Problems in Condensed Matter Physics and How String Theory Can Explain

ATLAS discovers its first new particle
String theory isn’t just another quantum field theory, another particular finite list of elementary particles with some interactions. It’s an intellectually and literally multi-dimensional reservoir of wisdom that has taught us many things of completely new kinds that we couldn’t foresee. The Reference Frame: LHC: is a new particle?: LHC: is χb(3P) a new particle?…

Superconductivity Dance Flash Mob (reposted from Dec1, 2011)
What can I say people in science seem to like to dance a lot to explain things?:) Ranging from slime molds to Alzheimer’s Disease, a new online exhibit, Emergent Universe (http://www.emergentuniverse.org) aims to encourage young people to learn about “emergence,” complex behaviors that arise from the interaction of simple parts. See: Emergent Universe –…

Point Particles and String Amplitudes
For myself understanding the dimensional relationship toward the QFT perspective of particle research and development, it has been a difficult road to understanding this relation. It is not just the idea of what transpires as we architecturally build the world\universe we live in, but to understand nature’s expression as we see the movement in the…

Solidification of Geometrical Presence
While I might infer the “attributes of Coxeter here,” it is with the understanding such a dimensional perspective which has it’s counterpart in the result of what manifests as matter creations. Yet we have taken our views down to the “powers of ten” to think of what could manifest even before we see the result…

Against Symmetry
The term “symmetry” derives from the Greek words sun (meaning ‘with’ or ‘together’) and metron (‘measure’), yielding summetria, and originally indicated a relation of commensurability (such is the meaning codified in Euclid’s Elements for example). It quickly acquired a further, more general, meaning: that of a proportion relation, grounded on (integer) numbers, and with the…

"Lead by Physics," Faces the "Trouble With Physics"
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what the universe may have looked like in the first few moments after its creation. RHIC…

What’s on the Condense Matter Theorist’s Mind?
The Theory of Everything Prof. Robert B. Laughlin The crystalline state is the simplest known example of a quantum , a stable state of matter whose generic low-energy properties are determined by a higher organizing principle and nothing else. Robert Laughlin Thre are certain perspective that are different then what reductionism has done to serves…

Numerical Relativity and Math Transference
Part of the advantage of looking at computer animations is knowing that the basis of this vision that is being created, is based on computerized methods and codes, devised, to help us see what Einstein’s equations imply. Now that’s part of the effort isn’t it, when we see the structure of math, may have also…

From the Stillness Born
Can harmonic oscillators serve as a bridge between quantum mechanics and special relativity? “Daddy, is this the World,” my young son asks, as we drive through the neighborhood with which we lived. This still sits deep in my conscious mind, as I tried to understand the scope of his vision, about reality. I looked at…
