The Sound of the Landscape

Posted on December 29, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK As you know my name is Plato (The School of Athens by Raphael:)I have lived on for many years now, in the ideas that are presented in the ideas of R Buckminister Fuller, and with the … Continue reading →

The Gravity For Instance Varies with Time

Posted on December 23, 2004 by PlatoHagel

There was some reference made in regards to Lubos and the post Santos quoted from, Superstrings, a Theory of Everything? by P.C.W Davies and J. Brown. The idea of the quote about ole men and how things change, seemed to … Continue reading →

Hodge Conjecture

Posted on December 21, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Interplay between geometry and topology. One of the things that I am having difficulty with is if I understood the idea of a cosmic string. The understanding would have to imply that the higher dimensions would reveal themselves within the … Continue reading →

Curvature Parameters

Posted on December 14, 2004 by PlatoHagel

How does get this intuitive feeling embedded within thinking if it has not grokked the significance on a cosmological scale? When one first begins to comprehend the intuitive possibilities the universe can move through, I was was struck, by the … Continue reading →

What is the Ultimate Theory of Physics?

Posted on December 13, 2004 by PlatoHagel

It is always very interesting for me to try and understand how such short distances could have begun to have some visual world possibilities? When mathematics begins to develope a method to describing that same small world. Shahn Majid’s research … Continue reading →

THE ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE

Posted on December 9, 2004 by PlatoHagel

The String Theory Landscape, by Raphael Bousso and Joseph Polchinski Given the success of replacing the gravitational force with the dynamics of space and time, why not seek a geometric explanation for the other forces of nature and even for … Continue reading →

Quantum Geometry

Posted on December 9, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl I … Continue reading →

What Do We Mean When We Say "Continuum"?

Posted on December 7, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Here’s a description Albert Einstein gave on p. 83 of his Relativity: The Special and the General Theory: The surface of a marble table is spread out in front of me. I can get from any one point on this … Continue reading →

The Elastic Nature?

Posted on December 5, 2004 by PlatoHagel

As I have explained in a earlier link I am fascinated by the images of bubbles that were demonstrated through a way of thinking of the early universe to arise as Bubble Nucleation. These images all show the 2-, 3-, … Continue reading →

Inverse Fourth Power Law

Posted on December 3, 2004 by PlatoHagel

By moving our perceptions to fifth dimenisonal views of Kaluza and KLein, I looked at methods that would help me explain that strange mathematical world that I had been lead too geometrically. If such a bulk existed, then how would … Continue reading →
