Lisa Randall on Xtra Dimensions

Posted on November 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

The Radius of the Little Circle

Posted on October 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Where a dictionary proceeds in a circular manner, defining a word by reference to another, the basic concepts of mathematics are infinitely closer to an indecomposable element”, a kind of elementary particle” of thought with a minimal amount of ambiguity … Continue reading →

Box Counting or "Points" on the Strings Length?

Posted on October 9, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory … Continue reading →

Historical Approach of the Sand Reckoner

Posted on September 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I should pave the way for how the thoughts that are unfolding this morning. But nothing afflicted Marcellus so much as the death of Archimedes, who was then, as fate would have it, intent upon working out some problem by … Continue reading →

A Philosophical Juggernaut

Posted on September 17, 2006 by PlatoHagel

GRACE is the first ESSP mission. It will obtain the most precise measurements of Earth’s gravitational field that have ever been obtained. Improved resolution of the gravity field will lead to important advances in a number of disciplines that study … Continue reading →

Now, here is a SuperNova for Real

Posted on September 1, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

A Constant that Isn’t Constant?

Posted on August 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Now I am wrting this because some are persistent about the speed of light. I have looked at this and tried to accompany this thinking with actual work that has been put out there, and that has developed along these … Continue reading →

BigFoot: The Anomalistic Reality?

Posted on August 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The explanation of scientific development in terms of paradigms was not only novel but radical too, insofar as it gives a naturalistic explanation of belief-change. Thomas Kuhn <a href="http://eskesthai.blogspot.com/2006/03/professors-fate-or-encouragement-to.html&quot; target=_BLank title="Frame from the footage filmed by Roger Patterson in October … Continue reading →

Star Lite Public Outreach

Posted on July 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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&quot; target=_blank title="Public Service Announcement: Black Holes @ RHIC-March 17 2005-Peter Steinberg”> This thought arose from … Continue reading →
