• Unified Reality Theory

    Unus mundus, Latin for “one world”, is the concept of an underlying unified reality from which everything emerges and to which everything returns. There is an inclination for one to try and tie everything together. I have mentioned Jim Gates and used him as an example. In the quote above, this may have been Jung’s…

  • Visualizations are Important

    Figure 1: Artist’s conception of AdS/CFT. The evolution of the proton at differentlength scales is mapped into the compact AdS5 dimension z. Dirichlet bag-like boundarycondition,     (z)jz=z0 = 0, is imposed at the confinement radius z = z0 = 1= QCD,thus limiting interquark separations.   String theorists describe the physics of black holes in five-dimensional…

  • A Deeper Search for Building Blocks of Nature

    National High Magnetic Field Laboratory The strange properties of superconducting materials called “cuprates” (bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide is shown here), which cannot be described by known quantum mechanical methods, may correspond to properties of black holes in higher dimensions. According to modern quantum theory, energy fields permeate the universe, and flurries of energy in…

  • Computational Dilemma

    Riemannian Geometry, also known as elliptical geometry, is the geometry of the surface of a sphere. It replaces Euclid’s Parallel Postulate with, “Through any point in the plane, there exists no line parallel to a given line.” A line in this geometry is a great circle. The sum of the angles of a triangle in…

  • Illusions of Grandeur?

    Illusions of Gravity Three spatial dimensions are visible all around us–up/down, left/right, forward/backward. Add time to the mix, and the result is a four-dimensional blending of space and time known as spacetime. Thus, we live in a four-dimensional universe. Or do we? Amazingly, some new theories of physics predict that one of the three dimensions…

  • Plato’s Cave(Animated Version)

    *** Hyperreality is used in semiotics and postmodern philosophy to describe a hypothetical inability of consciousness to distinguish reality from fantasy, especially in technologically advanced postmodern cultures. Hyperreality is a means to characterize the way consciousness defines what is actually “real” in a world where a multitude of media can radically shape and filter an…

  • A Holograpical Universe

    Plato likened our view of the world to that of an ancient forebear watching shadows meander across a dimly lit cave wall. He imagined our perceptions to be but a faint inkling of a far richer reality that flickers beyond reach. Two millennia later, Plato’s cave may be more than a metaphor. To turn his…
