Gravity Experiments

Posted on March 8, 2007 by PlatoHagel

No matter how absurd? :) From a early age, young Albert showed great interest in the world around him. When he was five years old, his father gave him a compass, and the child was enchanted by the device and … Continue reading →

Angels and Demons on a Pinhead

Posted on February 7, 2007 by PlatoHagel

“Observations always involve theory.”Edwin Hubble Curvature Parameters Of course I had to point to the cosmological understanding that took us to this “geometrical understanding of things that are large.” But this is to be short, while I crunch the thoughts … Continue reading →

No Extra Dimensions Yet?

Posted on January 19, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Turning back to gravity, the extra-dimensions model stems from theoretical research into (mem)brane theories, the multidimensional successors to string theories (April 1999 p13). One remarkable property of these models is that they show that it is quite natural and consistent … Continue reading →

Newton’s inverse-square (1/r2) law

Posted on January 16, 2007 by PlatoHagel

The standard model of particle physics is a self-contained picture of fundamental particles and their interactions. Physicists, on a journey from solid matter to quarks and gluons, via atoms and nuclear matter, may have reached the foundation level of fields … Continue reading →

Gravity Free Environment on Earth

Posted on January 14, 2007 by PlatoHagel

It’s taken some time from a layman perspective to try and “place this experiment” in a setting that helps orientate views. Well, at least in my case. :) So here is a “guide below” that may seem trivial to some, … Continue reading →

Clock Work Universe

Posted on January 12, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Fig 1.4 A two-dimensional coordinate system can be used to locate the position of any point in terms of its x- and y-coordinates Figure 1.4 shows the two-dimensional case, with a grid extending over part of the page. The grid … Continue reading →

Hubble Maps the Cosmic Web of "Clumpy" Dark Matter in 3-D

Posted on January 8, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Three-Dimensional Distribution of Dark Matter in the Universe This three-dimensional map offers a first look at the web-like large-scale distribution of dark matter, an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the universe’s mass. This milestone takes astronomers … Continue reading →

Images or Numbers By Themself

Posted on January 6, 2007 by PlatoHagel

“Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the mind will never penetrate” (cited by Ivars Peterson … Continue reading →

Symmetries Can be Chaotically Complex

Posted on January 1, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Imagine in an “action of a kind” you start off from one place. A photon travelling through a slit of Thomas Young’s, to get through “a world” to the other side. Sounds like some fairy tale doesn’t it? Yet, “the … Continue reading →

N category and the Hydrogen spectrum

Posted on December 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Picture of the 1913 Bohr model of the atom showing the Balmer transition from n=3 to n=2. The electronic orbitals (shown as dashed black circles) are drawn to scale, with 1 inch = 1 Angstrom; note that the radius of … Continue reading →
