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 →

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 →

Big Bang:One Man’s Change of Heart

Posted on February 15, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Thanks Paul One definitely needs some perspective around this and how such information is given. I refer here for consideration, about perspective, and how it can be exploited for further consideration on what is emitted, and what manifests in weak … 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 →

Time

Posted on February 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

You need a “Axion point” to derive symmetry breaking from equilibrium? Hmmmmm….. I’m thinking here. The idea is taking the first three minutes and moving it to the first three seconds and that’s where strings come in… I must warn … Continue reading →

Being Informed On things One might of Missed

Posted on January 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Some links and slides given by Dr. Nick Evan. Clifford of Cosmic Variance relayed this information in a titled post called, “Return to the Fold“ Every model assumption has to involve the understanding of all “science processes.” “If” any of … Continue reading →

Hyperspace

Posted on January 24, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Science is that human activity in which we aim to show towards nature that respect that in a democracy we endeavor to show towards each other.” There is no doubt my views are biased. For all the wrong reasons I … Continue reading →

Earth Bound Solutions to All Possible Pathways

Posted on January 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Will I might have been guilty of taking Physics down a road so similar in conceptualization bastardizing, that I would have driven a nail in the very deaths of what could have emerged from the outcome of all possibilties? That … Continue reading →
