A Superset Universe?

Posted on May 1, 2012 by PlatoHagel

How would you draw a Universe with all theories as being part of,  as a subset? Pictorial representations can be very useful in presenting information or assisting reasoning. Venn diagram is an example. Venn diagrams are used to represent classes … Continue reading →

History of Supersymmetry to Today

Posted on November 28, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Special Topic of Supersymmetry by Science Watch Since the 1980s, if not earlier, supersymmetry has reigned as the best available candidate for physics beyond the standard model. But experimental searches for supersymmetric particles have so far come up empty, only … Continue reading →

Old News Can Still Be New Information

Posted on September 15, 2010 by PlatoHagel

Getting a handle on Symmetries is an always work in progress for me, so as to keep abreast of the science and the theoretic involved. Why has Physics Today’s news coverage of string theory been so sparse? Given string theory’s … Continue reading →

Who Has Forgotten the Child’s Question?

Posted on May 2, 2010 by PlatoHagel

Physicists theorize that the omnipresent Higgs field slows some particles to below light speed, and thus imbues them with mass. Are we there yet? How many of you with children have not heard our own children speak with impatience of … Continue reading →
