The New Garden of Eden

Posted on August 19, 2008 by PlatoHagel

Is it more astonishing that a God created all that exists in six days, or that the natural processes of the creative universe have yielded galaxies, chemistry, life, agency, meaning, value, consciousness, culture without a Creator. In my mind and … Continue reading →

The Effect of Cosmic Particle Collisions

Posted on February 23, 2008 by PlatoHagel

How many with holding views of Climate Change have ever considered Earth’s place in the cosmos and it’s affects created from cosmic particle collisions from space? So this post is to help illuminate the subject a bit with past information … Continue reading →

"Lego Block" Galaxies in Early Universe

Posted on December 31, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Witten: One thing I can tell you, though, is that most string theorist’s suspect that spacetime is a emergent Phenomena in the language of condensed matter physics. n this image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, several objects are identified … Continue reading →

Light and Matter United

Posted on February 23, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Murray Gellman: On Plectics It is appropriate that plectics refers to entanglement or the lack thereof, since entanglement is a key feature of the way complexity arises out of simplicity, making our subject worth studying. I was talking about some … Continue reading →

The Perfect Sphere

Posted on February 20, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Before I begin I had to mention the following two entries below that I wanted to do but was short on time. This recording was produced by converting into audible sounds some of the radar echoes received by Huygens during … Continue reading →

Gravity Free Environment on Earth

Posted on January 14, 2007 by PlatoHagel

It’s taken some time from a layman perspective to try and “place this experiment” in a setting that helps orientate views. Well, at least in my case. 🙂 So here is a “guide below” that may seem trivial to some, … Continue reading →

Against Symmetry

Posted on December 14, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The term “symmetry” derives from the Greek words sun (meaning ‘with’ or ‘together’) and metron (‘measure’), yielding summetria, and originally indicated a relation of commensurability (such is the meaning codified in Euclid’s Elements for example). It quickly acquired a further, … Continue reading →

"Lead by Physics," Faces the "Trouble With Physics"

Posted on October 15, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what … Continue reading →
