Big Ideas…..To String Theory

Posted on September 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Plato said: yes to Gauss and gaussian coordinates, not forgetting, Saccheri, Bolyai and Lobschevasky along this lineage of geometers On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry So A continuation from this, and reference to important papers for … Continue reading →

CFT and the Tomato Soup Can

Posted on September 15, 2005 by PlatoHagel

As always, the layman trying to develope the mathematical views?:) Greg Kuperberg on Sep 15th, 2005 at 12:11 pm Conformal maps of the Earth are a great introduction to complex analysis. If you identify the Earth with the Riemann sphere, … Continue reading →

Atlas and Proton-proton Collisions

Posted on September 14, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Depth of Perception I am responding to the link here on Cosmic Variance and the related article, Cosmic Violence. I do not want to tie up their space, so my “further response” is being given here. I speak of Glast … Continue reading →

Quark Gluon Plasma

Posted on September 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

So how far back to the beginning, and if we had thought supersymmetry could exist, would it be in the most perfect fluid? This form of matter is called quark-gluon plasma or QGP. Like its name suggests, QGP is a … Continue reading →

Quantum Gravity: The Blackhole

Posted on September 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Drawing Plane and Coordinate Systems More information is given here in Wiki. There is no “distance” separating cosmological events, from the cubic centimeter in the corner of the room? I have to tell you why I see this, and what … Continue reading →

Entanglement Interpretation of Black Hole Entropy

Posted on August 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

“Entanglement entropy” is the latest article posted by Lubos Motl. From this ideas are brought back for consideration, with Nigel and myself in trying to explain. I am not to swift sometimes in my explanations, so the inudation of links … Continue reading →

View on the Expansion of the Universe

Posted on August 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Georgi Dvali:The cosmic acceleration of the universe indicates that the laws of General Relativity get modified not only at very short but also at very large distances, Dvali says. It is this modification, and not dark energy, that is responsible … Continue reading →

More Views on the Landscape

Posted on August 23, 2005 by PlatoHagel

How would such a “landscape” bring string theory into better comprehension? The Most perfect fluid in face of strong coupling? Yet at the other end, there is no deviation? Eric Adelberger on Aug 12th, 2005 at 2:37 pm It is … Continue reading →

What Lies Beneath

Posted on August 23, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The Bottom up approach? R.B.Laughlin: The paper by Senthil et al. [9] is an attempt to address this issue mathematically. It deals specifically with a suspicion many of us have had that quark confinement, one of the most cherished features … Continue reading →
