  • Early Universe Formation

    An Energy of Empty Space? Einstein was the first person to realize that empty space is not nothingness. Space has amazing properties, many of which are just beginning to be understood. The first property of space that Einstein discovered is that more space can actually come into existence. Einstein’s gravity theory makes a second prediction:…

  • Big Bang:One Man’s Change of Heart

    Thanks Paul One definitely needs some perspective around this and how such information is given. I refer here for consideration, about perspective, and how it can be exploited for further consideration on what is emitted, and what manifests in weak gravitational field measure, as neutrino effects(quantum gravity). Microperspective and methods of examination, raise the issue…

  • General Relativity

    I took GR because I thought Neil Turok was dreeeamy. Well I dunno? He certainly got me thinking about brane world collisions, along with steinhardt, that’s for sure. We are most certainly dealing with a cosmological placement here with General relativity, but has been extended, as we look at string/M theoretical successes. You had to…

  • Warped Field Creates Lensing

    The statement of this post, is distilled from the collaboration of some of the images to follow. In cosmic string developement there are these three points to consider. 1. Cosmological expansion 2. Intercommuting and Loop Production 3. Radiation I am always looking for this imagery that helps define further what gravitational lensing might have signified…

  • Quantum Microstates: Gas Molecules in the Presence of a Gravitational Field

    Andy Strominger: This was a field theory that lived on a circle, which means it has one spatial dimension and one time dimension. We derived the fact that the quantum states of the black hole could be represented as the quantum states of this one-plus-one dimensional quantum field theory, and then we counted the states…

  • Cycle of Birth, Life, and Death-Origin, Indentity, and Destiny by Gabriele Veneziano

    Was the big bang really the beginning of time? Or did the universe exist before then? Such a question seemed almost blasphemous only a decade ago. Most cosmologists insisted that it simply made no sense – that to contemplate a time before the big bang was like asking for directions to a place north of…
