Quantum Mechanics: Determinism at Planck Scale
Perhaps Quantum Gravity can be Handled by thoroughly reconsidering Quantum Mechanics itself?– Gerard t’ Hooft Albert Einstein used harmonic oscillators to understand specific heats of solids and found that energy levels are quantized. This formed one of the key bridges between classical and quantum mechanics. Can harmonic oscillators serve as a bridge between quantum mechanics…

Nodes and Anti-nodes
Tool’s for measure. The center of the gyroscope is a jewel-like sphere of fused quartz. These spheres, the size of Ping-Pong balls, are the roundest objects ever made by man. The tiny spheres are enclosed inside a housing chamber to prevent disruption from sound waves, and chilled to almost absolute zero to prevent their molecular…

Have we seen (strange) quark matter?
Well the very idea that such a thing could exist, has been part of the evolving information I had been going through. To be lead to the understanding, of what new Physics would emerge fromm cosmological and collidial events. That there are indeed showers of particles with which such events will let us know cannot…

Plato and Aristotle
Plato – holding the Timaeus – Pointing up as a sign of his metaphysical belief in the higher world of the forms, shown with the face of Leonardo. Aristotle – holding his Ethics with hand palm down, reflecting a more grounded approach to the problem of universals. I wanted to remind people of something quite…

The Blackhole as a Superfluid: It’s Viscosity
Now you must understand that thinking of any first principle is hard to refrain from, especially, if one had thought like I do, that the geometrical tendencies are inherent in the way this is handled, and that it leads to other things? “The equations of relativity fail, and new laws emerge.” saids George Musser. ”…

Laughlin, Reductionism, Emergence
I am still operating from the idea of Xtra-Dimensions. What motivating force would have brought such a quantum gravity group together and the aspect it might have spoken from? What mysterious forces motivates all these ladies/ gentlemen? Everyone knows that human societies organize themselves. But it is also true that nature organizes itself, and that…

Strings and No_Sense?
Well for me, if theorists have mathematically created a vision of things, how is it possible not to have generalized their views on what they had learnt about the theories they talk about? “Shut up and Calculate” would definitely appeal to a lot math minded there at the forefront of Cosmic Variance. But really, how…

Hidden Symmetries
I think this is one of my greatest struggles to comprehend how such a beginning could have been discerned as a supersymmetrical state, and then have symmetry breaking actions form from from it. So how do you reconcile the “vacuum state” with the idea of this “elasticity” spread throughout all space, and then have these…
