Wolf-Rayet star

Posted on December 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

While I have started off with the definition of the Wolf-Rayet star, the post ends in understanding the aspects of gravity and it’s affects, as we look at what has become of these Wolf-Rayet stars in their desimination of it’s … Continue reading →

Hubble Finds Evidence for Dark Energy in the Young Universe

Posted on December 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I had to go back to the article for some further reading. These snapshots, taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, reveal five supernovae, or exploding stars, and their host galaxies. The arrows in the top row of images point to … Continue reading →

Cosmic ray spallation

Posted on December 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As this NASA chart indicates, 70 percent or more of the universe consists of dark energy, about which we know next to nothing Other explanations of dark energy, called “quintessence,” originate from theoretical high-energy physics. In addition to baryons, photons, … Continue reading →

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz

Posted on December 18, 2006 by PlatoHagel

This is a historical reference as well as leading to a conclusion I won’t say it for you just that I present the idea, “written word,” and then you decide what that message is. You might have thought it disjointed, … Continue reading →

Against Symmetry

Posted on December 14, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The term “symmetry” derives from the Greek words sun (meaning ‘with’ or ‘together’) and metron (‘measure’), yielding summetria, and originally indicated a relation of commensurability (such is the meaning codified in Euclid’s Elements for example). It quickly acquired a further, … Continue reading →

Finiteness of String Theory and Mandelstam

Posted on December 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →
