What is Your Theory On Blackhole Radiation?

Posted on June 25, 2014 by PlatoHagel

MSU Professor Chris Adami has found the solution to a long-standing problem with Stephen Hawking’s black hole theory. In a groundbreaking study recently published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, Adami found that various types of information, as specific … Continue reading →

Entanglement and the Geometry of Spacetime

Posted on December 24, 2013 by PlatoHagel

Theorists have forged a connection between wormholes in spacetime (above) and a quantum phenomenon called entanglement. But how big an insight is this? It depends on whom you ask. Susskind and Maldacena note that in both papers, the original quantum … Continue reading →

Cool horizons for entangled black holes

Posted on June 15, 2013 by PlatoHagel

Schwarzschild wormholes General relativity contains solutions in which two distant black holes are connected through the interior via a wormhole, or Einstein-Rosen bridge. These solutions can be interpreted as maximally entangled states of two black holes that form a complex … Continue reading →

A Conformal Field Theory Approach?

Posted on June 15, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Using the anti–de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence to relate fermionic quantum critical fields to a gravitational problem, we computed the spectral functions of fermions in the field theory. By increasing the fermion density away from the relativistic quantum critical point, … Continue reading →

The Cross Over Point and Time Travel

Posted on May 16, 2009 by PlatoHagel

One of the issues that is evoked by any faster-than-light transport is time paradoxes: causality violations and implications of time travel. As if the faster than light issue wasn’t tough enough, it is possible to construct elaborate scenarios where faster-than-light … Continue reading →

Self Evident Dimensional Perspective

Posted on November 17, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Where a dictionary proceeds in a circular manner, defining a word by reference to another, the basic concepts of mathematics are infinitely closer to an indecomposable element”, a kind of elementary particle” of thought with a minimal amount of ambiguity … Continue reading →
