Bridging the chasm between mathematics and human culture

Posted on August 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Thanks to Peter Woit for these kinds of links. As a lay person, to see this idea exemplified by such gatherings, closes the great divide. It is wonderful in a way, when one can see where these mathematics are really … Continue reading →

Dealing With a 5d World

Posted on July 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

A black hole is an object so massive that even light cannot escape from it. This requires the idea of a gravitational mass for a photon, which then allows the calculation of an escape energy for an object of that … Continue reading →

History of Gravity and the Equivalence Principle

Posted on July 29, 2005 by PlatoHagel

History rerun on bar ringings? That’s it: the bar is in place. Our word gravity and its more precise derivative gravitation come from the Latin word gravitas, from gravis (heavy), which in turn comes from a still more ancient root … Continue reading →

How the Natural World has Been Painted

Posted on July 29, 2005 by PlatoHagel

While some are intrigued by EM waves, I have a fascination for GW and the way we can portrait the natural world, we do not see. The sounds of gravitional waves are probably too low for us to actually hear. … Continue reading →

Lee Smolin’s Case for Background Independence

Posted on July 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

While we were privy to the debate between Susskind and Smolin in a previous post, the origins and definitions have been drawn from the deeper requirements of an ideology. Where do these begin, and we find the inner compulsion of … Continue reading →

Kilometric Radiation?

Posted on July 26, 2005 by PlatoHagel

So we use physics in ways to change the way we see? Here are some examles from the Cassini Project and Wikipedia. Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) is a direct sensing instrument that measures the energy … Continue reading →

Anomalistic Features of Gold Fish and Ant World?

Posted on July 3, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I was reading Mark Trodden’s blog called, “Orange Quark” for reading, and he pointed out the following article. In Praise of Hard Questions, by Tom Siegfried Geometric basis underlying science? I see this tendency of many to the Halls of … Continue reading →

Thematic Resolutions

Posted on June 21, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It is of course with some concern that any scientific mind, held to the established rules of his organizational, “motto of acceptance of the stringent rules of science” would allow such room, as to embue the human being with qualities … Continue reading →

New Spacetime Quantum World View?

Posted on June 18, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Of course the source of my statement about Penrose needed some clarification so I’ll put him here for reference. Those who had been following will also have know that the view of Gerard t’ hooft amazingly, asks the same question? … Continue reading →

Could "Chaos" have been Implied in the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator, as Supersymmetry?

Posted on June 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

See:Quantum Harmonic Oscillators Fortunately being the junior here in knowledge comprehension, the benefits, as of my having wrongly thought a certain way, allows “fantasy a great journey.” I have wondered, could I have ever attained such insights that would awaken … Continue reading →
