What First principle was– was it the geometry

Posted on December 1, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I thought I would contrast this quote of Dirac’s with the one of Feynman’s. You see the very idea of a constancy that spread through all Maxwell’s equations was a necessary one which allowed Einstein to move into positive and … Continue reading →

Foundations of Mathematic

Posted on November 28, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beautya beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable … Continue reading →

Aristotle and the Logic of the Natural World

Posted on November 26, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Aristotle’s logic, especially his theory of the syllogism, has had an unparalleled influence on the history of Western thought. It did not always hold this position: in the Hellenistic period, Stoic logic, and in particular the work of Chrysippus, was … Continue reading →

Music of the Spheres

Posted on November 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Strange Geometriesby Helen Joyce Both spherical and hyperbolic geometries are examples of curved geometries, unlike Euclidean geometry, which is flat. In spherical geometry, the curvature is positive, in hyperbolic geometry, it is negative. I thought I should add the “ascoustic … Continue reading →

Paul Dirac and Geometrical Thinking?

Posted on November 17, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Into the Antiworld was originally staged at CERN inside the underground cavern that houses the Delphi experiment, in which collisions between electrons and their antiparticles – positrons – are studied. That setting must have been awe-inspiring, particularly as the show … Continue reading →

Oh My God Particle-Revisited

Posted on November 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I just wanted to drop this link here for now. The animation shows schematically the behavior of the gas molecules in the presence of a gravitational field. We can see in this figure that the concentration of molecules at the … Continue reading →

From Experience to Metaphors on Cosmic Variance

Posted on November 5, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Most of you know who Alice is Right? Well Alice isa fictional story for those of you who don’t know, the story of the Looking Glass has become synonmous witha a photon’s flight into Young’s other side. I do not … Continue reading →

Onion Signatures

Posted on November 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Yes indeed, we seen where acoustic physics can be related at a fundamental level and be incorporated with the mathematics that some are very proficient at. That while poor ole me struggles, I look for the most direct route to … Continue reading →

Parallel lines to spherical and hyperbolic functions

Posted on October 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Like different musical instruments, different types of stars produce different types of sound waves. Small stars produce a sound with a higher pitch than bigger stars, just like the ‘piccolo’ produces a higher sound than the cello Did one ever … Continue reading →

Inverse Square Law, Sound

Posted on October 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Acoustic Physics Of course you must remember, that I was influence by the Triangle man, and the idea of sound valuation in the determinatins of how we see differently. While complex math is the desired result of all the efforts … Continue reading →
