Hubble Maps the Cosmic Web of "Clumpy" Dark Matter in 3-D

Posted on January 8, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Three-Dimensional Distribution of Dark Matter in the Universe This three-dimensional map offers a first look at the web-like large-scale distribution of dark matter, an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the universe’s mass. This milestone takes astronomers … Continue reading →

The Sun’s Before Us

Posted on January 2, 2007 by PlatoHagel

The Cosmic Ray of Creation We are “shadows” of the Sun’s creations. Sometimes it good to go back to “the beginning” so that one can see the context of what exists in reality, has a much “greater story to tell” … Continue reading →

Symmetries Can be Chaotically Complex

Posted on January 1, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Imagine in an “action of a kind” you start off from one place. A photon travelling through a slit of Thomas Young’s, to get through “a world” to the other side. Sounds like some fairy tale doesn’t it? Yet, “the … Continue reading →

Wolf-Rayet star

Posted on December 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

While I have started off with the definition of the Wolf-Rayet star, the post ends in understanding the aspects of gravity and it’s affects, as we look at what has become of these Wolf-Rayet stars in their desimination of it’s … Continue reading →

Hubble Finds Evidence for Dark Energy in the Young Universe

Posted on December 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I had to go back to the article for some further reading. These snapshots, taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, reveal five supernovae, or exploding stars, and their host galaxies. The arrows in the top row of images point to … 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 →

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 →

Liminocentric Structure and Wholeness

Posted on December 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

What is a Medicine Wheel? The term “medicine wheel” was first applied to the Big Horn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming, the most southern one known. That site consists of a central cairn or rock pile surrounded by a circle of … Continue reading →
