Epic Voyage-The LHC Journey

Posted on September 5, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Couldn’t help noticing Lubos’s recent article on his blog Frame of Reference, called, “Epic Vessel.” Now of course, if presented new opportunities to express ourselves. why does it have to be the way Lubos speaks, about vision being the sea … Continue reading →

Now, here is a SuperNova for Real

Posted on September 1, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The Crab Nebula from VLT Credit: FORS Team, 8.2-meter VLT, ESO Now the “ultimate proof” is to hold in our hands the matters defined by objects. This is the culmination of all dimensional perspectives, being “condensed to the moment” we … Continue reading →

Cyclic Universe Could Explain Cosmological Constant

Posted on August 17, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Thanks Paul for pointing this article out here some time ago. Physicists have proposed several theories to explain why Λ is so small. One of the most popular — the “anthropic principle” — states that Λ is randomly set and … Continue reading →

BigFoot: The Anomalistic Reality?

Posted on August 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The explanation of scientific development in terms of paradigms was not only novel but radical too, insofar as it gives a naturalistic explanation of belief-change. Thomas Kuhn <a href=”http://eskesthai.blogspot.com/2006/03/professors-fate-or-encouragement-to.html&#8221; target=_BLank title=”Frame from the footage filmed by Roger Patterson in October … Continue reading →

String Theory Landscape

Posted on August 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The theory of strings predicts that the universe might occupy one random “valley” out of a virtually infinite selection of valleys in a vast landscape of possibilities Quantum Effect, however allow a manifold to change state abruptly at some point-to … Continue reading →

What is the False Vacuum?

Posted on July 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Quantum Field Theory Quantum Vacuum: In classical physics, empty space is called the vacuum. The classical vacuum is utterly featureless. However, in quantum theory, the vacuum is a much more complex entity. The uncertainty principle allows virtual particles (each corresponding … 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 →

Gold and Fool’s Gold

Posted on July 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Gold Perhaps the highest density known is reached in neutron star matter (see neutronium). The singularity at the centre of a black hole, according to general relativity, does not have any volume, so its density is undefined. The most dense … Continue reading →

Tomatoe Soup is Physical?

Posted on July 19, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Spacetime in String Theory, by Gary Horowitz Of course, one get’s to thnking about where all this theoretical stuff is taking us, and the result of such conclusions become interesting in having consumed the model assumptions? Having Grokked it? So … Continue reading →

Star Lite Public Outreach

Posted on July 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In regards to the QGP(Quark Gluon Plasma) I thought such a creation important from the ideas of what happens in assessing any beginning? <a href="http://qd.typepad.com/5/2005/03/public_service_.html&quot; target=_blank title="Public Service Announcement: Black Holes @ RHIC-March 17 2005-Peter Steinberg”> This thought arose from … Continue reading →
