The State of Fear

Posted on December 16, 2009 by PlatoHagel

It is one of those things I guess,  as you get older you completely forget part of one’s thinking process that was started,  and never really went anywhere. Until that is, it is “awakened again” for introspection. So if you … Continue reading →

Do You Think This Cloud Experiment is Important?

Posted on December 15, 2009 by PlatoHagel

“The aim of CLOUD is to understand whether or not cosmic rays can affect clouds and climate, by studying the microphysical interactions of cosmic rays with aerosols, cloud droplets and ice particles.” This is one of the possible mechanisms for … Continue reading →

Cascading Showers from the Cosmos

Posted on September 8, 2007 by PlatoHagel

3) It is claimed that cosmic rays can energy exceeding that of colliders, and they have not caused trouble, suggesting that colliders will not cause trouble either. However, the analogy is not precise. It assumes two things that may not … Continue reading →

NASA’s Hubble Telescope Celebrates SN 1987A’s 20th Anniversary

Posted on February 24, 2007 by PlatoHagel

A String of ‘Cosmic Pearls’ Surrounds an Exploding Star-NASA, ESA, P. Challis, and R. Kirshner (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) Twenty years ago, astronomers witnessed one of the brightest stellar explosions in more than 400 years. The titanic supernova, called SN … Continue reading →

How We Now See the Universe

Posted on February 15, 2007 by PlatoHagel

So on the one hand you know that there are higher energies with which you can contend with as you look above toward the cosmos. While on earth, our ability to discern the nature of, is limited by by that … Continue reading →

Radiactive Decay

Posted on January 20, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Unit Circle Complex numbers can be identified with points in the Euclidean plane, namely the number a + bi is identified with the point (a, b). Under this identification, the unit circle is a group under multiplication, called the circle … Continue reading →

Collider Detector at Fermilab and Slac

Posted on January 19, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Current evidence shows that neutrinos do oscillate, which indicates that neutrinos do have mass. The Los Alamos data revealed a muon anti-neutrino cross over to an electron neutrino. This type of oscillation is difficult to explain using only the three … Continue reading →

The Geometrics Behind the Supernova and it’s History

Posted on December 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

It is not always easy for people to see what lies behind the wonderful beauty of images that we take from the satellite measures of space, and it’s dynamical events illustrated in Cassiopeia A. There before you is this majestic … Continue reading →

Cosmic ray spallation

Posted on December 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As this NASA chart indicates, 70 percent or more of the universe consists of dark energy, about which we know next to nothing Other explanations of dark energy, called “quintessence,” originate from theoretical high-energy physics. In addition to baryons, photons, … Continue reading →
