Projective Geometries

Posted on October 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Action at a Distance Now ths statement might seem counterproductive to the ideas of projective geometry but please bear with me. In physics, action at a distance is the interaction of two objects which are separated in space with no … Continue reading →

The Total Field

Posted on September 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

For me this title above strikes a cord somehow in the struggle and regard, leading in our comprehensions to the extension of the standard model. By bringing gravity into the picture and descibing the graviton teaming in the bulk of … Continue reading →

The Black Hole Final State

Posted on July 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl It … Continue reading →

String Connection?

Posted on June 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The possibility of a connection between string theory and RHIC collisions is unexpected and exhilarating,” Dr. Orbach said. “String theory seeks to unify the two great intellectual achievements of twentieth-century physics, general relativity and quantum mechanics, and it may well … Continue reading →

Special Lagrangian geometry

Posted on June 29, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Dr. Mark Haskins On a wider class of complex manifolds – the so-called Calabi-Yau manifolds – there is also a natural notion of special Lagrangian geometry. Since the late 1980s these Calabi-Yau manifolds have played a prominent role in developments … Continue reading →

The Alchemist in You?

Posted on June 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The blue image is one trajaectory of the Lorenz system with (σ, ρ, β) = (10, 28, 8/3) started from the initial point (0, 0, 1). The yellow image is for the same parameters but a different initial condition, (0, … Continue reading →

John Venn

Posted on June 17, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The early historical work can be derived from personages. Helps sometimes to illucidate the avenue and abtractions that seem only fitted for the abstract mind? Do people like to deal with such issues? I am finding that as I am … Continue reading →

The Calorimetric View?

Posted on April 28, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The Title, might seem somewhat strange, but a issue has developed for me that I see raised in the scourge of other intellectuals, who disavow the extra dimension scenario. So you have this view and you have this idea of … Continue reading →

G -> H -> … -> SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) -> SU(3) x U(1).

Posted on April 14, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Here, each arrow represents a symmetry breaking phase transition where matter changes form and the groups – G, H, SU(3), etc. – represent the different types of matter, specifically the symmetries that the matter exhibits and they are associated with … Continue reading →
