Dealing With a 5d World

Posted on July 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

A black hole is an object so massive that even light cannot escape from it. This requires the idea of a gravitational mass for a photon, which then allows the calculation of an escape energy for an object of that … Continue reading →

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 →

Raychaudhuri Equation

Posted on March 30, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Is it sand running through our fingers, or a taffy like substance, in symbolic form? The difference, discretium and fluidity of nature, geometrically/topologically driven, are at war with what we might interpret in time? Early on, Salvador Dali understood well … Continue reading →

Time and Gravity

Posted on February 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Einstein wrote >”…for us physicists believe the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one.” After being changed by assuming the views of string theory, something happened in my perspective about understanding the dimensional … Continue reading →

Tiny Blackholes in Cosmic Observations?

Posted on January 11, 2005 by PlatoHagel

205th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society 9-13 January 2005 — San Diego, CA I am kind of interested to find further information on how microstate blackholes might have been generated and looking at the concentration of minds, I wonder … Continue reading →

The Emergence of Time, What Lies Beneath?

Posted on January 10, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The intuitive classical space-time picture breaks down in quantum gravity, which makes a comparison and the development of semiclassical techniques quite complicated. Taken in context of how supersymmetrical levels could have ever been reached, is really a wonderful thnng to … Continue reading →

Hodge Conjecture

Posted on December 21, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Interplay between geometry and topology. One of the things that I am having difficulty with is if I understood the idea of a cosmic string. The understanding would have to imply that the higher dimensions would reveal themselves within the … Continue reading →

Holography and Dimensional Relevance

Posted on November 6, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Holography encodes the information in a region of space onto a surface one dimension lower. It sees to be the property of gravity, as is shown by the fact that the area of th event horizon measures the number of … Continue reading →
