Setting Time Aright

Posted on September 1, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it. — Albert Einstein While Event has since past, I hope the lecture itself will remain in public domain. It helps so as to see … Continue reading →

The Founder of Probabilty Theory?

Posted on January 19, 2008 by PlatoHagel

I want to understand what makes the world tick. Einstein said he wanted to know what was on God’s mind when he made the world. I don’t think he was a religious man, but I know what he means.Lenny Susskind … Continue reading →

IN Search of Mandelstam’s Holy Grail

Posted on March 14, 2007 by PlatoHagel

There are two posts that reflect the purpose of this post today. One is Clifford’s linked through Lee Smolin’s comment and the other, at Backreaction. Good Physics is Conflict A lot of you may never understand the significance of the … Continue reading →

Wave Function and Summing over Histories

Posted on December 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Dealing with a 5D World A black hole is an object so massive that even light cannot escape from it. This requires the idea of a gravitational mass for a photon, which then allows the calculation of an escape energy … Continue reading →

Sum Over Histories

Posted on November 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

So how does all this come together into a physical theory? It turns out that the proper procedure is to construct every possible diagram allowed by the theory (for a given state of input and output particles and how they’re … Continue reading →

Resonance: Brownian Motion

Posted on October 21, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Now before I go into this I am thinking also if how “weathered effects and chaos” would have allowed quantum probability valuations (let’s say spintronic idealization to channel) to have been curtailed to a Professor crossing the room. Brane orientation … Continue reading →

Quantum Mechanical Discription of the Spacetime Fabric

Posted on December 8, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Richard Feynman developed the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics in 1948 (some preliminaries were worked out earlier, in the course of his doctoral thesis work with John Archibald Wheeler) as a description of quantum theory corresponding to the action … Continue reading →

No Royal Road to Geometry?

Posted on November 26, 2004 by PlatoHagel

All those who have written histories bring to this point their account of the development of this science. Not long after these men came Euclid, who brought together the Elements, systematizing many of the theorems of Eudoxus, perfecting many of … Continue reading →
