  • Unexpected High energies of Cosmic Rays

    Plato said: I am thinking about Lee Smolin’s history here in terms of discrete measures ( I am developing a perspective here in relation that will be complied later) How this effected the the way Lee may have viewed the background. I don’t want to speak for Lee Smolin, but I would like to make…

  • String Connection?

    The possibility of a connection between string theory and RHIC collisions is unexpected and exhilarating,” Dr. Orbach said. “String theory seeks to unify the two great intellectual achievements of twentieth-century physics, general relativity and quantum mechanics, and it may well have a profound impact on the physics of the twenty-first century.” In this narrow class…

  • Michael Faraday

    Michael Faraday (September 22, 1791 – August 25, 1867) was a British scientist (a physicist and chemist) who contributed significantly to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. While it is always nice to see history in it’s developemental stages, it is also nice to see this segment of the developemental process encoded in GR developement.…

  • Search for Extra-dimensions with ATLAS at the LHC: The Lions Den

    I have often wonder whether or not my opinions about left and right aspect battling in society, are right?:) Peter Woit saids string theory is right wing financed? I hate to dread that media has been perversive enough in order to support political factions affecting science? So I’ll tell you how affected I have become…

  • The Trigger

    Since there exist in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent “now” objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears therefore more natural to think of physical reality as a four dimensional existence, instead of, as hitherto, the evolution of a three…

  • Why No New Einstein

    To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.. -Plato, The Republic (Book VII) The inference of dimensional attributes scares many good minds away from the matters at hand?:) Lubos Motl: The only truly open questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics are those that also require us…

  • A recipe for making strings in the lab

    All you educated people must forgive me here. I do not have the benefit, of the student and teacher relationship, yet I rely heavily on my intuitive processes. I cannot say whether for sure these are always right. IN this sense, I would not have been liked to call a Liar, or one who had…

  • The Calorimetric View?

    The Title, might seem somewhat strange, but a issue has developed for me that I see raised in the scourge of other intellectuals, who disavow the extra dimension scenario. So you have this view and you have this idea of missing energy? Where did it go and where did it come from? Pierre Auger linked…

  • The Holographical Mapping of the Standard Model onto the Blackhole Horizon

    New paper that came out yesterday written by Gerard ‘t Hooft Interactions between outgoing Hawking particles and ingoing matter are determined by gravitational forces and Standard Model interactions. In particular the gravitational interactions are responsible for the unitarity of the scattering against the horizon, as dictated by the holographic principle, but the Standard Model interactions…

  • Pierre Auger Observatory

    In his excellent paper, Louis LePrince-Ringuet, citing a remark of Powell’s at the Conference of Bagneres-de-Bigorre in 1953, declared that from that date on, particle accelerators took the place of cosmic rays, which more or less faded into the background. And yet, even today accelerators have not caught up with cosmic rays. Pierre Auger on…

  • CERN and Future Experiments

    I needed to come back down to earth for a minute to see where the trend is going with those who shall lead us poor earthlings into the future of experimental research and profound understandings. It would be nice to see perspectives by Lubos, PeterWoit the group here(meaning their blogs), as we look in this…
