Holography and Dimensional Relevance

Posted on November 6, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Holography encodes the information in a region of space onto a surface one dimension lower. It sees to be the property of gravity, as is shown by the fact that the area of th event horizon measures the number of … Continue reading →

Physical Reality as a Four Dimensional Existence

Posted on November 4, 2004 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 →

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

Posted on November 3, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Let us see how these great physicists used harmonic oscillators to establish beachheads to new physics. Albert Einstein used harmonic oscillators to understand specific heats of solids and found that energy levels are quantized. This formed one of the key … Continue reading →

Compactifying a 3-D universe with two space dimensions and one time dimension.

Posted on November 3, 2004 by PlatoHagel

How do we learn to deal with these abstract spaces, but to have considered the following: (a) Compactifying a 3-D universe with two space dimensions and one time dimension. This is a simplification of the 5-D space­time considered by Theodor … Continue reading →

5th Dimensional Field Equations

Posted on November 1, 2004 by PlatoHagel

http://www.tech.port.ac.uk/staffweb/seahras/images/Kaluza.jpeg In 1919, Kaluza sent Albert Einstein a preprint — later published in 1921 — that considered the extension of general relativity to five dimensions. He assumed that the 5-dimensional field equations were simply the higher-dimensional version of the vacuum … Continue reading →
