Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam

Posted on September 26, 2011 by PlatoHagel

We know already why the neutrinos could go faster and what new experiments this suggests, why it does not imply time travel or violates causality, and why it is somewhat expected for neutrinos. Now let us focus on what kind … Continue reading →

Space Travel and Propulsion Methods

Posted on June 5, 2011 by PlatoHagel

As a layman, my interest has been mainly focused on gravity and a means to defy it. How one can see in different ways. The Lagrange Points In the above contour plot we see that L4 and L5 correspond to … Continue reading →

The Cross Over Point and Time Travel

Posted on May 16, 2009 by PlatoHagel

One of the issues that is evoked by any faster-than-light transport is time paradoxes: causality violations and implications of time travel. As if the faster than light issue wasn’t tough enough, it is possible to construct elaborate scenarios where faster-than-light … Continue reading →

Oh Dear!… How Technology has Changed Things

Posted on February 21, 2009 by PlatoHagel

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beautya beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable … Continue reading →

Images of Super-Kamiokande events from tscan

Posted on April 1, 2008 by PlatoHagel

The Navier-Stokes equations are also of great interest in a purely mathematical sense. Somewhat surprisingly, given their wide range of practical uses, mathematicians have yet to prove that in three dimensions solutions always exist (existence), or that if they do … Continue reading →
