Back to the Beginning of Time

Posted on November 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

While some of us who had been engaged in a little prehistory examination of earliest QGP states as glast determination of high energy photons, the question, “to Be or not to be,” how could we not ask what Professor Susskind … Continue reading →

Part of Facing the Trouble With Physics

Posted on October 16, 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 →

What is Cerenkov Radiation?

Posted on October 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

…the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.Albert Einstein Many do not recognize the process that unfolds in the developing perspectives about theoretics? … Continue reading →

Historical Approach of the Sand Reckoner

Posted on September 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

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

Posted on September 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … 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 →

BigFoot: The Anomalistic Reality?

Posted on August 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The explanation of scientific development in terms of paradigms was not only novel but radical too, insofar as it gives a naturalistic explanation of belief-change.

What is the False Vacuum?

Posted on July 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Quantum Field Theory Quantum Vacuum: In classical physics, empty space is called the vacuum. The classical vacuum is utterly featureless. However, in quantum theory, the vacuum is a much more complex entity. The uncertainty principle allows virtual particles (each corresponding … Continue reading →
