Gravitational Wave Detectors are Best Described as "Sounds."

Posted on August 21, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Weber developed an experiment using a large suspended bar of aluminum, with a high resonant Q at a frequency of about 1 kH; the oscillation of the bar after it had been excited could be measured by a series of … Continue reading →

# 184 Metamorphosis

Posted on August 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“A Nuance” can be a compelling thing for the soul as it seeks to understand why something has caught it’s attention. IN that case, I pointed out the relation to Einstein’s “early life” and the compass as an example. IN … Continue reading →

BigFoot: The Anomalistic Reality?

Posted on August 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The explanation of scientific development in terms of paradigms was not only novel but radical too, insofar as it gives a naturalistic explanation of belief-change. Thomas Kuhn <a href="http://eskesthai.blogspot.com/2006/03/professors-fate-or-encouragement-to.html&quot; target=_BLank title="Frame from the footage filmed by Roger Patterson in October … Continue reading →

String Theory Landscape

Posted on August 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The theory of strings predicts that the universe might occupy one random “valley” out of a virtually infinite selection of valleys in a vast landscape of possibilities Quantum Effect, however allow a manifold to change state abruptly at some point-to … Continue reading →

Alice and the Cosmic Ballet, Now Meet Higgins

Posted on July 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

As Alice learned, it’s not always clear what’s a looking glass, and what’s a window to another world. Mirrors and windows are often interchangeable: we look out into the world, and see ourselves reflected back. We look at a reflection, … Continue reading →

Clifford and The Singularity

Posted on July 25, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Star Lite Public Outreach

Posted on July 16, 2006 by PlatoHagel

In regards to the QGP(Quark Gluon Plasma) I thought such a creation important from the ideas of what happens in assessing any beginning? <a href="http://qd.typepad.com/5/2005/03/public_service_.html&quot; target=_blank title="Public Service Announcement: Black Holes @ RHIC-March 17 2005-Peter Steinberg”> This thought arose from … Continue reading →

GRand Quantum Conjecture

Posted on July 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

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 … Continue reading →

Early Universe Formation

Posted on June 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

An Energy of Empty Space? Einstein was the first person to realize that empty space is not nothingness. Space has amazing properties, many of which are just beginning to be understood. The first property of space that Einstein discovered is … Continue reading →

THEORETICAL MATHEMATICS

Posted on June 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Before I was to ask the question below I had gone through the links given by Alejandro RIvero and in and thinking of the work I had been doing to understand this relation between mathematics and the physics world. Of … Continue reading →
