Intuitively Compelling

Posted on May 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

While it does appear that Einstein has indeed given us a paradigm which was indeed world-changing and affected everyone, how well might he have known himself? He was “driven,” as to the” focus and outcome” of GR’s growth? Yet, being … Continue reading →

What Comes Next?

Posted on May 6, 2006 by PlatoHagel

What Lies Beneath, by Eugene Samuel Likewise, if the very fabric of the Universe is in a quantum-critical state, then the “stuff” that underlies reality is totally irrelevant-it could be anything, says Laughlin. Even if the string theorists show that … Continue reading →

Microstates and Gravity

Posted on May 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Strominger: That was the problem we had to solve. In order to count microstates, you need a microscopic theory. Boltzmann had one–the theory of molecules. We needed a microscopic theory for black holes that had to have three characteristics: One, … Continue reading →

Left or Right Brain Doesn’t Matter, When your In The Dimenisons?

Posted on February 2, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Einstein in response tyo Minkowski’s Space World: Since there exist in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent “now” objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears … Continue reading →

The Butterfly Effect

Posted on November 20, 2004 by PlatoHagel

The “Butterfly Effect” is the propensity of a system to be sensitive to initial conditions.Such systems over time become unpredictable,this idea gave rise to the notion of a butterfly flapping it’s wings in one area of the world,causing a tornado … Continue reading →

Self-Organization of Matter

Posted on November 16, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Everyone knows that human societies organize themselves. But it is also true that nature organizes itself, and that the principles by which it does this is what modern science, and especially modern physics, is all about. The purpose of my … Continue reading →
