View on the Expansion of the Universe

Posted on August 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Georgi Dvali:The cosmic acceleration of the universe indicates that the laws of General Relativity get modified not only at very short but also at very large distances, Dvali says. It is this modification, and not dark energy, that is responsible … Continue reading →

More Views on the Landscape

Posted on August 23, 2005 by PlatoHagel

How would such a “landscape” bring string theory into better comprehension? The Most perfect fluid in face of strong coupling? Yet at the other end, there is no deviation? Eric Adelberger on Aug 12th, 2005 at 2:37 pm It is … Continue reading →

Observatories

Posted on August 22, 2005 by PlatoHagel

What is Sun-Earth Day? As I was reading Cliffords newest entry on Cosmic Variance site, his trip reminded me of the hike we took to see the Big Horn Medicine Wheel. Now what is interesting about this is I am … Continue reading →

Space and Time: Einstein and Beyond

Posted on August 21, 2005 by PlatoHagel

You know it’s amazing sometimes when the question in mind being put out there is not really answered right away, yet, it is strange that you ask and sure enough the right paper seems to find you. Plato said:Can this … Continue reading →

Big Horn Medicine Wheel

Posted on August 19, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I’ll put a picture here from my trip(it is taken from the board located at the site). It’s the Bighorn Medicine Wheel located by Sheridan Wyoming. It is about 9642 feet up and on Medicine Mountain. The walk was about … Continue reading →

What! Superficiality has extra dimensions to it?

Posted on August 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Sometimes I like to play, “knock knock whose there” on my head. :) Quantitative studies of future experiments to be carried out by LHC show that any signatures of missing energy can be used to probe the nature of gravity … Continue reading →

Bridging the chasm between mathematics and human culture

Posted on August 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Thanks to Peter Woit for these kinds of links. As a lay person, to see this idea exemplified by such gatherings, closes the great divide. It is wonderful in a way, when one can see where these mathematics are really … Continue reading →

How the Natural World has Been Painted

Posted on July 29, 2005 by PlatoHagel

While some are intrigued by EM waves, I have a fascination for GW and the way we can portrait the natural world, we do not see. The sounds of gravitional waves are probably too low for us to actually hear. … Continue reading →

Lee Smolin’s Case for Background Independence

Posted on July 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

While we were privy to the debate between Susskind and Smolin in a previous post, the origins and definitions have been drawn from the deeper requirements of an ideology. Where do these begin, and we find the inner compulsion of … Continue reading →
