Symmetry and Symmetry Breaking

Posted on February 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Harmonices Mundi <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler&quot; target=_blank title="Harmonice Mundi (Latin: Harmony of the Worlds, 1619) is a book by Johannes Kepler. It attempts to explain proportions and geometry in planetary motions by relating them to musical scales and intervals. According to Kepler, … Continue reading →

KK: Kaluza Klein Theory

Posted on January 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

What is it? KK Tower Now part of the problem of visualization here is what and how the cosmic string could have developed. Now, determination of the various sizing of these strings would have had to incorporate the value of … Continue reading →

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 →

Searching for Changes in the Fine-Structure Constant Using Atomic Clocks

Posted on November 27, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Another laser beam is used to make the atoms fluoresce, and the amount of fluorescence is measured as a function of the microwave frequency to plot a “resonance curve”. An ultra-precise measurement of time can be made by measuring the … Continue reading →

The Cosmic String

Posted on November 24, 2004 by PlatoHagel

It was important for me to recognize the microcosmic view, could have been united with cosmological proportions, and revealled structural integrity to the way in which the universe was formed. If such views were manifesting from planck Epoch realizations, then … Continue reading →

Predictability with Numbers in Resonantial Features

Posted on November 20, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Butterflies can cause hurricanes, according to the classical theory of chaos. But what happens when chaos encounters the quantum world? Manjul Bhargava: An Artist of Music and Math So where has Alice Gone? With some certainty I understood that gamma … Continue reading →

A Quantum-Mechanical Discription of Gravity

Posted on November 17, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I do not know how much more generalized these views could have become from those who now look to what the physicists and theoreticians are doing in their questions for explaining the nature of the reality we are encountering. If … Continue reading →

Longitudinal and Transverse Information about the Energy Deposition Pattern

Posted on November 15, 2004 by PlatoHagel

The calorimeter design for GLAST produces flashes of light that are used to determine how much energy is in each gamma-ray. A calorimeter (“calorie-meter”) is a device that measures the energy (heat: calor) of a particle when it is totally … Continue reading →

The Looking Glast

Posted on November 15, 2004 by PlatoHagel

To test the claim, Gninenko has proposed a new experiment at CERN. He and his colleagues would confine orthopositronium to a sensitive heat-measuring device, called a calorimeter. The device would be under a strict vacuum to isolate its contents from … Continue reading →

Mass Transfer to Blackhole

Posted on November 14, 2004 by PlatoHagel

This image is very strong in mind as I read Smolins discriptions of the thing?:) Consider any physical system, made of anything at all- let us call it, The Thing. We require only that The Thing can be enclosed within … Continue reading →
