  • Great Pyramid was built inside out, Frenchman says

    Man ponders shadow, or shadow ponders itself? Great Pyramid of Giza was the world’s tallest building from c. 2570 BC to c. 1300 AD.† For me, this has always been somewhat of an interest of mine. I’ll tell a little bit of why this is so as well. Give you some ideas about what the…

  • AP May Still be Useful?

    Full-sky Temperature Maps-Polarized Light-K-Band Map (23 GHz)-Credit:NASA/WMAP Science Team The color represents the strength of the polarized signal seen by WMAP – red strong/blue weak. The signal seen in these maps comes mostly from our Galaxy. It is strongest at 23 GHz, weakest at 61 and 94 GHz. This multi-frequency data is used to subtract…

  • The Perfect Sphere

    Before I begin I had to mention the following two entries below that I wanted to do but was short on time. This recording was produced by converting into audible sounds some of the radar echoes received by Huygens during the last few kilometres of its descent onto Titan. As the probe approaches the ground,…

  • The Multiverse is like a….Flower?

    Alexander Vilenkin The implications of inflation are particularly important in the context of the landscape of string theory. One of the leading researchers studying how inflationary cosmology evolves through the landscape is Alex Vilenkin, a theoretical physicist at Tufts who has been working in the field of cosmology for 25 years and is a pioneer…

  • Status of "Warp Drive"

    Time is of your own making; its clock ticks in your head. The moment you stop thought time too stops dead. Angelus Silesius The plot created here in this post in this fictional sense(?) so that I too may deal with the issues of time travel? Of course time travel is on my mind for…

  • Tunnelling in Faster then Light

    Underneath this speculation of mine is the geometrical inclination of the universe in expression. If it’s “dynamical nature is revealed” what allows us to think of why this universe at this time and junction, should be flat(?) according to the time of this universe in expression? Omega=the actual density to the critical density If we…

  • BigFoot: The Anomalistic Reality?

    The explanation of scientific development in terms of paradigms was not only novel but radical too, insofar as it gives a naturalistic explanation of belief-change. Thomas Kuhn <a href=”http://eskesthai.blogspot.com/2006/03/professors-fate-or-encouragement-to.html&#8221; target=_BLank title=”Frame from the footage filmed by Roger Patterson in October 1967 (Patterson/Gimlin, © 1968 Dahinden) at Bluff Creek, northern California. © René Dahinden/Fortean Picture Library”>…

  • String Theory Landscape

    The theory of strings predicts that the universe might occupy one random “valley” out of a virtually infinite selection of valleys in a vast landscape of possibilities Quantum Effect, however allow a manifold to change state abruptly at some point-to tunnel through the intervening ridge to a nearby lower valley. By Raphael Bousso and Joseph…

  • Emergence: A Point in Spacetime

    We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding out that we must learn a great deal more about ‘and’.” – Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) Foundational perspectives are important to me, and are part and parcel of a larger frame of thinking that…

  • Intuitive Self and Structure: My Past

    One qubit at a time by the Economist COMPUTING is about to hit a problem. In each new generation the components are smaller than they were in its predecessor, and the speed at which this miniaturisation is happening means that within 15 years or so a fundamental limit will be reached. At that point, not…

  • Writing Your Story of Creation?

    “No container is available, and the vaporization must occur in vacuum.” Wozniak With all that energy concentrated in a space about the size of an atomic nucleus, the colliding ions, for a tiny fraction of a second, will reach a temperature one hundred thousand times hotter than the core of the sun – hot enough…
