Spacetime 101

Posted on January 24, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Here’s some basic background covering how mathematical models of space and time have evolved since ancient times, from the Pythagorean Rule to Newtonian mechanics, Special Relativity and General Relativity. For the roads leading to one’s view of the strange world … Continue reading →

Hyperspace

Posted on January 24, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Science is that human activity in which we aim to show towards nature that respect that in a democracy we endeavor to show towards each other.” There is no doubt my views are biased. For all the wrong reasons I … Continue reading →

Michael Atiyah and the Geometry

Posted on January 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Michael Atiyah: At this point in the development, although geometry provided a common framework for all the forces, there was still no way to complete the unification by combining quantum theory and general relativity. Since quantum theory deals with the … Continue reading →

The Blackhole as a Superfluid: It’s Viscosity

Posted on January 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

KK Tower

Posted on January 5, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Wave Function and Summing over Histories

Posted on December 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Presence and Entanglement

Posted on December 28, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The equivalence principle(29 DEcember 2005 Wiki) The accuracy of the gamma-ray measurements was typically 1%. The blueshift of a falling photon can be found by assuming it has an equivalent mass based on its frequency E = hf (where h … Continue reading →

Tiny Bubbles

Posted on December 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

AS a child, Einsten when given the gift of the compass, immediately reocgnized the mystery in nature? If such a impression could have instigated the work that had unfolded over timein regards to Relativity, then what work could have ever … Continue reading →
