Models Change Perceptions

Posted on April 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“When the student is ready the Teacher appears“ Who said it first? Our attempt to justify our beliefs logically by giving reasons results in the “regress of reasons.” Since any reason can be further challenged, the regress of reasons threatens … Continue reading →

What a Good String Theorist Should Know?

Posted on April 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Strangelets Do Not Exist?

Posted on April 5, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I tried to follow the history as best I could, and the resulting worries earlier linked in extra links seen below, attest to the research that I followed. Can we safely say now, that strangelets do not exist? Quantum character … Continue reading →

The Singing Bowl

Posted on March 12, 2006 by PlatoHagel

One harmonious possibility is that string enthusiasts and loop quantum gravity aficionados are actually constructing the same theory, but from vastly different starting points-Page 490, Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene What would such gravitons in the bulk concentration … Continue reading →

Roots, and the Rings of History

Posted on February 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory … Continue reading →

Nature in Analog Models

Posted on February 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Plato: “For everyone, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” Oh! how complete our world view would be, that I have moved quickly to the very … Continue reading →

More on Dual Nature of Blackhole

Posted on February 21, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER

Posted on February 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) Some of the older, and not so old, when they hear “this title” above, do they think of Startrek’s exploits in space? As we were given “a view” of space travellers going from … Continue reading →
