Noncommutative standard model

Posted on September 15, 2012 by

In theoretical particle physics, the non-commutative Standard Model, mainly due to the French mathematician Alain Connes, uses his noncommutative geometry to devise an extension of the Standard Model to include a modified form of general relativity. This unification implies a … Continue reading →

Descriptive geometry

Posted on December 4, 2007 by

At this point in the development, although geometry provided a common framework for all the forces, there was still no way to complete the unification by combining quantum theory and general relativity. Since quantum theory deals with the very small … Continue reading →

Projective Geometries

Posted on December 2, 2007 by

A theorem which is valid for a geometry in this sequence is automatically valid for the ones that follow. The theorems of projective geometry are automatically valid theorems of Euclidean geometry. We say that topological geometry is more abstract than … Continue reading →

Great Pyramid was built inside out, Frenchman says

Posted on March 31, 2007 by

Man ponders shadow, or shadow ponders itself? Great Pyramid of Giza was the world’s tallest building from c. 2570 BC to c. 1300 AD.† For me, this has always been somewhat of an interest of mine. I’ll tell a little … Continue reading →

Posted on March 20, 2007 by

“I’m a Platonist — a follower of Plato — who believes that one didn’t invent these sorts of things, that one discovers them. In a sense, all these mathematical facts are right there waiting to be discovered.“Donald (H. S. M.) … Continue reading →
