  • Intersection of D Branes

    I’m not going to try and kid you with “this stuff,” as it is extremely beyond anything that any of us mere mortal can understand. So, if such a thought would be to simplify, then how would such thinking be attributed to such model building and make it easier for us lay people to comprehend…

  • The Blackhole as a Superfluid: It’s Viscosity

    Now you must understand that thinking of any first principle is hard to refrain from, especially, if one had thought like I do, that the geometrical tendencies are inherent in the way this is handled, and that it leads to other things? “The equations of relativity fail, and new laws emerge.” saids George Musser. ”…

  • Laying the Foundation with Respect

    It is most certain that at this point the public would have been left behind, so is there a way to bring perspective at this point on where you are now? I recognize the generalization and roads that lead to blackhole as a basis for considerations. What would draw ones atyemtion to this horizon. Lee…

  • What are those Quantum Microstates

    Now two points occupy my mind that hold questions as to what and how such counting can be done in terms of geometric propensity, that would allow these geometries into topological states. First point is: Lubos Motl said: We need to get closer to the “theory of everything”, regardless of the question whether the destination…

  • Entanglement Interpretation of Black Hole Entropy

    “Entanglement entropy” is the latest article posted by Lubos Motl. From this ideas are brought back for consideration, with Nigel and myself in trying to explain. I am not to swift sometimes in my explanations, so the inudation of links here direct underscore the probabilistic valuation one might assign perspective in relation to the topic…

  • The Fifth Dimension, is the Spacetime Fabric

    Perhaps Quantum Gravity can be Handled by thoroughly reconsidering Quantum Mechanics itself? by Gerard t’ Hooft I was attracted to Nigel Cook’s statement on Peter Woits blog entitled, “Panel Discussion Video” by the quote of his taken here below. What immediately struck my mind, was the Bekenstein Bound and how “temperature” would have been seen…

  • Dealing With a 5d World

    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 mass. When the escape energy is equal to the photon energy, the implication is that…

  • Why No New Einstein

    To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.. -Plato, The Republic (Book VII) The inference of dimensional attributes scares many good minds away from the matters at hand?:) Lubos Motl: The only truly open questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics are those that also require us…

  • Microstates and Gravity

    Strominger: That was the problem we had to solve. In order to count microstates, you need a microscopic theory. Boltzmann had one–the theory of molecules. We needed a microscopic theory for black holes that had to have three characteristics: One, it had to include quantum mechanics. Two, it obviously had to include gravity, because black…

  • Blaise Pascal

    Blaise Pascal (June 19, 1623 – August 19, 1662) Born in Clermont-Ferrand (France), the young Pascal was introduced to mathematics and physics by his father. So precocious was his talent in these disciplines that he published his innovative Essai pour les coniques [Essay on conics] in 1632, at only sixteen. In 1631, he moved to…

  • The Dark Side of Extra Dimensions

    “The Dark Side of Extra Dimensions” is a two-day workshop to be held at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS), Banff, Alberta, Canada, May 12-14, 2005 (organized by Valeri Frolov, Don Page, and Andrei Zelnikov, Theoretical Physics Institute, Department of Physics of the University of Alberta). At this workshop we hope to cover such topics…
