• A New Cosmological View?

    Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl Perspective has been push back in a reductionistic sense and understanding in a cosmological sense. The…

  • Cosmic ray spallation

    As this NASA chart indicates, 70 percent or more of the universe consists of dark energy, about which we know next to nothing Other explanations of dark energy, called “quintessence,” originate from theoretical high-energy physics. In addition to baryons, photons, neutrinos, and cold dark matter, quintessence posits a fifth kind of matter (hence the name),…

  • Status of "Warp Drive"

    Time is of your own making; its clock ticks in your head. The moment you stop thought time too stops dead. Angelus Silesius The plot created here in this post in this fictional sense(?) so that I too may deal with the issues of time travel? Of course time travel is on my mind for…

  • Result of Effective Changes in the Cosmos

    “There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries have involved such a leap. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” Albert Einstein (1879- 1955) But the presence of an event horizon implies a finite Hawking temperature and the…

  • Graviton in a Can?

    After you consume “graviton in a can,” you might never be the same? Brane thinking may then dominate your every view of the world. Then, it will all make sense? Imagine while we peer deeper into the subject of the “perfect fluid/soup” we find that certain aspects of the reductionist work done, has indeed lead…

  • Probing the Perfect Liquid

    If you learn to understand the relationship between QGP and the physics underlying hydrodynamic flows then what leads one to believe that the blackholes cannot also create the circumstances, for the process you may observe in the cosmos, “is” directly related to the effects of the “relativistic nature” of flows? There is no further need…

  • Clifford and The Singularity

    Horatiu is referring to a mathematical similarity between the physics of the real world, which govern RHIC collisions, and the physics that scientists use to describe a theoretical, “imaginary” black hole in a hypothetical world with a different number of space-time dimensions (more than the four dimensions — three space directions and time — that…

  • GRand Quantum Conjecture

    My continued looked into the “fluids dynamics” had me wonder about the superfluid anomalies. How would the “sphere look” if it collapsed and allowed information to travel through it, based on what has been given here for perspective, when the “state of equillibrum” is arrived at? In regards to 3, let’s just say the assumption…

  • Continuing with the Foundation

    An important thing to remember is, a House Will Become the Home. There are many things that will go into our homes? In the dream world, this home, will become the backdrop for all the things you will measure in life? If you thought the highest ideals in life might have been expressed, where shall…

  • What Comes Next?

    What Lies Beneath, by Eugene Samuel Likewise, if the very fabric of the Universe is in a quantum-critical state, then the “stuff” that underlies reality is totally irrelevant-it could be anything, says Laughlin. Even if the string theorists show that strings can give rise to the matter and natural laws we know, they won’t have…

  • Cosmic Variance’s Very Own: Strangelets in 10 or 11

    Cosmic Variance’s very own. Hewett, Lillie and Rizzo found that if so called micro-black holes, which are smaller than the nucleus of an atom, exist, they can be used to determine the number of extra dimensions. If scientists were to smash two high energy protons together they could theoretically make such a micro-black hole. Such…
