The Other Side of the Coin
Susan Holmes– Statistician Persi Diaconis’ mechanical coin flipper. In football’s inaugural kickoff coin toss, the coin is not caught but allowed to bounce on the ground. That introduces an extra complication, one mathematicians have yet to sort out. Persi Diaconis See here. The Ground State There is always an “inverse order to Gravity” that helps…

Descriptive geometry
At this point in the development, although geometry provided a common framework for all the forces, there was still no way to complete the unification by combining quantum theory and general relativity. Since quantum theory deals with the very small and general relativity with the very large, many physicists feel that, for all practical purposes,…

Where Spacetime is flat?
……A Condensative Result exists. Where “energy concentrates” and expresses outward. I mean if I were to put on my eyeglasses, and these glasses were given to a way of seeing this universe, why not look at the whole universe bathed in such spacetime fabric? This a opportunity to get “two birds” with one stone? I…

The History of Magnetic Vision
Grossmann is getting his doctorate on a topic that is connected with non-Euclidean geometry. I don’t know what it is. Einstein to Mileva Maric,1902 Animal Navigation The long-distance navigational abilities of animals have fascinated humans for centuries and challenged scientists for decades. How is a butterfly with a brain weighing less than 0.02 grams able…

Angels and Demons on a Pinhead
“Observations always involve theory.”Edwin Hubble Curvature Parameters Of course I had to point to the cosmological understanding that took us to this “geometrical understanding of things that are large.” But this is to be short, while I crunch the thoughts of the process to the pinhead. You can follow the “picture links” and learn more…

The Mathematikoi had Synesthesia?
Pythagoreanism is a term used for the esoteric and metaphysical beliefs held by Pythagoras and his followers, the Pythagoreans, who were much influenced by mathematics and probably a main inspirational source for Plato and platonism. Later resurgence of ideas similar to those held by the early Pythagoreans are collected under the term Neopythagoreanism. The Pythagoreans…

Newton’s inverse-square (1/r2) law
The standard model of particle physics is a self-contained picture of fundamental particles and their interactions. Physicists, on a journey from solid matter to quarks and gluons, via atoms and nuclear matter, may have reached the foundation level of fields and particles. But have we reached bedrock, or is there something deeper? Savas Dimopoulos While…

Cosmic ray spallation
As this NASA chart indicates, 70 percent or more of the universe consists of dark energy, about which we know next to nothing Other explanations of dark energy, called “quintessence,” originate from theoretical high-energy physics. In addition to baryons, photons, neutrinos, and cold dark matter, quintessence posits a fifth kind of matter (hence the name),…

Against Symmetry
The term “symmetry” derives from the Greek words sun (meaning ‘with’ or ‘together’) and metron (‘measure’), yielding summetria, and originally indicated a relation of commensurability (such is the meaning codified in Euclid’s Elements for example). It quickly acquired a further, more general, meaning: that of a proportion relation, grounded on (integer) numbers, and with the…
