Riemann Makes Explicit what Lagrange Implied.

Posted on January 24, 2026 by PlatoHagel

1. What the Lagrangian perspective truly is The Lagrangian perspective does not ask: “What forces push an object at this point in space?” Instead, it asks: “Along which path does the system choose to move, given all constraints?” Motion is … Continue reading →

Moving in Harmony with a Rotating Geometry

Posted on January 24, 2026 by PlatoHagel

You ask not where the points are, but how one enters the geometry that leads to them. That is the correct question. 1. The false intuition: aiming at a point One might think: “To reach a Lagrange point, one simply … Continue reading →

The  Logic to Galactic-scale Transport Networks

Posted on January 24, 2026 by PlatoHagel

We will not imagine engines of fantasy, but extend a principle already proven true. 1. What must be preserved when scaling up When moving from the solar system to the galaxy, we must preserve relations, not mechanisms. The preserved ideas … Continue reading →

Illustration of Artemis-P1 liberations orbits. Credit: NASA/Goddard ARTEMIS-P1 is the first spacecraft to navigate to and perform stationkeeping operations around the Earth-Moon L1 and L2 Lagrangian points. There are five Lagrangian points associated with the Earth-Moon system. The two points … Continue reading →

Core Optics

Posted on June 26, 2012 by PlatoHagel

A pair of polished Advanced LIGO end mirrors (ETM’s) Core optics are the 40-kg masses that form the heart of a LIGO detector. A core optic is manufactured from fused silica, polished to a few nanometers of smoothness and coated … Continue reading →

Geodesy and geophysics

Posted on March 6, 2012 by PlatoHagel

Mean Gravity Field Anomalies by definition would require that we understand something about our selves that we did not know before, in that the whole history of you, is a large synopsis of everything that thinks and breath? Imagine indeed … Continue reading →

Interplanetary Transport Network

Posted on January 25, 2010 by PlatoHagel

This stylized depiction of the ITN is designed to show its (often convoluted) path through the solar system. The green ribbon represents one path from among the many that are mathematically possible along the surface of the darker green bounding … Continue reading →

Gravity Wave Spectrum

Posted on March 2, 2009 by PlatoHagel

PURPOSE: To show the two-dimensional standing waves on the surface of a square or circular plate. Early perception of sound as analogy to the ideas of the WMAP background were forming in my mind when Wayne HU was demonstrating the … Continue reading →
