• # 184 Metamorphosis

    “A Nuance” can be a compelling thing for the soul as it seeks to understand why something has caught it’s attention. IN that case, I pointed out the relation to Einstein’s “early life” and the compass as an example. IN one other example, I pointed out the man who saw the geometry of his early…

  • At What "Point" does the Universe Make itself Known?

    According to the basic laws of physics, every wavelength of electromagnetic radiation corresponds to a specific amount of energy. The NIST/ILL team determined the value for energy in the Einstein equation, E = mc2, by carefully measuring the wavelength of gamma rays emitted by silicon and sulfur atoms. This, was encapsulated in a “point before…

  • Emergence: A Point in Spacetime

    We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding out that we must learn a great deal more about ‘and’.” – Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) Foundational perspectives are important to me, and are part and parcel of a larger frame of thinking that…

  • Alice and the Cosmic Ballet, Now Meet Higgins

    As Alice learned, it’s not always clear what’s a looking glass, and what’s a window to another world. Mirrors and windows are often interchangeable: we look out into the world, and see ourselves reflected back. We look at a reflection, and believe it’s showing us a world beyond. We internalize the mirror image and project…

  • Carl Jung’s Symbolical Nature?

    The mandala can also be an image of eternity cycling through time and as such images soul’s and Nature’s circular journeys, as they are reflected in, for example, the Native American Medicine Wheel, in seasonal, rebirth and karmic cycles, in mythic journeys of going out and returning changed to one’s point of origin, and in…

  • Abraham Maslow and Peak Experience

    “The worst disease afflicting human kind is hardening of the categories.” – Artist Bob Miller. Well I having been watching the topics ofCategorically Not site created. I see such fine visitations by those who have ventured into the science, asking for responsibility of mind in science, be given to society on a platform, as a…

  • Arthur Koestler and Creativity

    True creativity often starts where language ends. Arthur Koestler For those who engaged the issue of intuition, can we say that this is very close to what creativity is ,and the quote suplied above, is in essence. Is the mind, having come to a point on the Aristotlean arch, as, having fully understood, that work…

  • 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…

  • Why Higher Energies?

    I guess I don’t have to tell anyone how confusing all this stuff is and the need for a consistent picture to arise out of it. New physics beyond the standard model of particle physics and parallel universes by Rainer Plaga top-quark masses – for which the standard model predicts such a decay – cannot…

  • Mendeleev’s Table in a New Light

    Taken From the Future, to the Note book HAL2001): No, I, Robot, this is not a bad physics joke. Cruelty, is dark and matter based. Heaven is colored more empheral? Rusty, the Tin Man: Cruelity/ideas arise in other ways. From “spaces created,” for which they can manifest? “I needed “a Heart,” and so too my…

  • Warm Dark Matter

    Having a global perspective using the cyclical model, seem to open some of the ideas about the nature and geometry of this universe as mentioned in article below. I have been watching since the earlier days of the jamming session on the train, where individuals who seem to get together, seem to produce this amazing…
