  • Explanation on the Landscape

    Photograph by Clifford Johnson While on Cosmic Invariance, Clifford brings a much needed attempt at explanation on how we view the landscape. I’ll have to spend sometime going over this becuase it is a critical position and difference between two facets of thinking within the scientific community. Susskind and Lee Smolin have lead this discussion…

  • How the Natural World has Been Painted

    While some are intrigued by EM waves, I have a fascination for GW and the way we can portrait the natural world, we do not see. The sounds of gravitional waves are probably too low for us to actually hear. However, the signals that scientists hope to measure with LISA and other gravitational wave detectors…

  • B Field Manifestations

    Ah what the heck……I’ll bite….let the skeptics converge in a harmonic convergence:) Nigel Hitching Sylvester Surfaces and the B field? Are you a “gold fish” or a “Ant world person?” Are you a pigeon? Have you sent your vision into the things of nature, to explore it’s potential in other ways? Figure 2. Clebsch’s Diagonal…

  • Gravity Leakage: Energy Accounted for in LHC Predictions?

    If people were going to do test runs and predictions, how would they fair before the process is up and running? Lubos Motl: What does he say about the cosmological constant? Well, it does not exist. The accelerating expansion of the Universe is, Dvali argues, due to a “leak of gravitational force” into extra dimensions…

  • Search for Extra-dimensions with ATLAS at the LHC: The Lions Den

    I have often wonder whether or not my opinions about left and right aspect battling in society, are right?:) Peter Woit saids string theory is right wing financed? I hate to dread that media has been perversive enough in order to support political factions affecting science? So I’ll tell you how affected I have become…

  • A recipe for making strings in the lab

    All you educated people must forgive me here. I do not have the benefit, of the student and teacher relationship, yet I rely heavily on my intuitive processes. I cannot say whether for sure these are always right. IN this sense, I would not have been liked to call a Liar, or one who had…

  • The Calorimetric View?

    The Title, might seem somewhat strange, but a issue has developed for me that I see raised in the scourge of other intellectuals, who disavow the extra dimension scenario. So you have this view and you have this idea of missing energy? Where did it go and where did it come from? Pierre Auger linked…

  • Raychaudhuri Equation

    Is it sand running through our fingers, or a taffy like substance, in symbolic form? The difference, discretium and fluidity of nature, geometrically/topologically driven, are at war with what we might interpret in time? Early on, Salvador Dali understood well this geometrical propensity to the tesserack, that he embued his art with higher religious context(time).…

  • Quantum Jitter

    When you look at the spacetime fabric the cosmological views makes it nice and neat for us, when we are tryng to comprehend the ripples and waves that are generated. So how, you might ask, can multiple strings make up a proton if each has a mass of ten billion billion times that of a…

  • Supersymmetry

    There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world. — Nikolai Lobachevsky John Ellis: Extensions of the Standard Model often contain more discriminatory parameters, and this is certainly true of supersymmetry, my personal favourite candidate for new physics beyond the Standard Model. One…

  • Testing Theoretical Ideas of Extra Dimensions

    “Yet I exist in the hope that these memoirs, in some manner, I know not how, may find their way to the minds of humanity in Some Dimensionality, and may stir up a race of rebels who shall refuse to be confined to limited Dimensionality.” from Flatland, by E. A. Abbott Leaking Gravity May Explain…
