The Singing Bowl

Posted on March 12, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Roots, and the Rings of History

Posted on February 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Nature in Analog Models

Posted on February 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

More on Dual Nature of Blackhole

Posted on February 21, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER

Posted on February 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Spacetime 101

Posted on January 24, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Here’s some basic background covering how mathematical models of space and time have evolved since ancient times, from the Pythagorean Rule to Newtonian mechanics, Special Relativity and General Relativity. For the roads leading to one’s view of the strange world … Continue reading →

Hyperspace

Posted on January 24, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Science is that human activity in which we aim to show towards nature that respect that in a democracy we endeavor to show towards each other.” There is no doubt my views are biased. For all the wrong reasons I … Continue reading →

Michael Atiyah and the Geometry

Posted on January 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Michael Atiyah: 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 … Continue reading →

The Blackhole as a Superfluid: It’s Viscosity

Posted on January 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Now you must understand that thinking of any first principle is hard to refrain from, especially, if one had thought like I do, that the geometrical tendencies are inherent in the way this is handled, and that it leads to … Continue reading →

KK Tower

Posted on January 5, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Like many people who devote their time to understanding the nature of the cosmo and the micro perspective of the world around us, these things have their own motivational packages which move to further rquired comprehensions. In that, one needs … Continue reading →
