Magnifying light speed Questions
(Message 14222)
Posted 2 Jul 2006 by Ernesto Solis Post: If your traveling at the speed of light with a mirror in front of you, you will not see your reflection. What will you see if you have a magnifying glass in front of you? Where would a video camera have to be placed to record such an event? The further you hold it away, what changes might occur? Just thought I'd ask! Ernie S Team Art Bell God Bless |

Posted 21 Jun 2006 by Ernesto Solis Post: Two more questions for crunchers. From Pt. 3 of The Elegant Universe. SAVAS DIMOPOULOS: Consider a pool table, a very large pool table. Think of the surface of the pool table as representing our three-dimensional universe, although it is just two-dimensional, and think of the billiard balls as representing atoms and other particles that the universe is made out of. BRIAN GREENE: So here's the wild idea: the atoms and particles that make up stuff in the world around us will stay on our particular membrane, our slice of the universe just as the billiard balls will stay on the surface of the pool table—unless you're a really bad pool player. But whenever the balls collide, there is something that always seeps off the table, sound waves. That's why I can hear the collision. Now, the idea is that gravity might be like the sound waves, it might not be confined to our membrane. It might be able to seep off our part of the universe. Question 1) Wind can effect a sound wave! Can thier be a force that effects the gravitons journey as it leaves our Universe membrane? For years, we concentrated on strings that were closed loops, like rubber bands. But after M-theory, we turned our attention to other kinds. Now we think that everything we see around us, like matter and light, is made of open-ended strings, and the ends of each string are tied down to our three-dimensional membrane. But closed loops of string do exist, and one kind is responsible for gravity. It's called a graviton. With closed loops, there are no loose ends to tie down, so gravitons are free to escape into the other dimensions, diluting the strength of gravity and making it seem weaker than the other forces of nature. Question 2) If Matter = grounded strings and gravity= looped strings What are the other kinds of looped strings? What else leaves our Membrane? Always an honor to learn from my fellow crunchers! Thank you Ernie S God Bless |

Posted 17 Jun 2006 by Ernesto Solis Post: Hey crunchers, check this out This question is for River~~,Alex and any crunchers who can help! (w/ exception of Mike Mitchell, please sir, this is a serious question!:) At a small scale In the collision of particals we are searching for an escaping graviton from our membrane. At a larger scale Can our universe be the cause of a collision of somesort? If an escaping graviton were to represent an escaping universe! (Something other than two Membranes colliding) Ernie S Team Art Bell God Bless P.S. This question is void if attached to another thread... |

Similarities
(Message 13825)
Posted 2 Jun 2006 by Ernesto Solis Post: Are their any similarities between the way strings in (string theory) are tied down to our universe membrane and the white magnetic field lines (or sunspots) connected to the suns magnetic carpet? I enjoy learning and sharing!!! This ones from Mike at Einstein@home I thank all of you for helping me! God Bless The idea of strings is deceptively simple, and as a consequence inadvertently broad. Essentially one imagines a curve within a space of some number of dimensions. This curve is 'linear', meaning that one can use a single number/parameter to identify a point on it uniquely. Mathematically the points on the curve are a function of the co-ordinates of the enclosing space, but there is redundancy - so that one can re-express each of the co-ordinates as a function of a single common parameter. This parameter could be thought of as the distance along the curve from start to finish. Immediately this suggests two types of strings - open and closed. The open ones have the start and finish points non-identical, so the ends are 'free'. The closed ones have the start and finish points identical, so we have a 'loop'. Restating this in math terms : the functions for the co-ordinates of the points on the string have the characteristic that they are cyclic for the single common parameter ( the functional value is identical for any given parameter value when compared to that same parameter value plus a multiple of some 'period' ). Either type of string has certain requirements placed on it's describing functions, so as to satisfy general ideas of symmetry, conservation laws, relativity etc ..... that we believe should be obeyed. I like to think of strings as objects which 'store' characteristics like energy. One 'postdiction' of string theory is the numbers of dimensions for the enclosing space. Roughly this reflects the fact that if you want to represent several independent qualities for a given string ( energy/mass, charge, some other 'quantum' numbers..... ) then it must have the ability to 'wiggle' in a certain minimum number of independent directions. That way it can keep separate the information about it's internal state in different 'modes' or 'slots'. Anyhows there are many, many ways to satisfy what we know strings should do based on current constraints for their design. This has been embarassing in that our universe seems to be only one of a humungous number of possiblities, and as yet there is no selection principle or extra concept to hone the theory down to even any 'nearby' variant. It needs one ( or more ) of these to allow calculations to proceed to testable numbers. So, in answer to the original question the answer is : maybe.... :-) Cheers, Mike. |

Similarities
(Message 13798)
Posted 31 May 2006 by Ernesto Solis Post: Are their any similarities between the way strings In addition to the web page above, I remember something Brian Green said in Chapter 3 "Signs of strings" on the "The Elegant Universe" that influenced this question. Strings are thought to be so tiny, much smaller than an atom, that there's probably no way to see them directly. But even if we never see strings, we may someday see their fingerprints. You see, if strings were around at the beginning of the universe, when things were really tiny, they would have left impressions or traces on their surroundings. And then, after the big bang, when everything expanded, those traces would have been stretched out along with everything else. So, if that's true, we may someday see the tell-tale signs of strings somewhere in the stars. What did he mean by "they would have left impressions or traces on thier surroundings" & "Tell-tale signs of strings somewhere in the stars" Thanks for your help crunchers |
