Raphael the Painter

Posted on October 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

By ‘dilating’ and ‘expanding’ the scope of our attention we not only discover that ‘form is emptiness’ (the donut has a hole), but also that ’emptiness is form’ (objects precipitate out of the larger ‘space’) – to use Buddhist terminology. … Continue reading →

The Radius of the Little Circle

Posted on October 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Where a dictionary proceeds in a circular manner, defining a word by reference to another, the basic concepts of mathematics are infinitely closer to an indecomposable element”, a kind of elementary particle” of thought with a minimal amount of ambiguity … Continue reading →

CP Violation

Posted on October 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The value of non-Euclidean geometry lies in its ability to liberate us from preconceived ideas in preparation for the time when exploration of physical laws might demand some geometry other than the Euclidean. Bernhard Riemann ON a macroscale the blackhole … Continue reading →

Allotropes and the Ray of Creation

Posted on September 19, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Just thinking here about “life” in general and dreaming. As well, this takes us back to the article from Backreaction. This post was generated in response to Q’s comment and my subsequent statements that I supplied in turn. Take “full … Continue reading →

Coxeter and Plato’s Cave

Posted on September 12, 2006 by PlatoHagel

IN Beyond the Dance of the Sun I give an image of Plato’s Cave for consideration, about dimensinal perspectve. This is not only held in my mind in terms of what free people are chained in their perspectives, but I … Continue reading →

Donald Coxeter: The Man Who Saved Geometry

Posted on September 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“I’m a Platonist — a follower of Plato — who believes that one didn’t invent these sorts of things, that one discovers them. In a sense, all these mathematical facts are right there waiting to be discovered.”Harold Scott Macdonald (H. … Continue reading →

Window on the Universe

Posted on September 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Michio Kaku: I like to compare it to wandering in the desert, and stumbling over a tiny pebble. When we push away the sand, we find that this “pebble” is actually the tip of a gargantuan pyramid. After years of … Continue reading →

Quantum Hall Effect

Posted on September 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

This article below was set in motion by Stefan’s article,”Pencils, Black Holes, and the Klein Paradox”, at Backreaction. B will have to offer her perspective on the blackhole analogy. I offer mine.:) The fractional quantum Hall effect continues to be … Continue reading →

Undercut Philosophical basis , "What have you?"

Posted on September 6, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In “Beyond the dance of the sun” I show what we take for granted from a “observational standpoint,” and try to increase perception, based on the quantum views. Is mathematics Invented or Discovered? “Philosophy In The Flesh” LAKOFF: When you … Continue reading →
