WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DEEP, ELEGANT, OR BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATION?
Scientists’ greatest pleasure comes from theories that derive the solution to some deep puzzle from a small set of simple principles in a surprising way. These explanations are called “beautiful” or “elegant”. Historical examples are Kepler’s explanation of complex planetary motions as simple ellipses, Bohr’s explanation of the periodic table of the elements in terms…

Early Universe Formation
An Energy of Empty Space? Einstein was the first person to realize that empty space is not nothingness. Space has amazing properties, many of which are just beginning to be understood. The first property of space that Einstein discovered is that more space can actually come into existence. Einstein’s gravity theory makes a second prediction:…

Science and it’s Geometries?
On the post preceding this one, although we talked about the nature of the symmetries in action, and within context of the Calabi Yau, there is a relatiosnhip that must be drawn to other quarters of our perceptions to help orientate not only this drive for understanding energy production, but it’s basis in geometry as…

Warped Field Creates Lensing
The statement of this post, is distilled from the collaboration of some of the images to follow. In cosmic string developement there are these three points to consider. 1. Cosmological expansion 2. Intercommuting and Loop Production 3. Radiation I am always looking for this imagery that helps define further what gravitational lensing might have signified…
