  • All Particles of the Standard Model and Beyond

    Polchinski Elected Member Of National Academy of Sciences Polchinski’s discovery of D-branes and their properties is, according to the Academy citation, “one of the most important insights in 30 years of work on string theory.” Can I tell a little story before I head into the essence of this posted thread below? From one mechanic…

  • Big Bang:One Man’s Change of Heart

    Thanks Paul One definitely needs some perspective around this and how such information is given. I refer here for consideration, about perspective, and how it can be exploited for further consideration on what is emitted, and what manifests in weak gravitational field measure, as neutrino effects(quantum gravity). Microperspective and methods of examination, raise the issue…

  • A New Way of Seeing?

    Sorry couldn’t resist. How many before us in our speculations and way of seeing? :) When looking at Gaussian coordinates, the very idea that our views of “length of lines” had to have another way in which to interpret how we would see such divergences in the UV considerations. Now I might use UV differently…

  • Michael Atiyah and the Geometry

    Michael Atiyah: At this point in the development, although geometry provided a common framework for all the forces, there was still no way to complete the unification by combining quantum theory and general relativity. Since quantum theory deals with the very small and general relativity with the very large, many physicists feel that, for all…

  • Special holonomy manifolds in string theory

    So what instigated my topic today and Hypercharge make sits way for me to reconsider, so while doing this the idea of geoemtries and th eway in which we see this uiverse held to the nature of it’s origination are moving me to consider how we see in ths geometrical sense. The resurgence of ideas…

  • Special Lagrangian geometry

    Dr. Mark Haskins On a wider class of complex manifolds – the so-called Calabi-Yau manifolds – there is also a natural notion of special Lagrangian geometry. Since the late 1980s these Calabi-Yau manifolds have played a prominent role in developments in High Energy Physics and String Theory. In the late 1990s it was realized that…

  • Three Sphere

    There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world. — Nikolai Lobachevsky Bernhard Riemann once claimed: “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…

  • Mathematical Enlightenment

    This enlightenment experience is a realization about the nature of the mind which entails recognizing it (in a direct, experiential way) as liminocentrically organized. The overall structure is paradoxical, and so the articulation of this realization will ‘transcend’ logic – insofar as logic itself is based on the presumption that nested sets are not permitted…

  • Spheres Instead of Circles

    This is a torus (like a doughnut) on which several circles are located. Unlike on a Euclidean plane, on this surface it is impossible to determine which circle is inside of which, since if you go from the black circle to the blue, to the red, and to the grey, you can continuously come back…

  • Topo-sense?

    Michael Persinger has a vision – the Almighty isn’t dead, he’s an energy field. And your mind is an electromagnetic map to your soul. Persinger’s research forays are at the very frontier of the roiling field of neuroscience, the biochemical approach to the study of the brain. Much of what we hear about the discipline…

  • Raychaudhuri Equation

    Is it sand running through our fingers, or a taffy like substance, in symbolic form? The difference, discretium and fluidity of nature, geometrically/topologically driven, are at war with what we might interpret in time? Early on, Salvador Dali understood well this geometrical propensity to the tesserack, that he embued his art with higher religious context(time).…
