  • Another Kind of Sideways

     I wanted to expand on where the title,”Another Kind of Sideways.” This blog posting  came from an interview with Clifford of Asymptotia by PBS. He had a posting of his own entitled Multiverse Musings about a Nova series on PBS in the Fall related to Brian Greene’s book, The Fabric of the Cosmos. Where would…

  • It’s Lowest Energy State….Matter Formed?

    Shape as Memory : A Geometric Theory of Architecture also The structure of paintings     I just wanted to lay out a perspective in relation to how one might describe the engine in relation to the design of the exhaust system as supportive of the whole frame of reference as the engine. The pipe…

  • Shape as Memory : A Geometric Theory of Architecture

    I have yet to read the book. What came to mind as I was looking at this has to do with the landscape of ideas. It has to do with what is lying in those valleys. This may supply some understanding of how something can evolve from symmetry, as an expression of asymmetry geometrical objects.…

  • Coffee and Donut?

    A continuous deformation (homeomorphism) of a coffee cup into a doughnut (torus) and back. Similarly, the hairy ball theorem of algebraic topology says that “one cannot comb the hair flat on a hairy ball without creating a cowlick.” *** This fact is immediately convincing to most people, even though they might not recognize the more…

  • Artifacts in the Exploration of Geometry

    Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK It should not be lost on individuals who have followed this blog, that there is a range of connection to Platonic Forms idealization, that such an artifact in Ashmolean Museum although modeled to represent a reality and constituent forming basis, it is by this choice,  that I exercised a” foundational attitude” …

  • Tipping LightCones and the Escape Velocity of a Photon

    “Black Hole” by Tamsin van Essen Also see: Tamsin van Essen-Ceramic Design Wonderful and creative thinking to what remains a mystery to a lot of people who do not ever get to see what cancer looks like or what it can do to one’s family. This physical process, and the creative representation is a very…

  • The Landscape Again and again….

    Of course I am not qualified to have an opinion about whether the landscape is of value or not. That there are people on two sides that have differing opinions, and based on what they have as proof to the contrary, of one or another, is whether the issue is ready for a forgone conclusion?…

  • Are there Patterns to Life?

    Its grandness, goodness, beauty and perfection are unexcelled. Our one universe, indeed, the only one of its kind, has come to be.Timaeus concludes I was just thinking about the idea of being a mathematical structure, and having been made aware of Max Tegmark, it drew me back to the idea of the “soccer ball universe.”…

  • The Cosmic Landscape

    I noticed a few blogs mentioning the landscape. Asymptotia(Clifford Johnson), The Reference Frame(Lubos Motl), and Not Even Wrong (Peter Woit’s) blog. The Cosmic Landscape:String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design by Leonard Susskind After reading Susskind’s book in regards to the landscape issue, I was intrigued by the First Three Microseconds previous as it…

  • The CrossOver Point within the Perfect Fluid?

    I had been following this research because of what I had been trying to understand when we take our understanding down to a certain level. That level is within the context of us probing the collision process for evidence of “some new physics” that we had not seen before. Evidence for Neutrino Oscillations from the…

  • Nurturing Creativity

    See here and here It looks as if moderation, or maybe technical problems, has set in for me at Cosmic Variance. So I have to go from the last statement made there by Lee that I was allowed to contribute. To continue with the points I am making. I was glad to see Jacques was…
