Is Special Relativity Wrong?

Posted on January 21, 2005 by PlatoHagel

New Physics? Possible violations of Lorentz invariance are an ideal signal of new physics because nothing in the Standard Model of particle physics permits the violation of special relativity. Therefore, no conventional process could ever mimic or cover up a … Continue reading →

Pay it Forward: A Educational Stance?

Posted on January 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The Changing Face of Education Now that the comments section has been closed to some, it will be nice to see what he thinks on his own without others interfering. If you put yourself out there, be prepared to stand … Continue reading →

Domains walls and Interconnecting Loops

Posted on January 12, 2005 by PlatoHagel

It seems wellness is coming back in full force:) so I thought I would take some advice. This paragraph below italizied, and the one related to Chen for consideration, in terms of the abtract world that topological consideration, might have … Continue reading →

GR Reduced From Higher Dimensions?

Posted on January 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Earlier in my blog, I posted a subject called the Classical discription of the quantum world Now it was a big leap of faith on my part that I saw these events as distilliations of a larger and more dynamic … Continue reading →

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

Posted on November 29, 2004 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Quantum Geometricization: The Struggle

Posted on November 29, 2004 by PlatoHagel

If Lorentz symmetry is broken by some mechanism originating at the Planck scale, is there any hope of detecting such an effect? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Over the past decade Kostelecky and co-workers have been exploring how a violation … Continue reading →

Bubble Nucleation

Posted on November 25, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Based on the no boundary proposal, I picture the origin of the universe, as like the formation of bubbles of steam in boiling water. Quantum fluctuations lead to the spontaneous creation of tiny universes, out of nothing. Most of the … Continue reading →

A Quantum-Mechanical Discription of Gravity

Posted on November 17, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I do not know how much more generalized these views could have become from those who now look to what the physicists and theoreticians are doing in their questions for explaining the nature of the reality we are encountering. If … Continue reading →

The Holographical Principle

Posted on November 11, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I must add a very important note. It is still hard for me to believe that Lee Smolin wrote something that could imply that *he* was the author of the conjecture. Lee Smolin has nothing to do with the discovery … Continue reading →

The Holographic Principle and M-Theory

Posted on November 9, 2004 by PlatoHagel

To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images. –Plato, The Republic (Book VII) Of course, to Plato this story was just meant to symbolize mankind’s struggle to reach enlightenment and understanding through … Continue reading →
