• Roots, and the Rings of History

    The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. Thus General Relativity may be viewed as a prediction of string theory!…

  • Nature in Analog Models

    Plato: “For everyone, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” Oh! how complete our world view would be, that I have moved quickly to the very question of all summations given. That while “visually” occupying the mind, we had been taken…

  • My Attempt at Playwriting?

    It’s nice we have somebody to keep a tight reign on the transmissions of science in the media? :) I was thinking of those who collaborations are used when developing movie scenarios. “Brian Greene” playing himself on Frequency. You played yourself–twice–in the movie, “Frequency”. The movie is about a father communicating from 1969 with his…

  • Struggle within Self Becomes Strugge of Nation

    The link post titled nameabove in title above will have to be corrected, and can be done in other places, but for now it has to remain as it is here. Those CV people are Radicals for change, eh?:) See here, here, here? “If you are not with us you are against us”. Imagine such…

  • Strangelets in Cosmic Considerations

    In accretion disks how would this counter intuitive recognition of the Jet have been incorporated into what could have been ejected as anti-matter creation? Doing the Bose Nova maybe? Killer plasma ready to devour the Earth Reports by Robert Uhlig David Derbyshire and Roger Highfield(Filed: 07/09/2001) By colliding gold nuclei at huge energies, the RHIC…

  • Walkabout

    Aborigines went walkabout in Australia for thousands of years before the first Europeans set foot on the world’s oldest continent. They continue to walk, keeping alive the traditions that connect them to the landscape through stories called the Dreamtime. Today, “going bush” is a term heard from hip bars in Sydney’s Rocks district to outback…

  • Laval Nozzle and the Blackhole

    Often times model changes help perspective, where previously idealization will be contained. Moving beyond the experimental grasp for new ways in which to interpret, require a mode and offensive into producing new variations of ole thngs held in context? Ths is why such models like string that began in one mode in terms of quark…

  • Acoustic Hawking Radiation

    What did we learn from studying acoustic black holes? by Renaud Parentani The study of acoustic black holes has been undertaken to provide new insights about the role of high frequencies in black hole evaporation. Because of the infinite gravitational redshift from the event horizon, Hawking quanta emerge from configurations which possessed ultra high (trans-Planckian)…

  • Xtra dimensions

    In the Beginning….. The field of cosmology has experienced an explosion of activity since the discovery of ripples in the energy of the primordial light of the big bang. Cosmology is the study of the origin, evolution, and fate of objects in the observable universe. These include galaxies like our Milky Way, a vast collection…

  • Unity of disparate Pieces

    damptdweller: Even if you take the string theorists viewpoint that the energy may “leak” away into a brane instead of actually disappearing I think I’m correct in saying that you still need to ensure that energy is conserved regardless. Plato:While some might of thought it “dreamy,” there is a direct physics correlation to that leaking…

  • Music of the Spheres

    Strange Geometriesby Helen Joyce Both spherical and hyperbolic geometries are examples of curved geometries, unlike Euclidean geometry, which is flat. In spherical geometry, the curvature is positive, in hyperbolic geometry, it is negative. I thought I should add the “ascoustic variation” of the struggle for music in the world of “good and evil” as well.…
