Higgs Field as a Pheromone?

Posted on August 26, 2008 by PlatoHagel

I am lead by science. Just so you know at what scale most certain and in this, the analogy ensues. “A Biologist Remembers (1967)1 Karl Ritter von Frisc wrote about his life’s work: The layman may wonder why a biologist … Continue reading →

Higgs Mass and Current Issues

Posted on January 9, 2008 by PlatoHagel

For example, theory says that Higgs particles are matter particles, but in most respects the Higgs behaves more like a new force than like a particle. How can this be? In truth, the Higgs is neither matter nor force; the … Continue reading →

Blackhole Horizon, "as a Hill?"

Posted on April 2, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Physically, the effect can be interpreted as an object moving from the “false vacuum” (where = 0) to the more stable “true vacuum” (where = v). Gravitationally, it is similar to the more familiar case of moving from the hilltop … Continue reading →
