Allotropes and the Ray of Creation

Posted on September 19, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Just thinking here about “life” in general and dreaming. As well, this takes us back to the article from Backreaction. This post was generated in response to Q’s comment and my subsequent statements that I supplied in turn. Take “full … Continue reading →

Coxeter and Plato’s Cave

Posted on September 12, 2006 by PlatoHagel

IN Beyond the Dance of the Sun I give an image of Plato’s Cave for consideration, about dimensinal perspectve. This is not only held in my mind in terms of what free people are chained in their perspectives, but I … Continue reading →

Donald Coxeter: The Man Who Saved Geometry

Posted on September 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“I’m a Platonist — a follower of Plato — who believes that one didn’t invent these sorts of things, that one discovers them. In a sense, all these mathematical facts are right there waiting to be discovered.”Harold Scott Macdonald (H. … 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 →

Quantum Hall Effect

Posted on September 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

This article below was set in motion by Stefan’s article,”Pencils, Black Holes, and the Klein Paradox”, at Backreaction. B will have to offer her perspective on the blackhole analogy. I offer mine.:) The fractional quantum Hall effect continues to be … Continue reading →

Undercut Philosophical basis , "What have you?"

Posted on September 6, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In “Beyond the dance of the sun” I show what we take for granted from a “observational standpoint,” and try to increase perception, based on the quantum views. Is mathematics Invented or Discovered? “Philosophy In The Flesh” LAKOFF: When you … Continue reading →

Numerical Relativity and Math Transference

Posted on August 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Part of the advantage of looking at computer animations is knowing that the basis of this vision that is being created, is based on computerized methods and codes, devised, to help us see what Einstein’s equations imply. Now that’s part … Continue reading →

# 184 Metamorphosis

Posted on August 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“A Nuance” can be a compelling thing for the soul as it seeks to understand why something has caught it’s attention. IN that case, I pointed out the relation to Einstein’s “early life” and the compass as an example. IN … Continue reading →

Singularities must be Rewritten?

Posted on July 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

From Dr. Kip Thorne, Caltech 01 On Relativity-Plate 24 I have given examples why the singularities have to be rewritten. I explain the value of the KK Tower as well. As well, it’s relationship to curvature of the universe. Following … Continue reading →
