  • Part of Facing the Trouble With Physics

    It might be that the laws change absolutely with time; that gravity for instance varies with time and that this inverse square law has a strength which depends on how long it is since the beginning of time. In other words, it’s possible that in the future we’ll have more understanding of everything and physics…

  • Window on the Universe

    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 excavation, we find wondrous hieroglyphics, strange tunnels and secret passageways. Every time we think we…

  • Science Mathmatically Endowed?

    Approaches to the Quantum Theory of Gravity by the PI Institute Two methods evolved in the theory of elementary particles to describe such quantized flux tubes. The one, called the loop method, studies them using the basic laws of electricity and magnetism, combined with quantum theory. The second, called string theory, postulates that the quantized…

  • Computer Language and Math Joined from Artistic Impressionism?

    Most people think of “seeing” and “observing” directly with their senses. But for physicists, these words refer to much more indirect measurements involving a train of theoretical logic by which we can interpret what is “seen.”- Lisa Randall Cubist Art: Picasso’s painting ‘Portrait of Dora Maar’Cubist art revolted against the restrictions that perspective imposed. Picasso’s…

  • Krauss Speaks, People React? :)

    We understand that Alice is just part of the developing perspective we have about interactions? THis is consistant with Glast, as well as any calormetrical understanding, from an interaction? That we had not explain the extra energy should still be held respective positions in mind if incoming and outcoming energy calculatins do not match? That…

  • Ideas on Quantum Interrogation

    We have chosen here to prepare a triplet of entangled particles of the GHZ type. The entanglement has been demonstrated by experiments performed in two orthogonal basis. The procedure can, in principle, operate on larger numbers of particles, opening the way to new fundamental tests of quantum theory. So I am deep in thought, and…

  • Has Speed of Light changed Recently?

    You have to remember I am not as well educated as the rest of the leaque connected at Peter Woit’s site. But how could one think anything less, then what perception can contribute, as less then what the educated mind might have thought of? If it did not have the scope enlisted by others in…

  • Rayleigh Scattering

    Over top of this whole post, I have wrapped it in context as if the fifth dimension. It is being expresed as part of a larger understanding of how such grvatons in their congergations might have been percieved? Yet Lubos cautions this perspective. I don’t understand why.

  • Xtra dimensions

    In the Beginning….. The field of cosmology has experienced an explosion of activity since the discovery of ripples in the energy of the primordial light of the big bang. Cosmology is the study of the origin, evolution, and fate of objects in the observable universe. These include galaxies like our Milky Way, a vast collection…

  • From Experience to Metaphors on Cosmic Variance

    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 think I am held in to high a esteem, although my work and struggle has…

  • Tall Tales and Sailing Ships

    I am a photon, and my name is “Christopher Columbus.” Like Plato, I have taken a great adventure into the “world of possibilties” that not only encompassed the scope of man’s thinking in terms of horizons, but I enlist these same minds to venture into the inclinations of a “ship that follows a global perspective.”…
