Gravity-Don’t Let it Get You Down
If a inkblot appears on your desk, would you think it appeared in the shape it did to convince you, that what you are “seeing is real?” To you, it may look like someone trying in their attempts to convince you of what a blackhole is? These questions greatly disturbed Richard Feynman. His famous paper…

A Distorted Lense?
Gravity dominates the large-scale structure of the universe, but only by default, so to speak. Matter arranges itself to cancel electromagnetism, and the strong and weak forces are intrinsically short range. At a more fundamental level, gravity is extravagantly feeble. Acting between protons, gravitational attraction is about 10-36 times weaker than electrical repulsion. Where does…

Hydrogen, and the Law of Octaves
<a href="http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/vilenkin06/vilenkin06_index.html" target=_BLank title="The Edge-THE PRINCIPLE OF MEDIOCRITY [9.15.06]By Alexander Vilenkin”> Alex Vilenkin – Many Worlds in One article by Mark of Cosmic Variance drew my interest again after reading with a new perspective gained from understandng some implications about the “anthropic principle.” Sometimes I even still hold to the idea it is better not…

What is Natural?
Fig. 2. Image showing how an 8 TeV black hole might look in the ATLAS detector (with the caveat that there are still uncertainties in the theoretical calculations). The question I would pose to those who do not have the dynamical nature of the universe in mind, are you happy with what you are seeing?…

Window on the Universe
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 excavation, we find wondrous hieroglyphics, strange tunnels and secret passageways. Every time we think we…

Epic Voyage-The LHC Journey
Couldn’t help noticing Lubos’s recent article on his blog Frame of Reference, called, “Epic Vessel.” Now of course, if presented new opportunities to express ourselves. why does it have to be the way Lubos speaks, about vision being the sea of ignorance, and being limited only by our education? There is enough information out there…

Clifford and The Singularity
Horatiu is referring to a mathematical similarity between the physics of the real world, which govern RHIC collisions, and the physics that scientists use to describe a theoretical, “imaginary” black hole in a hypothetical world with a different number of space-time dimensions (more than the four dimensions — three space directions and time — that…

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:…

Harmonics will Color Your World?
If you are a active participator of the very world around you, how is it, the makeup of high energy particle creations could not have included the standard model make up “harmonically described” does it not also apply to our “very thinking and conscious mind?” :) The Landscape “avant la lettre” by A.N. Schellekens The…

Quantum Mechanics: Determinism at Planck Scale
Perhaps Quantum Gravity can be Handled by thoroughly reconsidering Quantum Mechanics itself?– Gerard t’ Hooft Albert Einstein used harmonic oscillators to understand specific heats of solids and found that energy levels are quantized. This formed one of the key bridges between classical and quantum mechanics. Can harmonic oscillators serve as a bridge between quantum mechanics…

Strangelets Do Not Exist?
I tried to follow the history as best I could, and the resulting worries earlier linked in extra links seen below, attest to the research that I followed. Can we safely say now, that strangelets do not exist? Quantum character of black holesby Adam D. Helfer Black holes are extreme manifestations of general relativity, so…
