Donald Coxeter: The Man Who Saved Geometry

Posted on September 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“I’m a Platonist — a follower of Plato — who believes that one didn’t invent these sorts of things, that one discovers them. In a sense, all these mathematical facts are right there waiting to be discovered.”Harold Scott Macdonald (H. … Continue reading →

Window on the Universe

Posted on September 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Michio Kaku: I like to compare it to wandering in the desert, and stumbling over a tiny pebble. When we push away the sand, we find that this “pebble” is actually the tip of a gargantuan pyramid. After years of … Continue reading →

Quantum Hall Effect

Posted on September 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

This article below was set in motion by Stefan’s article,”Pencils, Black Holes, and the Klein Paradox”, at Backreaction. B will have to offer her perspective on the blackhole analogy. I offer mine.:) The fractional quantum Hall effect continues to be … Continue reading →

Undercut Philosophical basis , "What have you?"

Posted on September 6, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In “Beyond the dance of the sun” I show what we take for granted from a “observational standpoint,” and try to increase perception, based on the quantum views. Is mathematics Invented or Discovered? “Philosophy In The Flesh” LAKOFF: When you … Continue reading →

A Constant that Isn’t Constant?

Posted on August 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Now I am wrting this because some are persistent about the speed of light. I have looked at this and tried to accompany this thinking with actual work that has been put out there, and that has developed along these … Continue reading →

Gold and Fool’s Gold

Posted on July 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Gold Perhaps the highest density known is reached in neutron star matter (see neutronium). The singularity at the centre of a black hole, according to general relativity, does not have any volume, so its density is undefined. The most dense … Continue reading →

THEORETICAL MATHEMATICS

Posted on June 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Before I was to ask the question below I had gone through the links given by Alejandro RIvero and in and thinking of the work I had been doing to understand this relation between mathematics and the physics world. Of … Continue reading →

Supersymmetry<->Simplistically<-> Entropically Designed?

Posted on June 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

So of course I am troubled by my inexperience, as well as, the interests of what could have been produced in the “new computers” of the future? So in some weird sense how would you wrap the dynamics of what … Continue reading →

Types of Blogging Software

Posted on June 5, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Ask yourself this? What is the new kernel to be, if we had for one moment presented the opportunities for the using Riemann hypothesis, and contained the very idea as a philosophy presented within this blog? A VIEW OF MATHEMATICS … Continue reading →
