Quantum Mechanical Discription of the Spacetime Fabric

Posted on December 8, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Richard Feynman developed the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics in 1948 (some preliminaries were worked out earlier, in the course of his doctoral thesis work with John Archibald Wheeler) as a description of quantum theory corresponding to the action … Continue reading →

Quantum Microstates: Gas Molecules in the Presence of a Gravitational Field

Posted on December 4, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Andy Strominger: This was a field theory that lived on a circle, which means it has one spatial dimension and one time dimension. We derived the fact that the quantum states of the black hole could be represented as the … Continue reading →

Inverse Fourth Power Law

Posted on December 3, 2004 by PlatoHagel

By moving our perceptions to fifth dimenisonal views of Kaluza and KLein, I looked at methods that would help me explain that strange mathematical world that I had been lead too geometrically. If such a bulk existed, then how would … Continue reading →

=> A Symmetry Breaking Phase Transition

Posted on December 2, 2004 by PlatoHagel

If we understand what that point suggests, we understand well what the planck length has told us to consider, that even for the briefest of moment, the gamma ray burst would have revealled the CMB in its glory, and slowly … Continue reading →

A Classical Discription of the Quantum World?

Posted on November 30, 2004 by PlatoHagel

D Orbital Orbitals are probability diagrams. Specifically, an orbital describes a region in space where there is a 90% change of finding an electron. The electron is never restricted to an orbital as in travels around a nucleus, but it … Continue reading →

Cycle of Birth, Life, and Death-Origin, Indentity, and Destiny by Gabriele Veneziano

Posted on November 29, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Was the big bang really the beginning of time? Or did the universe exist before then? Such a question seemed almost blasphemous only a decade ago. Most cosmologists insisted that it simply made no sense – that to contemplate a … Continue reading →

Quantum Geometricization: The Struggle

Posted on November 29, 2004 by PlatoHagel

If Lorentz symmetry is broken by some mechanism originating at the Planck scale, is there any hope of detecting such an effect? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Over the past decade Kostelecky and co-workers have been exploring how a violation … Continue reading →

Non Euclidean Geometry and the Universe

Posted on November 28, 2004 by PlatoHagel

With Critical density ( Omega ), matter distinctions become apparent, when looking at the computerized model of Andrey Kravtsov. Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann 1826 – 1866 Riemannian Geometry, also known as elliptical geometry, is the geometry of the surface of … Continue reading →

Searching for Changes in the Fine-Structure Constant Using Atomic Clocks

Posted on November 27, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Another laser beam is used to make the atoms fluoresce, and the amount of fluorescence is measured as a function of the microwave frequency to plot a “resonance curve”. An ultra-precise measurement of time can be made by measuring the … Continue reading →

The Cosmic String

Posted on November 24, 2004 by PlatoHagel

It was important for me to recognize the microcosmic view, could have been united with cosmological proportions, and revealled structural integrity to the way in which the universe was formed. If such views were manifesting from planck Epoch realizations, then … Continue reading →
