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 →

Status of "Warp Drive"

Posted on November 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Time is of your own making; its clock ticks in your head. The moment you stop thought time too stops dead. Angelus Silesius The plot created here in this post in this fictional sense(?) so that I too may deal … Continue reading →

Tunnelling in Faster then Light

Posted on November 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Underneath this speculation of mine is the geometrical inclination of the universe in expression. If it’s “dynamical nature is revealed” what allows us to think of why this universe at this time and junction, should be flat(?) according to the … 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 →

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 →

Harmonics will Color Your World?

Posted on June 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

If you are a active participator of the very world around you, how is it, the makeup of high energy particle creations could not have included the standard model make up “harmonically described” does it not also apply to our … Continue reading →

Science Mathmatically Endowed?

Posted on June 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Approaches to the Quantum Theory of Gravity by the PI Institute Two methods evolved in the theory of elementary particles to describe such quantized flux tubes. The one, called the loop method, studies them using the basic laws of electricity … Continue reading →

Is the door open to the eruption of the sociology of knowledge?

Posted on May 1, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Nobody really thinks about the subtle perceptions that can make their way into the scientist’s mind? Do they? While, I had talked about the quiet places we like to go to find that peace of mind, it might be different … Continue reading →
