  • Foundational Mathematics and Physics?

    I reproduce the post written below to Peter’s Quantum Gravity Commentary because that basis of determinations supported by John Baez, introduces a new line of thinking, that as a layman, forces me to think about mathematics and physics in their context. John Baez: In short: it may be less important to work on physics when…

  • On the Hypothese at the foundations of Geometry

    I am trying to make my case on the greatest physics paper over at Cosmic Variance. One notices the slight misinterpretation I assigned, “geometical propensity to physics” that the case is more then just physi,s but the limmerack added envisioned, over such a paper that leads into physics.:) I see no difference now. So I…

  • View on the Expansion of the Universe

    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 for the accelerated expansion of the universe. What Do Cosmologists want from String Theory? Dialogos…

  • More Views on the Landscape

    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 true that we are seeing an anomaly at shorter length scales but we have to…

  • Observatories

    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 not one who has had much association with such places of observatories, but far up…

  • Space and Time: Einstein and Beyond

    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 difference be as simple as, “a determination between “being discrete, and implying continuity“? Being stuck…

  • Big Horn Medicine Wheel

    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 a mile and half in and was about a 100 degrees that day. If conceived…

  • What! Superficiality has extra dimensions to it?

    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 at small distances. The predicted effects could be accessible to the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab,…

  • Bridging the chasm between mathematics and human culture

    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 quite interesting aspects of vision, that can and are related to the physics of life.…

  • Trembling, in the Unshakeable?

    There is a story on this page that unfolds the more you enter the depth of perception that is offered. If you click on the picture supplied below it takes you into a deeper “cavern of thinking”, that relates the depth of ideas that Lubos talks about, with ways in which the standard model might…

  • How the Natural World has Been Painted

    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. However, the signals that scientists hope to measure with LISA and other gravitational wave detectors…
