    “The worst disease afflicting human kind is hardening of the categories.” – Artist Bob Miller. Well I having been watching the topics ofCategorically Not site created. I see such fine visitations by those who have ventured into the science, asking for responsibility of mind in science, be given to society on a platform, as a…

  • Arthur Koestler and Creativity

    True creativity often starts where language ends. Arthur Koestler For those who engaged the issue of intuition, can we say that this is very close to what creativity is ,and the quote suplied above, is in essence. Is the mind, having come to a point on the Aristotlean arch, as, having fully understood, that work…

  • Quantum Mechanics: Determinism at Planck Scale

    Perhaps Quantum Gravity can be Handled by thoroughly reconsidering Quantum Mechanics itself?– Gerard t’ Hooft Albert Einstein used harmonic oscillators to understand specific heats of solids and found that energy levels are quantized. This formed one of the key bridges between classical and quantum mechanics. Can harmonic oscillators serve as a bridge between quantum mechanics…

  • Apollo Moon Measure

    Reference was made by Sean Carroll while he is up in Toronto lecturing. Georgi Dvali NYU’S Dvali Says Change in Laws of Gravity, Not ‘Dark Energy,’ Source of Cosmic Acceleration “This is the crucial difference between the dark energy and modified gravity hypothesis, since, by the former, no observable deviation is predicted at short distances,”…

  • Why Higher Energies?

    I guess I don’t have to tell anyone how confusing all this stuff is and the need for a consistent picture to arise out of it. New physics beyond the standard model of particle physics and parallel universes by Rainer Plaga top-quark masses – for which the standard model predicts such a decay – cannot…

  • Mendeleev’s Table in a New Light

    Taken From the Future, to the Note book HAL2001): No, I, Robot, this is not a bad physics joke. Cruelty, is dark and matter based. Heaven is colored more empheral? Rusty, the Tin Man: Cruelity/ideas arise in other ways. From “spaces created,” for which they can manifest? “I needed “a Heart,” and so too my…

  • Warm Dark Matter

    Having a global perspective using the cyclical model, seem to open some of the ideas about the nature and geometry of this universe as mentioned in article below. I have been watching since the earlier days of the jamming session on the train, where individuals who seem to get together, seem to produce this amazing…

  • The Lowest Octave State

    Sometimes simple concepts, like something representing the lowest vibration mode of the string, the lowest octave helps in a sense helps to orientate what the particles mean, such as protons,neutrons and electrons. Where they exist now as they cosmic collsions meet and dissapte it’s influence in our atmospheres, our planet. Yet Moshe speaking about sparticles…

  • Evidence for Extra Dimensions and IceCube

    …the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed. Albert Einstein Sometimes if we paid attention enough, the neurons seem to fire appropriately and the detachment of the ideas seemingly distant from one another, become illuminated and connected? Imagine…

  • Cosmic Rays Collisions and Strangelets Produced?

    I like to think of Enlightenment in another way Jaffe:) While we had focused our attention on the airs about the earth, how would it been possible for us earthlings to push back the limitations on on our views that we could have seen cosmological data in context of all that we do in the…

  • Quark Stars

    Quark stars signal unstable universe By William J. Cromie Gazette Staff In orbit around Earth, a satellite called the Chandra X-ray Observatory surveys the universe for sources of X-rays, which come from hot, active places. Such places include neutron stars, the still energetic corpses of burnt out stars once more massive than the Sun. When…
