What a Good String Theorist Should Know?
Arthur MillerEinstein and Schrödinger never fully accepted the highly abstract nature of Heisenberg’s quantum mechanics, says Miller. They agreed with Galileo’s assertion that “the book of nature is written in mathematics”, but they also realized the power of using visual imagery to represent mathematical symbols. I am a bit of a fanatic when it comes…

On Gauss’s Day of Reckoning
A famous story about the boy wonder of mathematics has taken on a life of its own –Brian Hayes Illustration by Theoni PappasIn a fanciful drawing done in the manner of a woodcut, the young Carl Friedrich Gauss receives instruction in arithmetic from the schoolmaster J. G. Büttner. As the story goes, Gauss was about…

Hyperbolic Geometry and it’s Rise
Omar Khayyám the mathematician(6 april 2006 Wikipedia) He was famous during his lifetime as a mathematician, well known for inventing the method of solving cubic equations by intersecting a parabola with a circle. Although his approach at achieving this had earlier been attempted by Menaechmus and others, Khayyám provided a generalization extending it to all…

On Gauss’s Mountain
You must understand that any corrections necessary are appreciated. The geometrical process spoken too here must be understood in it’s historical development to undertand, how one can see differently. Euclidean geometry, elementary geometry of two and three dimensions (plane and solid geometry), is based largely on the Elements of the Greek mathematician Euclid (fl. c.300…

More on Dual Nature of Blackhole
In some theories, microscopic black holes may be produced in particle collisions that occur when very-high-energy cosmic rays hit particles in our atmosphere. These mini-black-holes would decay into ordinary particles in a tiny fraction of a second and would be very difficult to observe in our atmosphere. The ATLAS Experiment offers the exciting possibility to…

KK Tower
Like many people who devote their time to understanding the nature of the cosmo and the micro perspective of the world around us, these things have their own motivational packages which move to further rquired comprehensions. In that, one needs to further educateas to what they are talking about. It’s definitiely not easy, but I…

Resonance: Brownian Motion
Now before I go into this I am thinking also if how “weathered effects and chaos” would have allowed quantum probability valuations (let’s say spintronic idealization to channel) to have been curtailed to a Professor crossing the room. Brane orientation and fermionic considerations held, while helping to orientate views further out in the bulk? This…

Art and Science
This is going to be quite the blog entry because as little a response might have been from Clifford’s links to artistic imagery and it’s relation to science. I definitely have more to say. So being short of time, the entries within this blog posting will seem disjointed, but believe me it will show a…

Big Ideas…..To String Theory
Plato said: yes to Gauss and gaussian coordinates, not forgetting, Saccheri, Bolyai and Lobschevasky along this lineage of geometers On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry So A continuation from this, and reference to important papers for consideration. I was actually looking for papers on S.S.Chern and I have been having difficulty…

On the Hypothese at the foundations of Geometry
I am trying to make my case on the greatest physics paper over at Cosmic Variance. One notices the slight misinterpretation I assigned, “geometical propensity to physics” that the case is more then just physi,s but the limmerack added envisioned, over such a paper that leads into physics.:) I see no difference now. So I…

Anomalistic Features of Gold Fish and Ant World?
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 records, museums, and whatever you like, to keep current for all us folks outside academia.…
