Megalithic carved stone balls from Scotland

Posted on December 1, 2006 by PlatoHagel

With the discovery of sound waves in the CMB, we have entered a new era of precision cosmology in which we can begin to talk with certainty about the origin of structure and the content of matter and energy in … Continue reading →

Tunnelling in Faster then Light

Posted on November 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Underneath this speculation of mine is the geometrical inclination of the universe in expression. If it’s “dynamical nature is revealed” what allows us to think of why this universe at this time and junction, should be flat(?) according to the … Continue reading →

Three Ring Circus: Dark Energy

Posted on November 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“Observations always involve theory.”Edwin Hubble Hopefully some day, I will be accepted as a student of this universe, and it’s intrigue? Sometimes it is necessary to understand that having come to different consclusion about the geometry of this universe that … Continue reading →

Lisa Randall on Xtra Dimensions

Posted on November 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In physics, Randall-Sundrum models imagine that the real world is a higher-dimensional Universe described by warped geometry. More concretely, our Universe is a five-dimensional anti de Sitter space and the elementary particles except for the graviton are localized on a … Continue reading →

Back to the Beginning of Time

Posted on November 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

While some of us who had been engaged in a little prehistory examination of earliest QGP states as glast determination of high energy photons, the question, “to Be or not to be,” how could we not ask what Professor Susskind … Continue reading →

Understanding the Tonal

Posted on November 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Sir Isaac Newton So, you have your units, and the powers of ten? Distances shorter than 1 µm 1 micrometre (micron)Items with lengths between 1-10 µm (microns)1.55 µm — wavelength of light used in optical fibre6 µm — anthrax spore6-8 … Continue reading →

Central Theme is the Sun

Posted on October 19, 2006 by PlatoHagel

A lot of times people do not understand the effects something can have and after we see these effects, we wonder how did we ever miss the importance of what layed underneath this process in Physics. Richard Feynman-Dancing With Neutrinos-Nova … Continue reading →

Why do physicists want to study particles?

Posted on September 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

A few “cosmic rays” pass through our body every second of every day, regardless of where we are. They consist of particles created when high energy atomic nuclei (mainly protons) coming from outer space collide with the atoms at the … Continue reading →

Gravitational Wave Detectors are Best Described as "Sounds."

Posted on August 21, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Weber developed an experiment using a large suspended bar of aluminum, with a high resonant Q at a frequency of about 1 kH; the oscillation of the bar after it had been excited could be measured by a series of … Continue reading →

What is the False Vacuum?

Posted on July 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Quantum Field Theory Quantum Vacuum: In classical physics, empty space is called the vacuum. The classical vacuum is utterly featureless. However, in quantum theory, the vacuum is a much more complex entity. The uncertainty principle allows virtual particles (each corresponding … Continue reading →
