No Royal Road to Geometry?

All those who have written histories bring to this point their account of the development of this science. Not long after these men came Euclid, who brought together the Elements, systematizing many of the theorems of Eudoxus, perfecting many of … Continue reading

The Six Men and the Elephant

I’d like to embrace all those who are attempting to speak in regards to quantum gravity. This is a common poem, that reflects the efforts and differing perspectives at trying to descibe a world that is very much in the … Continue reading

Mathematicians and Physicists Do is Perhaps Like Sculpture

“Science is that human activity in which we aim to show towards nature that respect that in a democracy we endeavor to show towards each other.” Smolin then goes on to write something interesting here. Many would have interpreted the … Continue reading

Quantum Gravity

Here is one of two methods that help explain. The next post will follow tomorrow if I have time. The complexity of the pictures involved is linked down below in Fig 15-17. This will give some generalizations that I had … Continue reading

Is Line , Hook and Sinker, Dimensionally Leading to Soul Food?

Oskar Klein (left) proposed in the 1920s that hidden spatial dimensions might influence observed physics. He poses with physicists George Uhlenbeck (middle) and Samuel Goudsmit in 1926 at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands. AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives I … Continue reading

There was Light

Maxwell’s equations are also about half an inch long. For example, Maxwell’s equations say that the “four-dimensional divergence of an antisymmetric, second-rank tensor equals zero.” That’s Maxwell’s equations, the equations for light. And in fact, at Berkeley, you can buy … Continue reading

A Quantum-Mechanical Discription of Gravity

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

Mass Transfer to Blackhole

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

Holography and Dimensional Relevance

Holography encodes the information in a region of space onto a surface one dimension lower. It sees to be the property of gravity, as is shown by the fact that the area of th event horizon measures the number of … Continue reading

Quantum Gravity Models

PLato saids,”Look to the perfection of the heavens for truth,” while Aristotle saids “look around you at what is if you would know the truth” Quantum Gravity I guess we have a choice here? Between the models of what would … Continue reading
