Roots, and the Rings of History

Posted on February 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory … Continue reading →

Nothingness:The Science of Empty Space

Posted on February 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Henning Genz “The experiments at the LEP collider have shown us many times that all virtual particles need in order to become real is energy. Now, we might argue that the energy needed for the passage from virtual particles to … Continue reading →

Nature in Analog Models

Posted on February 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Plato: “For everyone, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” Oh! how complete our world view would be, that I have moved quickly to the very … Continue reading →

History of the Universe and the Standard Model

Posted on February 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Who would of thought the history of the universe could have ever been contained in this one moment? While it had been translated to 13.7 billions years, what is the value of recognizing this vast history, to what is contained … Continue reading →

More on Dual Nature of Blackhole

Posted on February 21, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In some theories, microscopic black holes may be produced in particle collisions that occur when very-high-energy cosmic rays hit particles in our atmosphere. These mini-black-holes would decay into ordinary particles in a tiny fraction of a second and would be … Continue reading →

SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER

Posted on February 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) Some of the older, and not so old, when they hear “this title” above, do they think of Startrek’s exploits in space? As we were given “a view” of space travellers going from … Continue reading →

Intersection of D Branes

Posted on February 14, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I’m not going to try and kid you with “this stuff,” as it is extremely beyond anything that any of us mere mortal can understand. So, if such a thought would be to simplify, then how would such thinking be … Continue reading →

Cosmic Variance’s Very Own: Strangelets in 10 or 11

Posted on February 12, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Cosmic Variance’s very own. Hewett, Lillie and Rizzo found that if so called micro-black holes, which are smaller than the nucleus of an atom, exist, they can be used to determine the number of extra dimensions. If scientists were to … Continue reading →

History of the Superfluid: New Physics

Posted on February 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Nice Picture above. It is really confusing for me sometimes so I have to revisit the set up, to make sure I have things slotted to the way it is being used to penetrate reductionistic views, that help us understand … Continue reading →

Warm Dark Matter

Posted on February 9, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Having a global perspective using the cyclical model, seem to open some of the ideas about the nature and geometry of this universe as mentioned in article below. I have been watching since the earlier days of the jamming session … Continue reading →
