Models Change Perceptions
“When the student is ready the Teacher appears“ Who said it first? Our attempt to justify our beliefs logically by giving reasons results in the “regress of reasons.” Since any reason can be further challenged, the regress of reasons threatens to be an infinite regress. However, since this is impossible, there must be reasons for…

What a Good String Theorist Should Know?
Arthur MillerEinstein and Schrödinger never fully accepted the highly abstract nature of Heisenberg’s quantum mechanics, says Miller. They agreed with Galileo’s assertion that “the book of nature is written in mathematics”, but they also realized the power of using visual imagery to represent mathematical symbols. I am a bit of a fanatic when it comes…

Purpose of the Compton Lecture Series
April 8The 63rd Compton Lecture Series, 2006 through June 3, 2006, 11:00 a.m. Sean at cosmic variance point to this series of lectures that are being presented each year and in this series the entitled is called, “String Theory: With a View Towards Reality” which will be presented by Nicholas Halmagyi, McCormick Fellow, Enrico Fermi…

Strangelets Do Not Exist?
I tried to follow the history as best I could, and the resulting worries earlier linked in extra links seen below, attest to the research that I followed. Can we safely say now, that strangelets do not exist? Quantum character of black holesby Adam D. Helfer Black holes are extreme manifestations of general relativity, so…

Reference was made by Sean Carroll while he is up in Toronto lecturing. Georgi Dvali NYU’S Dvali Says Change in Laws of Gravity, Not ‘Dark Energy,’ Source of Cosmic Acceleration “This is the crucial difference between the dark energy and modified gravity hypothesis, since, by the former, no observable deviation is predicted at short distances,”…

The Singing Bowl
One harmonious possibility is that string enthusiasts and loop quantum gravity aficionados are actually constructing the same theory, but from vastly different starting points-Page 490, Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene What would such gravitons in the bulk concentration mean, to those whose value might have seen sound expressed, as low and rumbling, while…

Roots, and the Rings of History
The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. Thus General Relativity may be viewed as a prediction of string theory!…

Nature in Analog Models
Plato: “For everyone, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” Oh! how complete our world view would be, that I have moved quickly to the very question of all summations given. That while “visually” occupying the mind, we had been taken…

More on Dual Nature of Blackhole
In some theories, microscopic black holes may be produced in particle collisions that occur when very-high-energy cosmic rays hit particles in our atmosphere. These mini-black-holes would decay into ordinary particles in a tiny fraction of a second and would be very difficult to observe in our atmosphere. The ATLAS Experiment offers the exciting possibility to…

SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) Some of the older, and not so old, when they hear “this title” above, do they think of Startrek’s exploits in space? As we were given “a view” of space travellers going from one end of the universe to another and as they encountered alien civilizations and such.…
