Comprehending New Physics?

Posted on April 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Scientists May Soon Have Evidence for Exotic Predictions of String Theory issued by Northeaster University “String theory and other possibilities can distort the relative numbers of ‘down’ and ‘up’ neutrinos,” said Jonathan Feng, associate professor in the Department of Physics … Continue reading →

Nature in Analog Models

Posted on February 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Plato: “For everyone, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” Oh! how complete our world view would be, that I have moved quickly to the very … Continue reading →

Evidence for Extra Dimensions and IceCube

Posted on February 8, 2006 by PlatoHagel

…the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed. Albert Einstein Sometimes if we paid attention enough, the neurons seem to fire appropriately and … Continue reading →

Accretion Disks

Posted on January 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“For everyone, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” Plato Lubos Motl: One of the potentially far-reaching consequences of Eva’s and Gary’s paper is that they … Continue reading →

Quark Gluon Plasma II: Strangelets

Posted on January 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

You have to follow the logic developement, which is confusing, because in one respect “Risk assessment” does not think of cosmic collisions as interesting comparisons to microstate production, yet as I travelled through the information held in context of Pierre … Continue reading →

Sea of Virtual Particles http://fermat.nap.edu/openbook/0309074061/gifmid/19.gif Who is to deny that such processes incorporated into our views of today would not have drawn the cosmologist and the deeper intracies of physics, to point to our nature and it’s beginnings in our … Continue reading →

Developement of Disbelief

Posted on November 23, 2005 by PlatoHagel

As you read, hold on to the thought about stringy/M theory developement. Richard Denton: I discovered that it was simply philosophy on its own that had played the very much larger role in the gradual erosion of belief. This is … Continue reading →

The Total Field

Posted on September 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

For me this title above strikes a cord somehow in the struggle and regard, leading in our comprehensions to the extension of the standard model. By bringing gravity into the picture and descibing the graviton teaming in the bulk of … Continue reading →

The Trigger

Posted on June 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Since there exist in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent “now” objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears therefore more natural to think of physical … Continue reading →
