Eta Carinae

Posted on March 30, 2012 by PlatoHagel

Preview of a Forthcoming Supernova At the turn of the 19th century, the binary star system Eta Carinae was faint and undistinguished. In the first decades of the century, it became brighter and brighter, until, by April 1843, it was … Continue reading →

Quantum state

Posted on January 25, 2012 by PlatoHagel

Probability densities for the electron of a hydrogen atom in different quantum states.(Click on Image) In physics, a quantum state is a set of mathematical variables that fully describes a quantum system. *** Is there such a thing, as isometrical … Continue reading →

The Nature of Reality

Posted on December 28, 2011 by PlatoHagel

The last major changes to the periodic table was done in the middle of the 20th Century. Glenn Seaborg is given the credit for it. Starting with his discovery of plutonium in 1940, he discovered all the transuranic elements from … Continue reading →

NASA’s Hubble Telescope Celebrates SN 1987A’s 20th Anniversary

Posted on February 24, 2007 by PlatoHagel

A String of ‘Cosmic Pearls’ Surrounds an Exploding Star-NASA, ESA, P. Challis, and R. Kirshner (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) Twenty years ago, astronomers witnessed one of the brightest stellar explosions in more than 400 years. The titanic supernova, called SN … Continue reading →

“Observations always involve theory.”Edwin Hubble Curvature Parameters Of course I had to point to the cosmological understanding that took us to this “geometrical understanding of things that are large.” But this is to be short, while I crunch the thoughts … Continue reading →

N category and the Hydrogen spectrum

Posted on December 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Picture of the 1913 Bohr model of the atom showing the Balmer transition from n=3 to n=2. The electronic orbitals (shown as dashed black circles) are drawn to scale, with 1 inch = 1 Angstrom; note that the radius of … 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 →

If it’s Not a Soccer Ball, What is it?

Posted on March 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Timaeus concludes And so now we may say that our account of the universe has reached its conclusion. This world of ours has received and teems with living things, mortal and immortal. A visible living thing containing visible things, and … Continue reading →

Paul Dirac and Geometrical Thinking?

Posted on November 17, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Into the Antiworld was originally staged at CERN inside the underground cavern that houses the Delphi experiment, in which collisions between electrons and their antiparticles – positrons – are studied. That setting must have been awe-inspiring, particularly as the show … Continue reading →

A Classical Discription of the Quantum World?

Posted on November 30, 2004 by PlatoHagel

D Orbital Orbitals are probability diagrams. Specifically, an orbital describes a region in space where there is a 90% change of finding an electron. The electron is never restricted to an orbital as in travels around a nucleus, but it … Continue reading →
