Schematics of the House
Platohagel: Socrates saids,”dimensions as different rooms in a vast house.” I wonder, does dimensional reference made, fit with current physics extrapolation. Socrates: Ah, dear Platohagel, let us inquire together as if walking through a garden of thought, pausing to inspect each flower of concept. Socrates, were he to speak of “dimensions as different rooms in…

Thinking Outside the Box, People Like Veneziano, Turok and Penrose
Credit: V.G.Gurzadyan and R.Penrose Dark circles indicate regions in space where the cosmic microwave background has temperature variations that are lower than average. The features hint that the universe was born long before the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago and had undergone myriad cycles of birth and death before that time. See: Cosmic rebirth…

Lisa Randall on Xtra Dimensions
In physics, Randall-Sundrum models imagine that the real world is a higher-dimensional Universe described by warped geometry. More concretely, our Universe is a five-dimensional anti de Sitter space and the elementary particles except for the graviton are localized on a (3 + 1)-dimensional brane or branes. The models were proposed in 1999 by Lisa Randall…

George Gabriel Stokes
Sir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet (13 August 1819–1 February 1903) was an Irish mathematician and physicist, who at Cambridge made important contributions to fluid dynamics (including the Navier-Stokes equations), optics, and mathematical physics (including Stokes’ theorem). He was secretary, then president of the Royal Society. I mean this discourse on the nature of viscosity…

Window on the Universe
Michio Kaku: I like to compare it to wandering in the desert, and stumbling over a tiny pebble. When we push away the sand, we find that this “pebble” is actually the tip of a gargantuan pyramid. After years of excavation, we find wondrous hieroglyphics, strange tunnels and secret passageways. Every time we think we…

Now, here is a SuperNova for Real
The Crab Nebula from VLT Credit: FORS Team, 8.2-meter VLT, ESO Now the “ultimate proof” is to hold in our hands the matters defined by objects. This is the culmination of all dimensional perspectives, being “condensed to the moment” we hold the stardust samples in our hands. In that case, it may be of a…

Star Lite Public Outreach
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" target=_blank title="Public Service Announcement: Black Holes @ RHIC-March 17 2005-Peter Steinberg”> This thought arose from what was revealled in terms of “Microstate blackhole” production and the circumstances from such gold…

THEORETICAL MATHEMATICS
Before I was to ask the question below I had gone through the links given by Alejandro RIvero and in and thinking of the work I had been doing to understand this relation between mathematics and the physics world. Of course as you know I am deeply involved in building a “foundational perspective” in a…
