Have we seen (strange) quark matter?

Posted on March 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Well the very idea that such a thing could exist, has been part of the evolving information I had been going through. To be lead to the understanding, of what new Physics would emerge fromm cosmological and collidial events. That … Continue reading →

Plato and Aristotle

Posted on February 24, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Plato – holding the Timaeus – Pointing up as a sign of his metaphysical belief in the higher world of the forms, shown with the face of Leonardo. Aristotle – holding his Ethics with hand palm down, reflecting a more … Continue reading →

The Blackhole as a Superfluid: It’s Viscosity

Posted on January 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Now you must understand that thinking of any first principle is hard to refrain from, especially, if one had thought like I do, that the geometrical tendencies are inherent in the way this is handled, and that it leads to … Continue reading →

Laughlin, Reductionism, Emergence

Posted on December 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I am still operating from the idea of Xtra-Dimensions. What motivating force would have brought such a quantum gravity group together and the aspect it might have spoken from? What mysterious forces motivates all these ladies/ gentlemen? Everyone knows that … Continue reading →

Strings and No_Sense?

Posted on October 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Well for me, if theorists have mathematically created a vision of things, how is it possible not to have generalized their views on what they had learnt about the theories they talk about? “Shut up and Calculate” would definitely appeal … Continue reading →

What are those Quantum Microstates

Posted on October 18, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Now two points occupy my mind that hold questions as to what and how such counting can be done in terms of geometric propensity, that would allow these geometries into topological states. First point is: Lubos Motl said: We need … Continue reading →

What Lies Beneath

Posted on August 23, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The Bottom up approach? R.B.Laughlin: The paper by Senthil et al. [9] is an attempt to address this issue mathematically. It deals specifically with a suspicion many of us have had that quark confinement, one of the most cherished features … Continue reading →

Unexpected High energies of Cosmic Rays

Posted on August 17, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Plato said: I am thinking about Lee Smolin’s history here in terms of discrete measures ( I am developing a perspective here in relation that will be complied later) How this effected the the way Lee may have viewed the … Continue reading →

Microstates and Gravity

Posted on May 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Strominger: That was the problem we had to solve. In order to count microstates, you need a microscopic theory. Boltzmann had one–the theory of molecules. We needed a microscopic theory for black holes that had to have three characteristics: One, … Continue reading →

Raychaudhuri Equation

Posted on March 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Is it sand running through our fingers, or a taffy like substance, in symbolic form? The difference, discretium and fluidity of nature, geometrically/topologically driven, are at war with what we might interpret in time? Early on, Salvador Dali understood well … Continue reading →
