The Black Hole Final State

Posted on July 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature. – Hermann Weyl It … Continue reading →

John Venn

Posted on June 17, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The early historical work can be derived from personages. Helps sometimes to illucidate the avenue and abtractions that seem only fitted for the abstract mind? Do people like to deal with such issues? I am finding that as I am … Continue reading →

Could "Chaos" have been Implied in the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator, as Supersymmetry?

Posted on June 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

See:Quantum Harmonic Oscillators Fortunately being the junior here in knowledge comprehension, the benefits, as of my having wrongly thought a certain way, allows “fantasy a great journey.” I have wondered, could I have ever attained such insights that would awaken … Continue reading →

The Trigger

Posted on June 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Since there exist in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent “now” objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears therefore more natural to think of physical … Continue reading →

Why No New Einstein

Posted on June 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.. -Plato, The Republic (Book VII) The inference of dimensional attributes scares many good minds away from the matters at hand?:) Lubos Motl: The only … Continue reading →

Emergence= Phase Transitions of Symmetry?

Posted on March 22, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Witten said: One thing I can tell you, though, is that most string theorist’s suspect that spacetime is a emergent Phenomena in the language of condensed matter physics. Part of the difficulty was realizing that the end result of a … Continue reading →

Is Special Relativity Wrong?

Posted on January 21, 2005 by PlatoHagel

New Physics? Possible violations of Lorentz invariance are an ideal signal of new physics because nothing in the Standard Model of particle physics permits the violation of special relativity. Therefore, no conventional process could ever mimic or cover up a … Continue reading →

The Microstates of Quantum Gravity

Posted on January 19, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense-experience correspond to a logically uniform system of thought -Albert Einstein Fig.1: Generally Grouping Order increases the density of objects within a frame of reference, resulting in a more … Continue reading →

Pay it Forward: A Educational Stance?

Posted on January 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The Changing Face of Education Now that the comments section has been closed to some, it will be nice to see what he thinks on his own without others interfering. If you put yourself out there, be prepared to stand … Continue reading →

THE ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE

Posted on December 9, 2004 by PlatoHagel

The String Theory Landscape, by Raphael Bousso and Joseph Polchinski Given the success of replacing the gravitational force with the dynamics of space and time, why not seek a geometric explanation for the other forces of nature and even for … Continue reading →
