  • Step Inside the Perimeter

    Just one breakthrough in theoretical physics can change the world. Perimeter Institute was created to accelerate breakthroughs in our understanding of the universe. The science is complex, but the basic Perimeter equation is simple: Bright Minds. Illuminating Ideas. Brilliant Future.

  • Materialism/Physicalism

    In philosophy, the theory of materialism holds that the only thing that exists is matter or energy; that all things are composed of material and all phenomena (including consciousness) are the result of material interactions. In other words, matter is the only substance, and reality is identical with the actually occurring states of energy and…

  • Noncommutative standard model

    In theoretical particle physics, the non-commutative Standard Model, mainly due to the French mathematician Alain Connes, uses his noncommutative geometry to devise an extension of the Standard Model to include a modified form of general relativity. This unification implies a few constraints on the parameters of the Standard Model. Under an additional assumption, known as…

  • Loci: A Gallery of Ray Tracing for Geometers

    The crystalline state is the simplest known example of a quantum , a stable state of matter whose generic low-energy properties are determined by a higher organizing principle and nothing else.

  • The Body Canvas

    Let no one destitute of geometry enter my doors.” Who would have known about the distinction I had thought only myself could bare the artistic rendition of a thought processes that had unfurled in my own expressive way many others had expressed. Yes I had seen students of science with qualitative formulas tattooed over their…

  • Descriptive geometry

    At this point in the development, although geometry provided a common framework for all the forces, there was still no way to complete the unification by combining quantum theory and general relativity. Since quantum theory deals with the very small and general relativity with the very large, many physicists feel that, for all practical purposes,…

  • Projective Geometries

    A theorem which is valid for a geometry in this sequence is automatically valid for the ones that follow. The theorems of projective geometry are automatically valid theorems of Euclidean geometry. We say that topological geometry is more abstract than projective geometry which is turn is more abstract than Euclidean geometry. It is always important…

  • Gino Fano

    Gino Fano (5 January 1871 – 8 November 1952) was an Italian mathematician. He was born in Mantua, Italy and died in Verona, Italy. Fano worked on projective and algebraic geometry; the Fano plane and Fano varieties are named for him. Ugo Fano and Robert Fano were his sons. There are reasons with which I…

  • Great Pyramid was built inside out, Frenchman says

    Man ponders shadow, or shadow ponders itself? Great Pyramid of Giza was the world’s tallest building from c. 2570 BC to c. 1300 AD.† For me, this has always been somewhat of an interest of mine. I’ll tell a little bit of why this is so as well. Give you some ideas about what the…
