It’s Still A Elephant

Posted on November 4, 2010 by PlatoHagel

A sensible reductionist perspective would be something like “objects are completely defined by the states of their components.” The dialogue uses elephants as examples of complex objects, so Rosenberg imagines that we know the state (position and momentum etc.) of … Continue reading →

The Cross Over Point and Time Travel

Posted on May 16, 2009 by PlatoHagel

One of the issues that is evoked by any faster-than-light transport is time paradoxes: causality violations and implications of time travel. As if the faster than light issue wasn’t tough enough, it is possible to construct elaborate scenarios where faster-than-light … Continue reading →

The Ring of Truth

Posted on November 14, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Savas Dimopoulos:Here’s an analogy to understand this: imagine that our universe is a two-dimensional pool table, which you look down on from the third spatial dimension. When the billiard balls collide on the table, they scatter into new trajectories across … Continue reading →

Where Spacetime is flat?

Posted on November 12, 2007 by PlatoHagel

……A Condensative Result exists. Where “energy concentrates” and expresses outward. I mean if I were to put on my eyeglasses, and these glasses were given to a way of seeing this universe, why not look at the whole universe bathed … Continue reading →

Production of Gravitational Waves

Posted on September 29, 2007 by PlatoHagel

“My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky.”William Wordsworth— My Heart Leaps Up This post is based on “the production” and not the detection of gravitational waves. It does serve it’s purpose, that I explain what … Continue reading →

Symmetries Can be Chaotically Complex

Posted on January 1, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Imagine in an “action of a kind” you start off from one place. A photon travelling through a slit of Thomas Young’s, to get through “a world” to the other side. Sounds like some fairy tale doesn’t it? Yet, “the … Continue reading →

N category and the Hydrogen spectrum

Posted on December 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Picture of the 1913 Bohr model of the atom showing the Balmer transition from n=3 to n=2. The electronic orbitals (shown as dashed black circles) are drawn to scale, with 1 inch = 1 Angstrom; note that the radius of … Continue reading →

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz

Posted on December 18, 2006 by PlatoHagel

This is a historical reference as well as leading to a conclusion I won’t say it for you just that I present the idea, “written word,” and then you decide what that message is. You might have thought it disjointed, … Continue reading →

Against Symmetry

Posted on December 14, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The term “symmetry” derives from the Greek words sun (meaning ‘with’ or ‘together’) and metron (‘measure’), yielding summetria, and originally indicated a relation of commensurability (such is the meaning codified in Euclid’s Elements for example). It quickly acquired a further, … Continue reading →
