Cycle of Birth, Life, and Death-Origin, Indentity, and Destiny by Gabriele Veneziano

Posted on November 29, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Was the big bang really the beginning of time? Or did the universe exist before then? Such a question seemed almost blasphemous only a decade ago. Most cosmologists insisted that it simply made no sense – that to contemplate a … Continue reading →

Quantum Geometricization: The Struggle

Posted on November 29, 2004 by PlatoHagel

If Lorentz symmetry is broken by some mechanism originating at the Planck scale, is there any hope of detecting such an effect? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Over the past decade Kostelecky and co-workers have been exploring how a violation … Continue reading →

Non Euclidean Geometry and the Universe

Posted on November 28, 2004 by PlatoHagel

With Critical density ( Omega ), matter distinctions become apparent, when looking at the computerized model of Andrey Kravtsov. Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann 1826 – 1866 Riemannian Geometry, also known as elliptical geometry, is the geometry of the surface of … Continue reading →

Searching for Changes in the Fine-Structure Constant Using Atomic Clocks

Posted on November 27, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Another laser beam is used to make the atoms fluoresce, and the amount of fluorescence is measured as a function of the microwave frequency to plot a “resonance curve”. An ultra-precise measurement of time can be made by measuring the … Continue reading →

The Cosmic String

Posted on November 24, 2004 by PlatoHagel

It was important for me to recognize the microcosmic view, could have been united with cosmological proportions, and revealled structural integrity to the way in which the universe was formed. If such views were manifesting from planck Epoch realizations, then … Continue reading →

The Man Who Knew Infinity:

Posted on November 24, 2004 by PlatoHagel

A Life of the Genius Ramanujanby Robert Kanigel Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920)In the past few decades, we have witnessed how Ramanujan’s contributions have made such a profound impact on various branches of mathematics. The book, “The man who knew infinity”, by … Continue reading →

Mathematicians and Physicists Do is Perhaps Like Sculpture

Posted on November 23, 2004 by PlatoHagel

“Science is that human activity in which we aim to show towards nature that respect that in a democracy we endeavor to show towards each other.” Smolin then goes on to write something interesting here. Many would have interpreted the … Continue reading →

Quantum Gravity

Posted on November 22, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Here is one of two methods that help explain. The next post will follow tomorrow if I have time. The complexity of the pictures involved is linked down below in Fig 15-17. This will give some generalizations that I had … Continue reading →

A Quantum-Mechanical Discription of Gravity

Posted on November 17, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I do not know how much more generalized these views could have become from those who now look to what the physicists and theoreticians are doing in their questions for explaining the nature of the reality we are encountering. If … Continue reading →

New Non-geometrical Generalization of the Principles of CFT Found?

Posted on November 17, 2004 by PlatoHagel

There is always a certain expectancy, when it comes having formulated the theoretical work, that further developement along these lines presenst the opportunities for such things to exist. A new non-geometrical generalization of the principles of CFT will be found, … Continue reading →
