The String Saga of Star Shine?

Posted on October 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

So lets say that the universe has always existed? Imagine approximately 13 billion years as a length of time measured? The Distant Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 050904. Image credit: ESO Mon, 12 Sep 2005 – An Italian team of astronomers have … Continue reading →

Part of Facing the Trouble With Physics

Posted on October 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

It might be that the laws change absolutely with time; that gravity for instance varies with time and that this inverse square law has a strength which depends on how long it is since the beginning of time. In other … Continue reading →

What is Natural?

Posted on September 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Fig. 2. Image showing how an 8 TeV black hole might look in the ATLAS detector (with the caveat that there are still uncertainties in the theoretical calculations). The question I would pose to those who do not have the … Continue reading →

Window on the Universe

Posted on September 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Michio Kaku: I like to compare it to wandering in the desert, and stumbling over a tiny pebble. When we push away the sand, we find that this “pebble” is actually the tip of a gargantuan pyramid. After years of … Continue reading →

Now, here is a SuperNova for Real

Posted on September 1, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The Crab Nebula from VLT Credit: FORS Team, 8.2-meter VLT, ESO Now the “ultimate proof” is to hold in our hands the matters defined by objects. This is the culmination of all dimensional perspectives, being “condensed to the moment” we … Continue reading →

Gamma Ray Detection and Early Universe?

Posted on August 28, 2006 by PlatoHagel

How have our views been changed with regards to the “Window on the Universe?” High energy photons engaged with gluonic perceptions perhaps? MAGIC is an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope or IACT that has started measuring since the commissioning ended in … Continue reading →

At What "Point" does the Universe Make itself Known?

Posted on August 12, 2006 by PlatoHagel

According to the basic laws of physics, every wavelength of electromagnetic radiation corresponds to a specific amount of energy. The NIST/ILL team determined the value for energy in the Einstein equation, E = mc2, by carefully measuring the wavelength of … Continue reading →

Early Universe Formation

Posted on June 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

An Energy of Empty Space? Einstein was the first person to realize that empty space is not nothingness. Space has amazing properties, many of which are just beginning to be understood. The first property of space that Einstein discovered is … Continue reading →

High Energy Particle Creations: PLacing the Universe into Perspective?

Posted on June 9, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“String theory and other possibilities can distort the relative numbers of ‘down’ and ‘up’ neutrinos,” said Jonathan Feng, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UC Irvine. “For example, extra dimensions may cause neutrinos to create microscopic … Continue reading →
