Main Stream Breakthrough on Cosmic Variance
linked in title of article of same name, by Sean Carroll A Randall/Sundrum view of the cosmos The trick in this picture supplied by Sean is to look at the ideas of gravitonic concentrations, as these would be leading to the range from weak field manifestation to high energy strong concentrations. Such a variance is…

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…

Strings: The First Three Seconds
I didn’t want to invoke God here, but in any “flash” is there not some pattern that mathematically needed to describe the way everything began? A word, or sound? An equation means nothing to me unless it expresses a thought of God.Srinivasa Ramanujan Before the BeginningInterview with Sir Martin Rees, Part 2 Helen Matsos (HM):…

Some Distant Bounding Surface
I mean when I referred to fifth dimensional views you know that the computer screen includes not only it’s functionability in relation to science, but adds that bit of extended flavour to model construction we call imaging right? a) Compactifying a 3-D universe with two space dimensions and one time dimension. This is a simplification…

From Strings to Cosmic Web
From November 30 to December 2 a conference will be held in Groningen about the origins and structure of the Universe. Astrophysicists will meet theoretical physicists, whereby astrophysical evidence for the fundamental parameters describing the Universe will be confronted with current ideas on fundamental physical laws. Dialogos of Eide

Explanation on the Landscape
Photograph by Clifford Johnson While on Cosmic Invariance, Clifford brings a much needed attempt at explanation on how we view the landscape. I’ll have to spend sometime going over this becuase it is a critical position and difference between two facets of thinking within the scientific community. Susskind and Lee Smolin have lead this discussion…

STRINGS ’05 PUBLIC LECTURES
Peter Woit: Dijkgraaf’s talk was completely standard string evangelism, and except for a couple slides mentioning D-branes and black holes, could easily have been given, completely unchanged, twenty years ago. Sometimes if you do not do this assessment for the general public, and make correct the way in which a Peter Woit, Robbert Dijkgraaf or…

Kilometric Radiation?
So we use physics in ways to change the way we see? Here are some examles from the Cassini Project and Wikipedia. Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) is a direct sensing instrument that measures the energy and electrical charge of particles such as electrons and protons that the instrument encounters. CAPS…

The Black Hole Final State
Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl It was a nice vacation and now being back, I see Lubos is clarifying some issues…

"Lightening," as Strings, Strike?
With a “supersymmetrical realization” capable of being disemminated in the brain? What could have manifested from it’s beginning? To have nature exemplify this greater potential “for new airs to breath life ” into other possibilties of minds constructs “real objects” and “things”? Are the brain matters limited in terms of this new math? A perspective…
