Mathematics Meets the Mind’s Eye

Posted on February 3, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl If … Continue reading →

Civilizations Within the Cosmo

Posted on January 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

In the recent article ‘Conflict between anthropic reasoning and observation’ (gr-qc/0303070) Ken D. Olum, using some inflation-based ideas and the anthropic premise that we should be typical among all intelligent observers in the Universe, arrives at the puzzling conclusion that … Continue reading →

Topology and Early History

Posted on January 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Part of the effort here is to outlay the idealization of what Genus figures means and the relationship to string amplitutdes. A diagram of the Königsberg bridges Topological ideas are present in almost all areas of today’s mathematics. The subject … Continue reading →

Numbers at the Heart of Creation?

Posted on January 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Peter Woit pasted a small thread on the question of the new show that is to begin on television soon. Peter said:There’s a new TV show called “NUMB3RS” starting tonight, whose main character is a mathematican named “Charlie”, who solves … Continue reading →

Is Everyone Declaring their Position Clearly?

Posted on January 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

“Most string theorists are very arrogant,” says Seiberg with a smile. “If there is something [beyond string theory], we will call it string theory.” I am going to comment on Peter Woit’s reference to the article called String Fellows he … Continue reading →

The Microstates of Quantum Gravity

Posted on January 19, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense-experience correspond to a logically uniform system of thought -Albert Einstein Fig.1: Generally Grouping Order increases the density of objects within a frame of reference, resulting in a more … Continue reading →

The Emergence of Time, What Lies Beneath?

Posted on January 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The intuitive classical space-time picture breaks down in quantum gravity, which makes a comparison and the development of semiclassical techniques quite complicated. Taken in context of how supersymmetrical levels could have ever been reached, is really a wonderful thnng to … Continue reading →

Where to Now?

Posted on December 30, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Once you see parts of the picture, belonging to the whole, then it becomes clear what a nice picture we will have?:) I used it originally for the question of the idea of a royal road to geometry, but have … Continue reading →

What are Sounds in the New Concept of Theoretics Approach?

Posted on December 27, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I must be true to my word, and follow the tidit of information that I posted on Peter Woit’s site. I am pointing to the two positions that both Lubos and Peter declare of themselves, in what they choose to … Continue reading →

About Spheres and their Generalizations of Higher Dimensional Spaces

Posted on December 22, 2004 by PlatoHagel

There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world. — Nikolai Lobachevsky If a math man were to be left alone, and devoid of the physics, would he … Continue reading →
