Projective Geometries

Posted on October 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Action at a Distance Now ths statement might seem counterproductive to the ideas of projective geometry but please bear with me. In physics, action at a distance is the interaction of two objects which are separated in space with no … Continue reading →

On mathematics, imagination & the beauty of numbers

Posted on October 1, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It’s always nice to see this kind of infomration, because indeed if one were to start later on in life, then why not learn new things like mathematics. Especially, if it seems to be thta there is some consistancy in … Continue reading →

Dirac’s Hidden Geometries

Posted on September 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I find this interesting because I like to visualizze as much as possible, and I sometimes think the basis of the leading ideas in science would had to follow a progression. Klein’s Ordering of Geometries was one such road that … Continue reading →

Foundational Mathematics and Physics?

Posted on September 5, 2005 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

UV Fixed Point

Posted on September 2, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Clifford draws our attention to further talks here in his post and directs us to what Jacque Distler has to say. I must say this is a refreshing look with Jacques contribution to further the layman point of view. Such … Continue reading →
