Wunderkammern

Posted on June 1, 2005 by PlatoHagel

For me this is a wonderful view of abstraction, that had gone into model making, to help those less inclined to “the visonistic qualities of those same abstractions.” Shown here are the models in the mathematical wunderkammer located in the … Continue reading →

Bubble world

Posted on March 12, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Using a rubber band analogy over top of a ball is a interesting way to approach the circle used, and the energy determinations found of value in calculating 1r radius(KK Tower) of that same circle, as you move to the … Continue reading →

Primordial Gravitational Waves

Posted on January 6, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Although I have designated the title above, I want to add current trends for future observations by speaking to this one first. It is sometimes evident that such comments made by Peter Woit would have to have enormous amounts of … Continue reading →
