Space-Tearing Conifold Transitions

Posted on March 18, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Many years ago in my doodling, I created some comparisons to what I would have percieved in describing a point, line and plane. To me, I wanted to find a way to describe this point amidst a vast background of … Continue reading →

Supersymmetry

Posted on March 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world. — Nikolai Lobachevsky John Ellis: Extensions of the Standard Model often contain more discriminatory parameters, and this is certainly … Continue reading →

Stretching the Brain

Posted on March 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Pettit shakes a remarkably sturdy film of water onboard the ISS. See the full-length movie: Reel 1, Reel 2. “Observations of nature, no matter how seemingly arcane, are like peeling off one more layer from the great onion of knowledge, … Continue reading →

How many Possibilities Exist in the Now?

Posted on February 2, 2005 by PlatoHagel

What is leading our perspective in regard to what has been left in the bulk for us to consider? It is this, that roams freely and leaves for us a detailed impression about information from another time and place. Quickly … Continue reading →

Civilizations Within the Cosmo

Posted on January 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

In the recent article ‘Conflict between anthropic reasoning and observation’ (gr-qc/0303070) Ken D. Olum, using some inflation-based ideas and the anthropic premise that we should be typical among all intelligent observers in the Universe, arrives at the puzzling conclusion that … Continue reading →

Topology and Early History

Posted on January 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Part of the effort here is to outlay the idealization of what Genus figures means and the relationship to string amplitutdes. A diagram of the Königsberg bridges Topological ideas are present in almost all areas of today’s mathematics. The subject … Continue reading →

The Emergence of Time, What Lies Beneath?

Posted on January 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The intuitive classical space-time picture breaks down in quantum gravity, which makes a comparison and the development of semiclassical techniques quite complicated. Taken in context of how supersymmetrical levels could have ever been reached, is really a wonderful thnng to … Continue reading →

Quantum Gravity at Planck Length

Posted on January 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It was necessary to bring some of this infomration here while things are getting sorted out elsewhere. 6.4 Spacetime Topology Change by Joseph Polchinski This subsection is not directly related to black holes, but deals with another exotic question in … Continue reading →

Light Humour From Another

Posted on January 5, 2005 by PlatoHagel

When your feeling all alone in the dimensional world, think about Homer’s triumph:) Well, it should be obvious to even the most dim-witted individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic topology, that Homer Simpson has stumbled into… the third … Continue reading →

GR Reduced From Higher Dimensions?

Posted on January 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Earlier in my blog, I posted a subject called the Classical discription of the quantum world Now it was a big leap of faith on my part that I saw these events as distilliations of a larger and more dynamic … Continue reading →
