Gravity and Light in the Fifth Dimension

Theodor Franz Eduard Kaluza November 9, 1885 – January 19, 1954 In Kaku’s preface of Hyperspace, page ix, we find a innocent enough statement that helps us orientate a view that previous to all understanding, is counched in the work … Continue reading

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 Man Who Knew Infinity:

A Life of the Genius Ramanujanby Robert Kanigel Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920)In the past few decades, we have witnessed how Ramanujan’s contributions have made such a profound impact on various branches of mathematics. The book, “The man who knew infinity”, by … 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

Plato as a City Slicker

You all know the saying of this one thing, right? The rest of the Republic answers this challenge. It does so by way of an analogy. Socrates says that it is difficult to distinguish what is going on in the … Continue reading

Are Strings as Spacetime an Emergent Phenomena?

One thing I can tell you, though, is that most string theorist’s suspect that spacetime is a emergent Phenomena in the language of condensed matter physics. Above Witten asks a legitmate question, and so does Gerard t’Hooft as shown in … Continue reading

Pythagoras Could be Called the First Known String Theorist

Pythagoras could be called the first known string theorist. Pythagoras, an excellent lyre player, figured out the first known string physics — the harmonic relationship. Pythagoras realized that vibrating Lyre strings of equal tensions but different lengths would produce harmonious … Continue reading

Plato: Mathematics Would Reveal the Structure of the World

We should ask why Plato’s theory is so progressive, why Aristotle’s is so archaic, and why Plato is usually given so little credit for his theory. The answer to all these is the same: Plato comes up with this kind … Continue reading
