specifically, the probability of … Continue reading →
