Intuitively Compelling

Posted on May 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

While it does appear that Einstein has indeed given us a paradigm which was indeed world-changing and affected everyone, how well might he have known himself? He was “driven,” as to the” focus and outcome” of GR’s growth? Yet, being … Continue reading →

What Comes Next?

Posted on May 6, 2006 by PlatoHagel

What Lies Beneath, by Eugene Samuel Likewise, if the very fabric of the Universe is in a quantum-critical state, then the “stuff” that underlies reality is totally irrelevant-it could be anything, says Laughlin. Even if the string theorists show that … Continue reading →

Models Change Perceptions

Posted on April 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“When the student is ready the Teacher appears“ Who said it first? Our attempt to justify our beliefs logically by giving reasons results in the “regress of reasons.” Since any reason can be further challenged, the regress of reasons threatens … Continue reading →

What a Good String Theorist Should Know?

Posted on April 22, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Arthur MillerEinstein and Schrödinger never fully accepted the highly abstract nature of Heisenberg’s quantum mechanics, says Miller. They agreed with Galileo’s assertion that “the book of nature is written in mathematics”, but they also realized the power of using visual … Continue reading →

Krauss Speaks, People React? :)

Posted on April 4, 2006 by PlatoHagel

We understand that Alice is just part of the developing perspective we have about interactions? THis is consistant with Glast, as well as any calormetrical understanding, from an interaction? That we had not explain the extra energy should still be … Continue reading →
