Inverse Fourth Power Law

Posted on December 3, 2004 by PlatoHagel

By moving our perceptions to fifth dimenisonal views of Kaluza and KLein, I looked at methods that would help me explain that strange mathematical world that I had been lead too geometrically. If such a bulk existed, then how would … 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 →

Entanglement and the New Physics

Posted on November 30, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I have to go back and look at this subject carefully to get a sense of what is going on in Lubos Blog(will supply proper link later). It is possible to entangle two photons that have never interacted before by … Continue reading →

Quantum Geometricization: The Struggle

Posted on November 29, 2004 by PlatoHagel

If Lorentz symmetry is broken by some mechanism originating at the Planck scale, is there any hope of detecting such an effect? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Over the past decade Kostelecky and co-workers have been exploring how a violation … Continue reading →

Bubble Nucleation

Posted on November 25, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Based on the no boundary proposal, I picture the origin of the universe, as like the formation of bubbles of steam in boiling water. Quantum fluctuations lead to the spontaneous creation of tiny universes, out of nothing. Most of the … Continue reading →

Quantum Gravity

Posted on November 22, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Here is one of two methods that help explain. The next post will follow tomorrow if I have time. The complexity of the pictures involved is linked down below in Fig 15-17. This will give some generalizations that I had … Continue reading →

Fool’s Gold

Posted on November 20, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906) In 1877 Boltzmann used statistical ideas to gain valuable insight into the meaning of entropy. He realized that entropy could be thought of as a measure of disorder, and that the second law of thermodynamics expressed the … Continue reading →

Universal Error Correction in Quantum Computation

Posted on November 15, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Physicists have succeeded in entangling five photons for the first time. Although four photons have been entangled before, five is the minimum number needed for universal error correction in quantum computation. Moreover, the same team has demonstrated a process called … Continue reading →

Information in the Holographic Universe: A Holographic Spacetime

Posted on November 9, 2004 by PlatoHagel

by Jacob D. Bekenstein TWO UNIVERSES of different dimension and obeying disparate physical laws are rendered completely equivalent by the holographic principle. Theorists have demonstrated this principle mathematically for a specific type of five-dimensional spacetime (“anti–de Sitter”) and its four-dimensional … Continue reading →

Quantum Gravity Models

Posted on November 6, 2004 by PlatoHagel

PLato saids,”Look to the perfection of the heavens for truth,” while Aristotle saids “look around you at what is if you would know the truth” Quantum Gravity I guess we have a choice here? Between the models of what would … Continue reading →
