The History of "Star Shine to Now"

Posted on October 21, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In “The String Saga of Star Shine” I gave a distant measure of how we might seen any event from that time to now. But before I begin I wanted to link Lubos’s mention of article from David G to … Continue reading →

Part of Facing the Trouble With Physics

Posted on October 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

It might be that the laws change absolutely with time; that gravity for instance varies with time and that this inverse square law has a strength which depends on how long it is since the beginning of time. In other … Continue reading →

The Periodic Table of the Moon’s Strata

Posted on October 3, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Clementine color ratio composite image of Aristarchus Crater on the Moon. This 42 km diameter crater is located on the corner of the Aristarchus plateau, at 24 N, 47 W. Ejecta from the plateau is visible as the blue material … Continue reading →

Gravitational Radiation

Posted on September 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

How dry this article in comparison to what we can witness in the cosmo? One gets this sense of “curvature implied” that the events connected at locations in the universe could have been felt in other locations? What connects them? … Continue reading →

Gravity-Don’t Let it Get You Down

Posted on September 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

If a inkblot appears on your desk, would you think it appeared in the shape it did to convince you, that what you are “seeing is real?” To you, it may look like someone trying in their attempts to convince … Continue reading →

A Distorted Lense?

Posted on September 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Gravity dominates the large-scale structure of the universe, but only by default, so to speak. Matter arranges itself to cancel electromagnetism, and the strong and weak forces are intrinsically short range. At a more fundamental level, gravity is extravagantly feeble. … Continue reading →

CNO and the Law of Octaves

Posted on September 20, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“String theory—the hot topic in physics for the past 20 years—is a dead-end, says Smolin, one of the founders of Canada’s Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics and himself a lapsed string theorist. In fact, he (and others) argue convincingly, string … Continue reading →

Window on the Universe

Posted on September 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Michio Kaku: I like to compare it to wandering in the desert, and stumbling over a tiny pebble. When we push away the sand, we find that this “pebble” is actually the tip of a gargantuan pyramid. After years of … Continue reading →

A Constant that Isn’t Constant?

Posted on August 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Now I am wrting this because some are persistent about the speed of light. I have looked at this and tried to accompany this thinking with actual work that has been put out there, and that has developed along these … Continue reading →

Beyond Spacetime?

Posted on August 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As well as bringing the accelerator’s counter-rotating beams together, LHC insertion magnets also have to separate them after collision. This is the job of dedicated separators, and the US Brookhaven Laboratory is developing superconducting magnets for this purpose. Brookhaven is … Continue reading →
