Evidence for Extra Dimensions and IceCube

Posted on February 8, 2006 by PlatoHagel

…the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed. Albert Einstein Sometimes if we paid attention enough, the neurons seem to fire appropriately and … Continue reading →

Time

Posted on February 2, 2006 by PlatoHagel

You need a “Axion point” to derive symmetry breaking from equilibrium? Hmmmmm….. I’m thinking here. The idea is taking the first three minutes and moving it to the first three seconds and that’s where strings come in… I must warn … Continue reading →

Being Informed On things One might of Missed

Posted on January 29, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Some links and slides given by Dr. Nick Evan. Clifford of Cosmic Variance relayed this information in a titled post called, “Return to the Fold“ Every model assumption has to involve the understanding of all “science processes.” “If” any of … Continue reading →

Cosmic Rays Collisions and Strangelets Produced?

Posted on January 28, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I like to think of Enlightenment in another way Jaffe:) While we had focused our attention on the airs about the earth, how would it been possible for us earthlings to push back the limitations on on our views that … Continue reading →

What the M really stands for

Posted on January 27, 2006 by PlatoHagel

A more serious problem: The name M-theory is slightly ambiguous. It can be used to refer to both the particular eleven-dimensional theory which Witten first proposed, or it can be used to refer to a kind of Uber theory which … Continue reading →

Spacetime 101

Posted on January 24, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Here’s some basic background covering how mathematical models of space and time have evolved since ancient times, from the Pythagorean Rule to Newtonian mechanics, Special Relativity and General Relativity. For the roads leading to one’s view of the strange world … Continue reading →

Hyperspace

Posted on January 24, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Science is that human activity in which we aim to show towards nature that respect that in a democracy we endeavor to show towards each other.” There is no doubt my views are biased. For all the wrong reasons I … Continue reading →

Circle of Trust

Posted on January 9, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“Particle physics is the unbelievable in pursuit of the unimaginable. To pinpoint the smallest fragments of the universe you have to build the biggest machine in the world. To recreate the first millionths of a second of creation you have … Continue reading →

The Blackhole as a Superfluid: It’s Viscosity

Posted on January 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Now you must understand that thinking of any first principle is hard to refrain from, especially, if one had thought like I do, that the geometrical tendencies are inherent in the way this is handled, and that it leads to … Continue reading →

Scattering Amplitudes

Posted on December 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

So where has “experimentation” taken us to today? Stanford Encyclopedia of PhilosophyUnder the Heading of Bell’s Theorem Zeilinger: The quantum state is exactly that representation of our knowledge of the complete situation which enables the maximal set of (probabilistic) predictions … Continue reading →
