The Man Who Knew Infinity:

Posted on November 24, 2004 by PlatoHagel

A Life of the Genius Ramanujanby Robert Kanigel Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920)In the past few decades, we have witnessed how Ramanujan’s contributions have made such a profound impact on various branches of mathematics. The book, “The man who knew infinity”, by … Continue reading →

Mathematicians and Physicists Do is Perhaps Like Sculpture

Posted on November 23, 2004 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.” Smolin then goes on to write something interesting here. Many would have interpreted the … Continue reading →

Quantum Gravity

Posted on November 22, 2004 by PlatoHagel

Here is one of two methods that help explain. The next post will follow tomorrow if I have time. The complexity of the pictures involved is linked down below in Fig 15-17. This will give some generalizations that I had … Continue reading →

A Quantum-Mechanical Discription of Gravity

Posted on November 17, 2004 by PlatoHagel

I do not know how much more generalized these views could have become from those who now look to what the physicists and theoreticians are doing in their questions for explaining the nature of the reality we are encountering. If … Continue reading →

New Non-geometrical Generalization of the Principles of CFT Found?

Posted on November 17, 2004 by PlatoHagel

There is always a certain expectancy, when it comes having formulated the theoretical work, that further developement along these lines presenst the opportunities for such things to exist. A new non-geometrical generalization of the principles of CFT will be found, … Continue reading →

Are Strings as Spacetime an Emergent Phenomena?

Posted on November 16, 2004 by PlatoHagel

One thing I can tell you, though, is that most string theorist’s suspect that spacetime is a emergent Phenomena in the language of condensed matter physics. Above Witten asks a legitmate question, and so does Gerard t’Hooft as shown in … Continue reading →

2004 Promises to be an Exceptionally Exciting Year in General Relativity and Gravitation

Posted on November 14, 2004 by PlatoHagel

But you shouldn’t imagine the mood as one of breathless anticipation. At least for the physicists present, a better description would be something like “skeptical curiosity”. None of them seemed to believe that Hawking could suddenly shed new light on … Continue reading →

Quantum Gravity Models

Posted on November 6, 2004 by PlatoHagel

PLato saids,”Look to the perfection of the heavens for truth,” while Aristotle saids “look around you at what is if you would know the truth” Quantum Gravity I guess we have a choice here? Between the models of what would … Continue reading →
