Symmetry in Psychological Action

Posted on February 5, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Our basic premise is that minuscule apparent violations of Lorentz and CPT invariance might be observable in nature. The idea is that the violations would arise as suppressed effects from a more fundamental theory. We have shown in our publications … 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This is a historical reference as well as leading to a conclusion I won’t say it for you just that I present the idea, “written word,” and then you decide what that message is.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 →

Finiteness of String Theory and Mandelstam

Posted on December 2, 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 Radius of the Little Circle

Posted on October 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Where a dictionary proceeds in a circular manner, defining a word by reference to another, the basic concepts of mathematics are infinitely closer to an indecomposable element”, a kind of elementary particle” of thought with a minimal amount of ambiguity … Continue reading →

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 →

"Lead by Physics," Faces the "Trouble With Physics"

Posted on October 15, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what … Continue reading →

George Gabriel Stokes

Posted on October 12, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Sir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet (13 August 1819–1 February 1903) was an Irish mathematician and physicist, who at Cambridge made important contributions to fluid dynamics (including the Navier-Stokes equations), optics, and mathematical physics (including Stokes’ theorem). He was secretary, … Continue reading →

Are Strangelets Natural?

Posted on September 30, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Thus RHIC is in a certain sense a string theory testing machine, analyzing the formation and decay of dual black holes, and giving information about the black hole interior. It is important that you look at the date of this … Continue reading →
