What is AMS?

Posted on March 31, 2008 by PlatoHagel

General objectives:To collect precision cosmic ray data at high energies, including 10^10 protons; to discover or rule out certain particles as explanations for dark matter; to study cosmic ray propagation in the galaxy; to search for exotic particles or spectral … Continue reading →

Geoneutrinos

Posted on April 23, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Geoneutrinos, anti-electron neutrinos emanating from the earth, are expected to serve as a unique window into the interior of our planet, revealing information that is hidden from other probes. The left half of this image shows the production distribution for … Continue reading →

The CrossOver Point within the Perfect Fluid?

Posted on April 12, 2007 by PlatoHagel

I had been following this research because of what I had been trying to understand when we take our understanding down to a certain level. That level is within the context of us probing the collision process for evidence of … Continue reading →

Blackhole evaporation: What’s New From the Subatomic-Sized Holes ?

Posted on April 10, 2007 by PlatoHagel

…the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.Albert Einstein See What is Cerenkov Radiation? We are being “politically correct” (a sociological observation) when … Continue reading →

Strangelets and Strange Matter

Posted on February 14, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Of course I will point to some of the “inherent nature” that some scientists encounter as they develop the geometrical basis to “all the concepts could ever mean?” But first, “the journey.” If not fundamental, though, quark nuggets zipping around … Continue reading →

Monster of the Milky Way

Posted on October 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Lubos Motl, it does not have to be “ten billion souls” that we find of just one the same. How many scientists do you know that refer to Plato? If enough is captured as “part of the original,” then why … Continue reading →

"Lead by Physics," Faces the "Trouble With Physics"

Posted on October 15, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what … Continue reading →

Are Strangelets Natural?

Posted on September 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Thus RHIC is in a certain sense a string theory testing machine, analyzing the formation and decay of dual black holes, and giving information about the black hole interior. It is important that you look at the date of this … Continue reading →

Emergence: A Point in Spacetime

Posted on July 28, 2006 by PlatoHagel

We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding out that we must learn a great deal more about ‘and’.” – Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) Foundational perspectives are … Continue reading →

Clifford and The Singularity

Posted on July 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →
