  • Color of Gravity 4

    This is the most important song I’ve ever written, it’s a time capsule song. I will listen to it every day of my life if I need to. It’s honest to God the most important song I’ve ever written in my life, and it has the fewest words. I was in LA, and I was…

  • The Truth of Symmetry?

    Fidel wrote: Canadian Tom Harpur wrote that modern day religious scholars began to realize that indigenous people in this hemisphere possessed what are some of the most sophisticated and deeply held spiritual beliefs in the world. I agree with your perspective about the historical perspective with the introduction of the white people assertions toward the…

  • Life After Death Question

    It’s obvious that some humour can make light of a dead situation?:) Stephen Hawking dismisses belief in God in an exclusive interview with the Guardian. Photograph: Solar & Heliospheric Observatory/Discovery Channel In the interview, Hawking rejected the notion of life beyond death and emphasised the need to fulfil our potential on Earth by making good…

  • Plato’s Problem and Meno: How Accurately Portrayed?

    SOCRATES: Then he who does not know may still have true notions of that which he does not know? MENO: He has. SOCRATES: And at present these notions have just been stirred up in him, as in a dream; but if he were frequently asked the same questions, in different forms, he would know as…

  • Lessons in Life

     For me there has to be a beginning for any object of presentation,  so that the understanding fully incorporates how one is looking at say “our skies historically” can be the seed of what matures tomorrow. While that process and it’s unfolding can be months in the making, it must for me have an imprint…

  • Time Dilation

    ……. is a phenomenon (or two phenomena, as mentioned below) described by the theory of relativity. It can be illustrated by supposing that two observers are in motion relative to each other, or differently situated with regard to nearby gravitational masses. They each carry a clock of identical construction and function. Then, the point of…

  • Thinking Outside the Box, People Like Veneziano, Turok and Penrose

    Credit: V.G.Gurzadyan and R.Penrose Dark circles indicate regions in space where the cosmic microwave background has temperature variations that are lower than average. The features hint that the universe was born long before the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago and had undergone myriad cycles of birth and death before that time. See: Cosmic rebirth…

  • Holometer

    Holometer Revised This plot shows the sensitivity of various experiments to fluctuations in space and time. Horizontal axis is the log of apparatus size (or duration time the speed of light), in meters; vertical axis is the log of the rms fluctuation amplitude in the same units. The lower left corner represents the Planck length…

  • Quantum suicide and immortality

    But for the first time, quantum physicist Seth Lloyd of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that memories of entanglement can survive its destruction. He compares the effect to Emily Brontë’s novel Wuthering Heights: “the spectral Catherine communicates with her quantum Heathcliff as a flash of light from beyond the grave.”Where Susskind leaves off, Seth…

  • Intelligent Life in the Universe?

    While Drake’s equation is a good basis for systematic investigations of signals from extraterrestrial intelligences, I care little about the admittedly scarce possibility that we ever receive positive news from our SETI searches. I care more about the fact that, if we consider the whole universe instead than restricting to our small galaxy, and if…

  • About Complexity

    Robert Betts Laughlin (born November 1, 1950) is a professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Stanford University who, together with Horst L. Störmer and Daniel C. Tsui, was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in physics for his explanation of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Laughlin was born in Visalia, California. He earned a B.A.…
