So string theory is, among many other things, a theory of gravity!

Posted on March 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Daniel Kabat A picture of flux lines in QED (left) and QCD (right). Although it didn’t properly describe strong interactions, in studying string theory physicists stumbled upon an amazing mathematical structure. String theory has turned out to be far richer … Continue reading →

Brane New World

Posted on March 3, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If some thought is beyond comprehensible to engage string theory and come away with some simple statement about it, imagine if we are taken to the new heights that Brane New World might implicate. But first, having understood something about … Continue reading →

Missing Energy Events

Posted on March 1, 2005 by PlatoHagel

‘There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries have involved such a leap. The important thing is not to stop questioning.’ Albert Einstein(1879- 1955) … Continue reading →

Nothingness?

Posted on February 28, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If you assume something always had to exist, then to me, this statement of nothingness is quite puzzling to me. The most surprising difference for the quantum case is the so-called zero-point vibration” of the n=0 ground state. This implies … Continue reading →

Timeline

Posted on February 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

There are reasons for this theme, that I thought most appropriate to the discussion of illusion and miracles. In the thread previous to this one, a concept is put forward by Arkani-Hamed that focuses on the issue of the timeline … Continue reading →

Where is Gravity Stronger?

Posted on February 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If one were to ask where this energy came from, would such a weak gravitonic scale lead us to stronger inidcations of the energies presence and becomes a trail leading us to it’s source? What would gravity mean, if it … Continue reading →

The Arrow of Time

Posted on February 15, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius There is but one kind of entropy change. Entropy change is due to energy dispersal to, from, or within a system (as a function of temperature.), measured by microstate change: S = kB ln [microstates final … Continue reading →

What Pattern Emerges?

Posted on February 12, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Problem solvers have a way of getting to the heart of the issues, and unfortunately when ones engages competent minds like Peter Woit in the world? Whose sign post is,”anti-string with no explanation“? This is simple in the minds of … Continue reading →

When Gravity Becomes Strong……

Posted on February 8, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The value of non-Euclidean geometry lies in its ability to liberate us from preconceived ideas in preparation for the time when exploration of physical laws might demand some geometry other than the Euclidean. Bernhard Riemann It is very important that … Continue reading →

Time and Gravity

Posted on February 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Einstein wrote >”…for us physicists believe the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one.” After being changed by assuming the views of string theory, something happened in my perspective about understanding the dimensional … Continue reading →
