Gravitational Wave Detectors are Best Described as "Sounds."

Posted on August 21, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Weber developed an experiment using a large suspended bar of aluminum, with a high resonant Q at a frequency of about 1 kH; the oscillation of the bar after it had been excited could be measured by a series of … Continue reading →

BigFoot: The Anomalistic Reality?

Posted on August 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Clifford and The Singularity

Posted on July 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Horatiu is referring to a mathematical similarity between the physics of the real world, which govern RHIC collisions, and the physics that scientists use to describe a theoretical, “imaginary” black hole in a hypothetical world with a different number of … Continue reading →

In regards to the QGP(Quark Gluon Plasma) I thought such a creation important from the ideas of what happens in assessing any beginning? <a href="http://qd.typepad.com/5/2005/03/public_service_.html&quot; target=_blank title="Public Service Announcement: Black Holes @ RHIC-March 17 2005-Peter Steinberg”> This thought arose from … Continue reading →

GRand Quantum Conjecture

Posted on July 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

My continued looked into the “fluids dynamics” had me wonder about the superfluid anomalies. How would the “sphere look” if it collapsed and allowed information to travel through it, based on what has been given here for perspective, when the … Continue reading →

Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity?

Posted on June 19, 2006 by PlatoHagel

There’s a place from which nothing escapes, not even light, where time and space literally come to end. It’s at this point, inside this fantastic riddle, that black holes exert their sway over the cosmos … and our imaginations. Dialogos … Continue reading →

The Fate of our Planet?

Posted on June 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Clifford at cosmic variance addresses a fundamental question about the need(?) to populate other planets, versus exploring? Clifford: And it would be nice if we did the exploration primarily out of curiosity and wonder, and not out of fear for … Continue reading →

High Energy Particle Creations: PLacing the Universe into Perspective?

Posted on June 9, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“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 and Astronomy at UC Irvine. “For example, extra dimensions may cause neutrinos to create microscopic … Continue reading →

Pattern Recognition

Posted on May 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Strominger: That was the problem we had to solve. In order to count microstates, you need a microscopic theory. Boltzmann had one–the theory of molecules. We needed a microscopic theory for black holes that had to have three characteristics: One, … Continue reading →
