Duchamp’s Fountain
Duchamp~ Artmaking is making the invisible, visible. See: Marcel Duchamps’s Fountain: It’s History and Aesthetics in Context of 1917 by William Camfield Click on Image The extended understanding for me of Duchamp as an artist was always in context of the cubists revelation as an evolution of Quantum Gravity displayed in a Monte Carlo demonstration…

Who Has Forgotten the Child’s Question?
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 wanting to be “there” and having to sit a long time before this is even…

Perspective of the Theoretical Scientist
Most people think of “seeing” and “observing” directly with their senses. But for physicists, these words refer to much more indirect measurements involving a train of theoretical logic by which we can interpret what is “seen.”– Lisa Randall There are certain advantages to the theoretical perspective that can best portray the concepts of the world…

Different Approaches to a 5d world
Smolin: And there are published predictions for observable Planck scale deviations from energy momentum relations[22, 23] that imply predictions for experiments in progress such as AUGER and GLAST. [B]For those whose interest is more towards formal speculations concerning supersymmetry and higher dimensions than experiment, there are also results that show how the methods of loop…

DNA Computing
DNA computing is a form of computing which uses DNA, biochemistry and molecular biology, instead of the traditional silicon-based computer technologies. DNA computing, or, more generally, molecular computing, is a fast developing interdisciplinary area. Research and development in this area concerns theory, experiments and applications of DNA computing See:DNA computing *** Clifford of Asymptotia is…

What Good are Mathematics in the Real World?
Came across this article at Clifford of Asymptotia blog( doesn’t this have an “ole English sound” to it?:). Clifford writes: The first article? It’s a discussion of some of the things I’ve been telling you about in recent times. Applications of string theory to various pieces of physics in a wider realm of physics than…

Stargazers and Hill Climbers
AS with Einstein, who was Socrates daemon?:) In Plato’s Apology of Socrates, Socrates claimed to have a daimonion (literally, a “divine something”)[6] that frequently warned him – in the form of a “voice” – against mistakes but never told him what to do See:Fullerane and Allotropes Some may even call “hills” mountains. Depends on where…

Configuration Space
Lee Smolin: For Newton the universe lived in an infinite and featureless space.There was no boundary, ad no possibility of conceiving anything outside of it. This was no problem for God, as he was everywhere. For Newton, space was the “sensorium” of God-the medium of his presence in and attachment to the world. The infinity…

The center and the whole-what it means?
If conceived as a series of ever-wider experiential contexts, nested one within the other like a set of Chinese boxes, consciousness can be thought of as wrapping back around on itself in such a way that the outermost ‘context’ is indistinguishable from the innermost ‘content’ – a structure for which we coined the term ‘liminocentric’.…
