Is Special Relativity Wrong?

Posted on January 21, 2005 by PlatoHagel

New Physics? Possible violations of Lorentz invariance are an ideal signal of new physics because nothing in the Standard Model of particle physics permits the violation of special relativity. Therefore, no conventional process could ever mimic or cover up a … Continue reading →

Is Everyone Declaring their Position Clearly?

Posted on January 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

“Most string theorists are very arrogant,” says Seiberg with a smile. “If there is something [beyond string theory], we will call it string theory.” I am going to comment on Peter Woit’s reference to the article called String Fellows he … Continue reading →

The Microstates of Quantum Gravity

Posted on January 19, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense-experience correspond to a logically uniform system of thought -Albert Einstein Fig.1: Generally Grouping Order increases the density of objects within a frame of reference, resulting in a more … Continue reading →

Education, Now Stimulates Creativity:-)

Posted on January 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The nice thing about good educators is the resource that they can help point lay people to to encourage exploration and thought provocation. It is not to nice to have controls place on the the ability of resource searchers to … Continue reading →

KK: Kaluza Klein Theory

Posted on January 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

What is it? KK Tower Now part of the problem of visualization here is what and how the cosmic string could have developed. Now, determination of the various sizing of these strings would have had to incorporate the value of … Continue reading →

Pay it Forward: A Educational Stance?

Posted on January 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The Changing Face of Education Now that the comments section has been closed to some, it will be nice to see what he thinks on his own without others interfering. If you put yourself out there, be prepared to stand … Continue reading →

The Color Glass Condensate

Posted on January 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Search for a new state of matter called the Quark-Gluon Plasma, which is believed to be the state of matter existing in the universe shortly after the Big Bang. If it is found, then measure its properties. Study matter under … Continue reading →

GR Reduced From Higher Dimensions?

Posted on January 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Earlier in my blog, I posted a subject called the Classical discription of the quantum world Now it was a big leap of faith on my part that I saw these events as distilliations of a larger and more dynamic … Continue reading →
