Is Line , Hook and Sinker, Dimensionally Leading to Soul Food?

Oskar Klein (left) proposed in the 1920s that hidden spatial dimensions might influence observed physics. He poses with physicists George Uhlenbeck (middle) and Samuel Goudsmit in 1926 at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands. AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives I … Continue reading

There was Light

Maxwell’s equations are also about half an inch long. For example, Maxwell’s equations say that the “four-dimensional divergence of an antisymmetric, second-rank tensor equals zero.” That’s Maxwell’s equations, the equations for light. And in fact, at Berkeley, you can buy … Continue reading

A Quantum-Mechanical Discription of Gravity

I do not know how much more generalized these views could have become from those who now look to what the physicists and theoreticians are doing in their questions for explaining the nature of the reality we are encountering. If … Continue reading

Mass Transfer to Blackhole

This image is very strong in mind as I read Smolins discriptions of the thing?:) Consider any physical system, made of anything at all- let us call it, The Thing. We require only that The Thing can be enclosed within … Continue reading

Holography and Dimensional Relevance

Holography encodes the information in a region of space onto a surface one dimension lower. It sees to be the property of gravity, as is shown by the fact that the area of th event horizon measures the number of … Continue reading

Quantum Gravity Models

PLato saids,”Look to the perfection of the heavens for truth,” while Aristotle saids “look around you at what is if you would know the truth” Quantum Gravity I guess we have a choice here? Between the models of what would … Continue reading

Plato’s Cave and Heisenberg, 21st Century with Witten

Breaking Symmetry Here I sit in Brane world and the idea of “Pants” reaching different dimenisons seems intrigueing to me. Far beyond the views that one see from the light shining, from the open mouth of the cave, some far … Continue reading

The Sound of Gravitational Waves

Lets say that there was this challenge between the fixations of matter defined states and the Pythagorean values of sound. Have we identified the two camps exploring quantum gravity? We can’t actually hear gravational waves, even with the most sophisticated … Continue reading

5th Dimensional Field Equations

http://www.tech.port.ac.uk/staffweb/seahras/images/Kaluza.jpeg In 1919, Kaluza sent Albert Einstein a preprint — later published in 1921 — that considered the extension of general relativity to five dimensions. He assumed that the 5-dimensional field equations were simply the higher-dimensional version of the vacuum … Continue reading
