When Gravity Becomes Strong……

Posted on February 8, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The value of non-Euclidean geometry lies in its ability to liberate us from preconceived ideas in preparation for the time when exploration of physical laws might demand some geometry other than the Euclidean. Bernhard Riemann It is very important that … Continue reading →

Symmetry and Symmetry Breaking

Posted on February 4, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Harmonices Mundi <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler&quot; target=_blank title="Harmonice Mundi (Latin: Harmony of the Worlds, 1619) is a book by Johannes Kepler. It attempts to explain proportions and geometry in planetary motions by relating them to musical scales and intervals. According to Kepler, … 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 →

Civilizations Within the Cosmo

Posted on January 31, 2005 by PlatoHagel

In the recent article ‘Conflict between anthropic reasoning and observation’ (gr-qc/0303070) Ken D. Olum, using some inflation-based ideas and the anthropic premise that we should be typical among all intelligent observers in the Universe, arrives at the puzzling conclusion that … Continue reading →

Initial Condition Determinations allow Predictability?

Posted on January 25, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The Lorenz Attractor One of the basis of using string theory to me, was to identify, the initial conditions? It would be like talking about the weather to me that we could engage such a topic as strings and then … Continue reading →

Numbers at the Heart of Creation?

Posted on January 24, 2005 by PlatoHagel

Peter Woit pasted a small thread on the question of the new show that is to begin on television soon. Peter said:There’s a new TV show called “NUMB3RS” starting tonight, whose main character is a mathematican named “Charlie”, who solves … 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 →

Education, Now Stimulates Creativity:-)

Posted on January 13, 2005 by PlatoHagel

The nice thing about good educators is the resource that they can help point lay people to to encourage exploration and thought provocation. It is not to nice to have controls place on the the ability of resource searchers to … Continue reading →
