  • Socrates Discusses Where is the Point

    Socrates: Platohagel, this repost is more important than it first appears. I would classify “Where is the Point” not merely as a 2006 physics post, but as an early genealogical node in what has now become the Geometry of Memory. The remarkable feature is that the questions appearing in this 2006 material are very close…

  • ATLAS discovers its first new particle

    String theory isn’t just another quantum field theory, another particular finite list of elementary particles with some interactions. It’s an intellectually and literally multi-dimensional reservoir of wisdom that has taught us many things of completely new kinds that we couldn’t foresee. The Reference Frame: LHC: is a new particle?: LHC: is χb(3P) a new particle?…

  • Superconductivity Dance Flash Mob (reposted from Dec1, 2011)

    What can I say people in science seem to like to dance a lot to explain things?:)   Ranging from slime molds to Alzheimer’s Disease, a new online exhibit, Emergent Universe (http://www.emergentuniverse.org) aims to encourage young people to learn about “emergence,” complex behaviors that arise from the interaction of simple parts. See: Emergent Universe –…

  • "Lego Block" Galaxies in Early Universe

    Witten: One thing I can tell you, though, is that most string theorist’s suspect that spacetime is a emergent Phenomena in the language of condensed matter physics. n this image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, several objects are identified as the faintest, most compact galaxies ever observed in the distant universe. They are so…

  • The Cosmic Landscape

    I noticed a few blogs mentioning the landscape. Asymptotia(Clifford Johnson), The Reference Frame(Lubos Motl), and Not Even Wrong (Peter Woit’s) blog. The Cosmic Landscape:String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design by Leonard Susskind After reading Susskind’s book in regards to the landscape issue, I was intrigued by the First Three Microseconds previous as it…

  • Heralded from the 21st Century: String Theory

    I know not how, may find their way to the minds of humanity in Some Dimensionality, and may stir up a race of rebels who shall refuse to be confined to limited Dimensionality.” from Flatland, by E. A. Abbott It is sometimes important to know what race of rebels had been raised to realize that…

  • Solidification of Geometrical Presence

    While I might infer the “attributes of Coxeter here,” it is with the understanding such a dimensional perspective which has it’s counterpart in the result of what manifests as matter creations. Yet we have taken our views down to the “powers of ten” to think of what could manifest even before we see the result…

  • Against Symmetry

    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, more general, meaning: that of a proportion relation, grounded on (integer) numbers, and with the…

  • The Higg’s Boson and Memory?

    While some like chocolate bars and the bubble nature of candy, some also like the molasses and ice cream? :) If Plato Had thought “the new born” was not really such a “blank slate” then what did he mean exactly? If we could remember, “in what form” would these memories have manifested? The origins of…

  • Historical Approach of the Sand Reckoner

    I should pave the way for how the thoughts that are unfolding this morning. But nothing afflicted Marcellus so much as the death of Archimedes, who was then, as fate would have it, intent upon working out some problem by a diagram, and having fixed his mind alike and his eyes upon the subject of…

  • What’s on the Condense Matter Theorist’s Mind?

    The Theory of Everything Prof. Robert B. Laughlin The crystalline state is the simplest known example of a quantum , a stable state of matter whose generic low-energy properties are determined by a higher organizing principle and nothing else. Robert Laughlin Thre are certain perspective that are different then what reductionism has done to serves…
