Raychaudhuri Equation

Posted on March 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Is it sand running through our fingers, or a taffy like substance, in symbolic form? The difference, discretium and fluidity of nature, geometrically/topologically driven, are at war with what we might interpret in time? Early on, Salvador Dali understood well … Continue reading →

Quantum Jitter

Posted on March 23, 2005 by PlatoHagel

When you look at the spacetime fabric the cosmological views makes it nice and neat for us, when we are tryng to comprehend the ripples and waves that are generated. So how, you might ask, can multiple strings make up … Continue reading →

Supersymmetry

Posted on March 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world. — Nikolai Lobachevsky John Ellis: Extensions of the Standard Model often contain more discriminatory parameters, and this is certainly … Continue reading →

Stretching the Brain

Posted on March 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Pettit shakes a remarkably sturdy film of water onboard the ISS. See the full-length movie: Reel 1, Reel 2. “Observations of nature, no matter how seemingly arcane, are like peeling off one more layer from the great onion of knowledge, … Continue reading →

So string theory is, among many other things, a theory of gravity!

Posted on March 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Daniel Kabat A picture of flux lines in QED (left) and QCD (right). Although it didn’t properly describe strong interactions, in studying string theory physicists stumbled upon an amazing mathematical structure. String theory has turned out to be far richer … Continue reading →

Nothingness?

Posted on February 28, 2005 by PlatoHagel

If you assume something always had to exist, then to me, this statement of nothingness is quite puzzling to me. The most surprising difference for the quantum case is the so-called zero-point vibration” of the n=0 ground state. This implies … Continue reading →

How many Possibilities Exist in the Now?

Posted on February 2, 2005 by PlatoHagel

What is leading our perspective in regard to what has been left in the bulk for us to consider? It is this, that roams freely and leaves for us a detailed impression about information from another time and place. Quickly … Continue reading →

Illusions and Miracles

Posted on January 19, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Abbott was certainly aware of these ideas although he did not express any interest in them. However, they must have represented some fascination to him on one level, since they raised from a different viewpoint one of his primary concerns, … Continue reading →
