Gravitational Radiation

Posted on September 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

How dry this article in comparison to what we can witness in the cosmo? One gets this sense of “curvature implied” that the events connected at locations in the universe could have been felt in other locations? What connects them? … Continue reading →

Gravity-Don’t Let it Get You Down

Posted on September 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

If a inkblot appears on your desk, would you think it appeared in the shape it did to convince you, that what you are “seeing is real?” To you, it may look like someone trying in their attempts to convince … Continue reading →

A Distorted Lense?

Posted on September 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Gravity dominates the large-scale structure of the universe, but only by default, so to speak. Matter arranges itself to cancel electromagnetism, and the strong and weak forces are intrinsically short range. At a more fundamental level, gravity is extravagantly feeble. … Continue reading →

CNO and the Law of Octaves

Posted on September 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“String theory—the hot topic in physics for the past 20 years—is a dead-end, says Smolin, one of the founders of Canada’s Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics and himself a lapsed string theorist. In fact, he (and others) argue convincingly, string … Continue reading →

Allotropes and the Ray of Creation

Posted on September 19, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Just thinking here about “life” in general and dreaming. As well, this takes us back to the article from Backreaction. This post was generated in response to Q’s comment and my subsequent statements that I supplied in turn. Take “full … Continue reading →

A Philosophical Juggernaut

Posted on September 17, 2006 by PlatoHagel

GRACE is the first ESSP mission. It will obtain the most precise measurements of Earth’s gravitational field that have ever been obtained. Improved resolution of the gravity field will lead to important advances in a number of disciplines that study … Continue reading →

Window on the Universe

Posted on September 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Michio Kaku: I like to compare it to wandering in the desert, and stumbling over a tiny pebble. When we push away the sand, we find that this “pebble” is actually the tip of a gargantuan pyramid. After years of … Continue reading →

A Constant that Isn’t Constant?

Posted on August 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Now I am wrting this because some are persistent about the speed of light. I have looked at this and tried to accompany this thinking with actual work that has been put out there, and that has developed along these … Continue reading →

Beyond Spacetime?

Posted on August 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As well as bringing the accelerator’s counter-rotating beams together, LHC insertion magnets also have to separate them after collision. This is the job of dedicated separators, and the US Brookhaven Laboratory is developing superconducting magnets for this purpose. Brookhaven is … Continue reading →

Dark Matter Discovery Announced by Nasa

Posted on August 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Q relayed some information between B and Sean, so I thought I would follow up. One thing that is forefront of my mind here, is lensing, and how photonic expression of the event is govern by the inclinations of gravity. … Continue reading →
