Pierre Auger Observatory

Posted on April 9, 2005 by PlatoHagel

In his excellent paper, Louis LePrince-Ringuet, citing a remark of Powell’s at the Conference of Bagneres-de-Bigorre in 1953, declared that from that date on, particle accelerators took the place of cosmic rays, which more or less faded into the background. … Continue reading →

On a Very Large Scale Spatial Curvature?

Posted on March 18, 2005 by PlatoHagel

These are beautiful pictures of flowers my wife grew, and as a collage they make a nice way of expressing the diversity of galaxies, within context of our whole universe.:) So you develope this sense on the large scale about … Continue reading →

Supersymmetry

Posted on March 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world. — Nikolai Lobachevsky John Ellis: Extensions of the Standard Model often contain more discriminatory parameters, and this is certainly … Continue reading →

The Triumph of the Standard Model

Posted on February 25, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The discovery of the massive top quark at Fermilab in 1994 spectacularly confirmed the predictions of the Standard Model John Ellis The fundamental particle interactions described by the Standard Model are the electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear forces. It has … Continue reading →

Timeline

Posted on February 16, 2005 by PlatoHagel

There are reasons for this theme, that I thought most appropriate to the discussion of illusion and miracles. In the thread previous to this one, a concept is put forward by Arkani-Hamed that focuses on the issue of the timeline … 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 →

Is Everyone Declaring their Position Clearly?

Posted on January 20, 2005 by PlatoHagel

“Most string theorists are very arrogant,” says Seiberg with a smile. “If there is something [beyond string theory], we will call it string theory.” I am going to comment on Peter Woit’s reference to the article called String Fellows he … 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 →
