The Trigger

Posted on June 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Since there exist in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent “now” objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears therefore more natural to think of physical … Continue reading →

Why No New Einstein

Posted on June 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.. -Plato, The Republic (Book VII) The inference of dimensional attributes scares many good minds away from the matters at hand?:) Lubos Motl: The only … Continue reading →

Microstates and Gravity

Posted on May 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Strominger: That was the problem we had to solve. In order to count microstates, you need a microscopic theory. Boltzmann had one–the theory of molecules. We needed a microscopic theory for black holes that had to have three characteristics: One, … Continue reading →

Blaise Pascal

Posted on May 25, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Blaise Pascal (June 19, 1623 – August 19, 1662) Born in Clermont-Ferrand (France), the young Pascal was introduced to mathematics and physics by his father. So precocious was his talent in these disciplines that he published his innovative Essai pour … Continue reading →

Spheres Instead of Circles

Posted on May 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

This is a torus (like a doughnut) on which several circles are located. Unlike on a Euclidean plane, on this surface it is impossible to determine which circle is inside of which, since if you go from the black circle … Continue reading →

Topo-sense?

Posted on May 19, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Michael Persinger has a vision – the Almighty isn’t dead, he’s an energy field. And your mind is an electromagnetic map to your soul. Persinger’s research forays are at the very frontier of the roiling field of neuroscience, the biochemical … Continue reading →

A recipe for making strings in the lab

Posted on May 12, 2005 by PlatoHagel

All you educated people must forgive me here. I do not have the benefit, of the student and teacher relationship, yet I rely heavily on my intuitive processes. I cannot say whether for sure these are always right. IN this … Continue reading →

Visualization: Changing Perspective

Posted on May 12, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I give some perspective on “image use and artistic expression.” But such journeys are not limited to the “ideas of a book” or “a painting” in some form of geometric code. Some will remember Salvador Dali picture I posted. I … Continue reading →

The Unity of Mathematics

Posted on May 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Alain Connes Where a dictionary proceeds in a circular manner, defning 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 … Continue reading →

Gamma Ray Detection

Posted on May 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

A important point here is that there should be coincidental features in gamma ray detection, that should align with LIGO detectors? Why are two installations necessary? At least two detectors located at widely separated sites are essential for the unequivocal … Continue reading →
