  • KK: Kaluza Klein Theory

    What is it? KK Tower Now part of the problem of visualization here is what and how the cosmic string could have developed. Now, determination of the various sizing of these strings would have had to incorporate the value of the energy involved, in terms of 1r and using the KK tower, such classifcations help…

  • GR Reduced From Higher Dimensions?

    Earlier in my blog, I posted a subject called the Classical discription of the quantum world Now it was a big leap of faith on my part that I saw these events as distilliations of a larger and more dynamic universe that cooled to proportionl views that I had related in that post. But now,…

  • Dilation and the Cosmic String

    One such field, called the dilaton, is the master key to string theory; it determines the overall strength of all interactions. The dilaton fascinates string theorists because its value can be reinterpreted as the size of an extra dimension of space, giving a grand total of 11 spacetime dimensions According to T-duality, universes with small…

  • Catch a Wave From Space

    Imagine the journey it took for us to have come to the developement of the methods to discern the nature of the Universe, and what Einstein has done for us in terms of General Relativity. A statement, about Gravity. Imagine these great distances in space, and no way in which to speak about them other…

  • Quantum Geometry

    Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl I know I said I would post the discussion between Susskind and Smolin again for refreshing…

  • What Do We Mean When We Say "Continuum"?

    Here’s a description Albert Einstein gave on p. 83 of his Relativity: The Special and the General Theory: The surface of a marble table is spread out in front of me. I can get from any one point on this table to any other point by passing continuously from one point to a “neighboring” one,…

  • Quantum Harmonic Oscillators

    If the basis of this thinking has not emerged out of GR then what value could we have assigned zero point vibration? If the scalable features of GR could not have followed some geometrical thinking, then the world that we move too, in non-euclidean views, could have never revealled hyperdimensional thinking. Which needs a quantum…

  • Quantum Microstates: Gas Molecules in the Presence of a Gravitational Field

    Andy Strominger: This was a field theory that lived on a circle, which means it has one spatial dimension and one time dimension. We derived the fact that the quantum states of the black hole could be represented as the quantum states of this one-plus-one dimensional quantum field theory, and then we counted the states…

  • Quantum Geometricization: The Struggle

    If Lorentz symmetry is broken by some mechanism originating at the Planck scale, is there any hope of detecting such an effect? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Over the past decade Kostelecky and co-workers have been exploring how a violation of Lorentz symmetry might provide evidence for new physics arising at the Planck scale. However,…

  • No Royal Road to Geometry?

    All those who have written histories bring to this point their account of the development of this science. Not long after these men came Euclid, who brought together the Elements, systematizing many of the theorems of Eudoxus, perfecting many of those of Theatetus, and putting in irrefutable demonstrable form propositions that had been rather loosely…

  • The Man Who Knew Infinity:

    A Life of the Genius Ramanujanby Robert Kanigel Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920)In the past few decades, we have witnessed how Ramanujan’s contributions have made such a profound impact on various branches of mathematics. The book, “The man who knew infinity”, by Robert Kanigel reached out to the general public the world over by describing the fascinating…
