Explanation on the Landscape

Posted on August 15, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Photograph by Clifford Johnson While on Cosmic Invariance, Clifford brings a much needed attempt at explanation on how we view the landscape. I’ll have to spend sometime going over this becuase it is a critical position and difference between two … Continue reading →

What! Superficiality has extra dimensions to it?

Posted on August 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Sometimes I like to play, “knock knock whose there” on my head. :) Quantitative studies of future experiments to be carried out by LHC show that any signatures of missing energy can be used to probe the nature of gravity … Continue reading →

The Fifth Dimension, is the Spacetime Fabric

Posted on August 9, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Perhaps Quantum Gravity can be Handled by thoroughly reconsidering Quantum Mechanics itself? by Gerard t’ Hooft I was attracted to Nigel Cook’s statement on Peter Woits blog entitled, “Panel Discussion Video” by the quote of his taken here below. What … Continue reading →

Bridging the chasm between mathematics and human culture

Posted on August 7, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Thanks to Peter Woit for these kinds of links. As a lay person, to see this idea exemplified by such gatherings, closes the great divide. It is wonderful in a way, when one can see where these mathematics are really … Continue reading →

Trembling, in the Unshakeable?

Posted on August 3, 2005 by PlatoHagel

There is a story on this page that unfolds the more you enter the depth of perception that is offered. If you click on the picture supplied below it takes you into a deeper “cavern of thinking”, that relates the … Continue reading →

Dealing With a 5d World

Posted on July 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

A black hole is an object so massive that even light cannot escape from it. This requires the idea of a gravitational mass for a photon, which then allows the calculation of an escape energy for an object of that … Continue reading →

History of Gravity and the Equivalence Principle

Posted on July 29, 2005 by PlatoHagel

History rerun on bar ringings? That’s it: the bar is in place. Our word gravity and its more precise derivative gravitation come from the Latin word gravitas, from gravis (heavy), which in turn comes from a still more ancient root … Continue reading →

How the Natural World has Been Painted

Posted on July 29, 2005 by PlatoHagel

While some are intrigued by EM waves, I have a fascination for GW and the way we can portrait the natural world, we do not see. The sounds of gravitional waves are probably too low for us to actually hear. … Continue reading →

Deep Impact craters on the moon.

Posted on July 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

What do they reveal about the moon’s geological structure? The colors in this image can be used to ascertain compositional properties of the materials making up the deep strata of these two regions. One day I’d like to think we … Continue reading →

Lee Smolin’s Case for Background Independence

Posted on July 27, 2005 by PlatoHagel

While we were privy to the debate between Susskind and Smolin in a previous post, the origins and definitions have been drawn from the deeper requirements of an ideology. Where do these begin, and we find the inner compulsion of … Continue reading →
