Fear and Ignorance

Posted on October 16, 2008 by PlatoHagel

This is a very significant physical result because it tells us that the energy of a system described by a harmonic oscillator potential cannot have zero energy. Physical systems such as atoms in a solid lattice or in polyatomic molecules … Continue reading →

The Ring of Truth

Posted on November 14, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Savas Dimopoulos:Here’s an analogy to understand this: imagine that our universe is a two-dimensional pool table, which you look down on from the third spatial dimension. When the billiard balls collide on the table, they scatter into new trajectories across … Continue reading →

Emotion and Reason Balanced: The Mind’s Consequence?

Posted on March 1, 2007 by PlatoHagel

For example, in 1704 Sir Isaac Newton struggled to devise mathematical formulas to equate the vibrational frequency of sound waves with a corresponding wavelength of light. He failed to find his hoped-for translation algorithm, but the idea of correspondence took … Continue reading →

Window Into the Mind

Posted on January 23, 2007 by PlatoHagel

As we increase our knowledge of the genetic, neural and cognitive aspects of synaesthesia, we will find that we are beginning to understand the brain more completely. Researchers may wish that they possessed synaesthesia, but being able to explore a … Continue reading →
