Is Special Relativity Wrong?

Posted on January 21, 2005 by PlatoHagel

New Physics? Possible violations of Lorentz invariance are an ideal signal of new physics because nothing in the Standard Model of particle physics permits the violation of special relativity. Therefore, no conventional process could ever mimic or cover up a … Continue reading →

Domains walls and Interconnecting Loops

Posted on January 12, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It seems wellness is coming back in full force:) so I thought I would take some advice. This paragraph below italizied, and the one related to Chen for consideration, in terms of the abtract world that topological consideration, might have … Continue reading →

Mirror Symmetry and Chirality?

Posted on December 19, 2004 by PlatoHagel

What is the mathematical reasoning, for reducing GR down to the quantum world? How would these application be considered in a supersymmetrical world? Is the figure-eight knot the same knot as its mirror-image? The property of “being the same as … Continue reading →

Dilation and the Cosmic String

Posted on December 19, 2004 by PlatoHagel

One such field, called the dilaton, is the master key to string theory; it determines the overall strength of all interactions. The dilaton fascinates string theorists because its value can be reinterpreted as the size of an extra dimension of … Continue reading →

=> A Symmetry Breaking Phase Transition

Posted on December 2, 2004 by PlatoHagel

If we understand what that point suggests, we understand well what the planck length has told us to consider, that even for the briefest of moment, the gamma ray burst would have revealled the CMB in its glory, and slowly … Continue reading →

Mapping Quark Confinement and The Energy

Posted on December 2, 2004 by PlatoHagel

As I moved through the thinking of those extra dimensions it became apparent to me that the conceptualization of that distance scale was a strange world indeed. How, if we had accept the move to non-euclidean views could we not … Continue reading →

Gravity and Light in the Fifth Dimension

Posted on December 1, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Theodor Franz Eduard Kaluza November 9, 1885 – January 19, 1954 In Kaku’s preface of Hyperspace, page ix, we find a innocent enough statement that helps us orientate a view that previous to all understanding, is counched in the work … 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 →

Bubble Nucleation

Posted on November 25, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Based on the no boundary proposal, I picture the origin of the universe, as like the formation of bubbles of steam in boiling water. Quantum fluctuations lead to the spontaneous creation of tiny universes, out of nothing. Most of the … Continue reading →

The Looking Glast

Posted on November 15, 2004 by PlatoHagel

To test the claim, Gninenko has proposed a new experiment at CERN. He and his colleagues would confine orthopositronium to a sensitive heat-measuring device, called a calorimeter. The device would be under a strict vacuum to isolate its contents from … Continue reading →
