  • Concepts of the Fifth Dimension

    “Yet I exist in the hope that these memoirs, in some manner, I know not how, may find their way to the minds of humanity in Some Dimensionality, and may stir up a race of rebels who shall refuse to be confined to limited Dimensionality.” from Flatland, by E. A. Abbott Oskar Klein September 15,…

  • On Gauss’s Day of Reckoning

    A famous story about the boy wonder of mathematics has taken on a life of its own –Brian Hayes Illustration by Theoni PappasIn a fanciful drawing done in the manner of a woodcut, the young Carl Friedrich Gauss receives instruction in arithmetic from the schoolmaster J. G. Büttner. As the story goes, Gauss was about…

  • Computer Language and Math Joined from Artistic Impressionism?

    Most people think of “seeing” and “observing” directly with their senses. But for physicists, these words refer to much more indirect measurements involving a train of theoretical logic by which we can interpret what is “seen.”- Lisa Randall Cubist Art: Picasso’s painting ‘Portrait of Dora Maar’Cubist art revolted against the restrictions that perspective imposed. Picasso’s…

  • EQ and Intuition

    A 180 degree stance on how “consciousness,” body and emotion, might be directed by mind? So, you might say “mind is emphemeral in quality” in some regards? All heart you say! “Heart” is the balance between? Involution and evolution Yet, there is a interplay between, “the body home” and “the abstractual mind” further out, while,…

  • Nodes and Anti-nodes

    Tool’s for measure. The center of the gyroscope is a jewel-like sphere of fused quartz. These spheres, the size of Ping-Pong balls, are the roundest objects ever made by man. The tiny spheres are enclosed inside a housing chamber to prevent disruption from sound waves, and chilled to almost absolute zero to prevent their molecular…

  • On Gauss’s Mountain

    You must understand that any corrections necessary are appreciated. The geometrical process spoken too here must be understood in it’s historical development to undertand, how one can see differently. Euclidean geometry, elementary geometry of two and three dimensions (plane and solid geometry), is based largely on the Elements of the Greek mathematician Euclid (fl. c.300…

  • "Wholeness and Creativity" under the Guise of Synesthesia

    It is not without some understanding, that models can influence how the rest of the mind might seek to unify such concepts. Is there some spiritual sigificance to it? In Wassily Kandinsky’s mind there might be, yet some woud argue, that Wassily was and had this process taking form in the mind but did not…

  • Increase in Output of Inverse Square Law Calculatons ?

    Oh my poor layman brain. It hurts. String theory and the crisis in particle physics by Bert Schroer The third point of the list is perhaps the most serious one. A theory which has in more than 30 years been unable to get its relation to physics straightened out is presented to physics students as…

  • Have we seen (strange) quark matter?

    Well the very idea that such a thing could exist, has been part of the evolving information I had been going through. To be lead to the understanding, of what new Physics would emerge fromm cosmological and collidial events. That there are indeed showers of particles with which such events will let us know cannot…

  • Nature in Analog Models

    Plato: “For everyone, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” Oh! how complete our world view would be, that I have moved quickly to the very question of all summations given. That while “visually” occupying the mind, we had been taken…
