String Theory Landscape

Posted on August 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The theory of strings predicts that the universe might occupy one random “valley” out of a virtually infinite selection of valleys in a vast landscape of possibilities Quantum Effect, however allow a manifold to change state abruptly at some point-to … Continue reading →

What is the False Vacuum?

Posted on July 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Quantum Field Theory Quantum Vacuum: In classical physics, empty space is called the vacuum. The classical vacuum is utterly featureless. However, in quantum theory, the vacuum is a much more complex entity. The uncertainty principle allows virtual particles (each corresponding … Continue reading →

Alice and the Cosmic Ballet, Now Meet Higgins

Posted on July 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As Alice learned, it’s not always clear what’s a looking glass, and what’s a window to another world. Mirrors and windows are often interchangeable: we look out into the world, and see ourselves reflected back. We look at a reflection, … Continue reading →

GRand Quantum Conjecture

Posted on July 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

My continued looked into the “fluids dynamics” had me wonder about the superfluid anomalies. How would the “sphere look” if it collapsed and allowed information to travel through it, based on what has been given here for perspective, when the … Continue reading →

Science Mathmatically Endowed?

Posted on June 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Approaches to the Quantum Theory of Gravity by the PI Institute Two methods evolved in the theory of elementary particles to describe such quantized flux tubes. The one, called the loop method, studies them using the basic laws of electricity … Continue reading →

What is the Observer’s Reality?

Posted on April 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“Death, so called, is but older matter dressedIn some new form. And in a varied vest,From tenement to tenement though tossed,The soul is still the same, the figure only lost.” Poem on Pythagoras, Dryden’s Ovid. When your given a certain … Continue reading →

Quantum Mechanics: Determinism at Planck Scale

Posted on April 6, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Perhaps Quantum Gravity can be Handled by thoroughly reconsidering Quantum Mechanics itself?– Gerard t’ Hooft Albert Einstein used harmonic oscillators to understand specific heats of solids and found that energy levels are quantized. This formed one of the key bridges … Continue reading →

Roots, and the Rings of History

Posted on February 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory … Continue reading →

Nature in Analog Models

Posted on February 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Plato: “For everyone, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” Oh! how complete our world view would be, that I have moved quickly to the very … Continue reading →
