Basis of Reality by Geometric Design?

Posted on May 6, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I would like to continually like to remind one of Plato’s cave. If the sun is behind us, how do you relate what is seen dimensionally, and describe it from first principles? The shadows are used in a way to … Continue reading →

Nodes and Anti-nodes

Posted on April 3, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Intuitively Balanced: Induction and Deduction

Posted on March 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

A VIEW OF MATHEMATICS Alain CONNES Most mathematicians adopt a pragmatic attitude and see themselves as the explorers of this mathematical world” whose existence they don’t have any wish to question, and whose structure they uncover by a mixture of … Continue reading →

Venn Logic and TA

Posted on January 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I always lke to inject a piece of my young child’s perspective, becuase it helps explain things a bit about “the neighborshood.” As we move through them. He asked me about the neighborhood that we were moving too, as if, … Continue reading →

Quantum Experiments and the Foundations of Physics

Posted on January 1, 2006 by PlatoHagel

For a more fundamental look at what I am looking for in guidance, follow this talk by Lubos. I most defintiely could be called a crackpot, but really, my heart and intentions are honourable and I will try to do … Continue reading →

What First principle was– was it the geometry

Posted on December 1, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I thought I would contrast this quote of Dirac’s with the one of Feynman’s. You see the very idea of a constancy that spread through all Maxwell’s equations was a necessary one which allowed Einstein to move into positive and … Continue reading →

Paul Dirac and Geometrical Thinking?

Posted on November 17, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Into the Antiworld was originally staged at CERN inside the underground cavern that houses the Delphi experiment, in which collisions between electrons and their antiparticles – positrons – are studied. That setting must have been awe-inspiring, particularly as the show … Continue reading →

Trademarks of the Geometer II

Posted on October 5, 2005 by PlatoHagel

John g, Lubos had some claim about Martian ancestry, but we know that he jests?:) So I do not want to use up to much more of Lubos’s blog for this conversation even though he pushes the envelope. Perhaps, you … Continue reading →

Dirac’s Hidden Geometries

Posted on September 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I find this interesting because I like to visualizze as much as possible, and I sometimes think the basis of the leading ideas in science would had to follow a progression. Klein’s Ordering of Geometries was one such road that … Continue reading →
