Nothingness?

Posted on February 28, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If you assume something always had to exist, then to me, this statement of nothingness is quite puzzling to me. The most surprising difference for the quantum case is the so-called zero-point vibration” of the n=0 ground state. This implies … Continue reading →

Timeline

Posted on February 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

There are reasons for this theme, that I thought most appropriate to the discussion of illusion and miracles. In the thread previous to this one, a concept is put forward by Arkani-Hamed that focuses on the issue of the timeline … Continue reading →

HIgher Dimensions Without the Geometry?

Posted on February 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

In Illusions and Miracles I became concerned with what the mind’s capabilties which could encounter fifth dimensional views. That such examples were needed, and found in relation to Thomas Banchoff. Having understood the early development from Euclidean perspective, our furthered … Continue reading →

Organization of Matter: The Theory of Everything

Posted on February 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I looked at Sean Carroll’s blog on the thread on emergence and for me first principle was a dirty word to Robert Laughlin, and for many of us, the forms are the resulting framework of the organization of matter states, … Continue reading →

Blackhole Production and Sonluminence

Posted on February 9, 2005 by PlatoHagel

John Ellis:The quark-gluon plasma – if it exists and is being produced at RHIC – is considerably more complicated than was thought a few years ago. It seems to be an almost perfect, strongl-interacting fluid with very low viscosity. Theoretically, … Continue reading →

When Gravity Becomes Strong……

Posted on February 8, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The value of non-Euclidean geometry lies in its ability to liberate us from preconceived ideas in preparation for the time when exploration of physical laws might demand some geometry other than the Euclidean. Bernhard Riemann It is very important that … Continue reading →

Symmetry and Symmetry Breaking

Posted on February 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Harmonices Mundi <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler&quot; target=_blank title="Harmonice Mundi (Latin: Harmony of the Worlds, 1619) is a book by Johannes Kepler. It attempts to explain proportions and geometry in planetary motions by relating them to musical scales and intervals. According to Kepler, … Continue reading →

Time and Gravity

Posted on February 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Einstein wrote >”…for us physicists believe the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one.” After being changed by assuming the views of string theory, something happened in my perspective about understanding the dimensional … Continue reading →

Civilizations Within the Cosmo

Posted on January 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

In the recent article ‘Conflict between anthropic reasoning and observation’ (gr-qc/0303070) Ken D. Olum, using some inflation-based ideas and the anthropic premise that we should be typical among all intelligent observers in the Universe, arrives at the puzzling conclusion that … Continue reading →

Initial Condition Determinations allow Predictability?

Posted on January 25, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The Lorenz Attractor One of the basis of using string theory to me, was to identify, the initial conditions? It would be like talking about the weather to me that we could engage such a topic as strings and then … Continue reading →
