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 →

BigFoot: The Anomalistic Reality?

Posted on August 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The explanation of scientific development in terms of paradigms was not only novel but radical too, insofar as it gives a naturalistic explanation of belief-change. Thomas Kuhn <a href="http://eskesthai.blogspot.com/2006/03/professors-fate-or-encouragement-to.html&quot; target=_BLank title="Frame from the footage filmed by Roger Patterson in October … Continue reading →

Laughlin, Reductionism, Emergence

Posted on December 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I am still operating from the idea of Xtra-Dimensions. What motivating force would have brought such a quantum gravity group together and the aspect it might have spoken from? What mysterious forces motivates all these ladies/ gentlemen? Everyone knows that … Continue reading →

Timaeus:Laying the Ground rules on Genesis

Posted on November 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

You all know that you each have a respective hand on the elephant, and thsoe who would contribute their qunatum mathematics are new comers to what had already existed. As the craftsman Plato, I created the elephant in the thought … Continue reading →

Einstein’s Bubble

Posted on April 5, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If we wanted to understand this motivation and analogy using Einstein’s bubble, how could we move this motivation to consider it’s first expression, lies wihtin the bath of possibilties? One needed to see this physics process in its whole harmonious … Continue reading →

Is Everyone Declaring their Position Clearly?

Posted on January 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

“Most string theorists are very arrogant,” says Seiberg with a smile. “If there is something [beyond string theory], we will call it string theory.” I am going to comment on Peter Woit’s reference to the article called String Fellows he … Continue reading →

Quantum Geometry

Posted on December 9, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl I … Continue reading →

The Six Men and the Elephant

Posted on November 25, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I’d like to embrace all those who are attempting to speak in regards to quantum gravity. This is a common poem, that reflects the efforts and differing perspectives at trying to descibe a world that is very much in the … Continue reading →
