Tall Tales and Sailing Ships

Posted on October 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I am a photon, and my name is “Christopher Columbus.” Like Plato, I have taken a great adventure into the “world of possibilties” that not only encompassed the scope of man’s thinking in terms of horizons, but I enlist these … Continue reading →

What are those Quantum Microstates

Posted on October 18, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Now two points occupy my mind that hold questions as to what and how such counting can be done in terms of geometric propensity, that would allow these geometries into topological states. First point is: Lubos Motl said: We need … Continue reading →

Art and Science

Posted on October 15, 2005 by PlatoHagel

This is going to be quite the blog entry because as little a response might have been from Clifford’s links to artistic imagery and it’s relation to science. I definitely have more to say. So being short of time, the … Continue reading →

The History of Dark Matter Theory

Posted on October 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The existence of dark matter was first suggested in the early 1930’s by the Swiss physicist Fritz Zwicky who calculated that the radial velocities of eight galaxies was 400 times greater than that expected by the shared gravity of luminous … Continue reading →

Microstate Blackhole Production

Posted on October 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I thought it important that some clarity be brought to this subject. So by bringing some information together that I had been thinking about, I would blog it. Horatiu is referring to a mathematical similarity between the physics of the … Continue reading →

Some Distant Bounding Surface

Posted on October 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

I mean when I referred to fifth dimensional views you know that the computer screen includes not only it’s functionability in relation to science, but adds that bit of extended flavour to model construction we call imaging right? a) Compactifying … Continue reading →

Projective Geometries

Posted on October 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Action at a Distance Now ths statement might seem counterproductive to the ideas of projective geometry but please bear with me. In physics, action at a distance is the interaction of two objects which are separated in space with no … Continue reading →

Science and the Mind: Sir Roger Penrose

Posted on October 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Above picture, belongs to this article and titled above, of frames that Sir Roger Penrose wrote in 1999. Roger Penrose, a professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford in England, pursues an active interest in recreational math which he … Continue reading →

The Succession of thinking

Posted on October 1, 2005 by PlatoHagel

How far indeed the the imagination can be taken to see such processes enveloped in how we percieve these changes all around us. Why is gravity so weak, here and now. I have jumped ahead but will lead into it … Continue reading →
