In summary, the conversation between Sol and Symmetry on the Superstringtheory forum discusses the global perspective of strings and their significance in understanding holographic vision. Sol also brings up Plato's Allegory of the Cave and how it relates to dimensional significance. The conversation also touches on the cognitive science of mathematics and the failure of Hiesenbergs Structural Failure. Sol also mentions Einstein's Simultaneity and the importance of cryptology in understanding the instantaneous features of gravity and curvature at the quantum level.

Dimension and Symmetry

A global perspective. What does this have to do with strings

Having trouble knowing where to begin with simple question from a global perspective. How do you put it together except under the hologrpahical undertanding of vision?

<a href="http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/platoscave.html">And now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: --Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets.</a>


Now how often, have we seen and experienced the redention of the Allegory of Plato's cave, that helps us set up the thinking in terms of dimensional significance?

What would the significance of the <a href="http://www.superstringtheory.com/forum/metaboard/messages18/345.html">Cogitive Science of Mathematics</a> reveal to us?

What would Hiesenbergs Structural Failure help us to recognize in a collapsing sphere.

I am not giving direct links to see if somehow this suits the requirements of this forum?:) They are there, for one to look at, if they so desire. I thought I might have made it easier, but if this logic is somehow acceptable, I might even become more confuse as to how this forum would as a group, accept such links? Make sense?

Einstein's Simultaneity

http://www.superstringtheory.com/forum/partboard/messages20/139.html

Sorry for link.

But if we are able to determine the instantaneous feature of gravity and curvature, then indeed we have a bird's eye view of what is happening at the quantum level? String congregation is very important, for a string is, string curves, as we see in rendition of Forest's box of chocolates on life:)

Cryptology is very important in this respect.

1. What is Plato's Cave and how does it relate to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle?

Plato's Cave is a philosophical allegory that describes the limitations of human perception and understanding. It suggests that our perception of reality is like that of prisoners chained in a cave, only able to see shadows of objects on the cave wall. This relates to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which states that there is a fundamental limit to how precisely we can know certain physical properties of a particle. This means that our perception of reality is limited by the inherent uncertainty of the universe.

2. Who is Edward Witten and what is his contribution to 21st century science?

Edward Witten is a theoretical physicist and mathematician who has made significant contributions to string theory, a branch of theoretical physics that attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. His work has greatly advanced our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe and has had a profound impact on 21st century science.

3. How does Witten's work relate to Plato's Cave and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle?

Witten's work in string theory and his insights into the nature of reality have furthered our understanding of the limitations of human perception and the inherent uncertainty of the universe. His work has also shed light on the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate concepts, similar to how Plato's Cave and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle are connected through their exploration of the limitations of human understanding.

4. What are some practical applications of Witten's work in string theory?

While string theory is still a theoretical framework, it has potential applications in fields such as quantum computing, cosmology, and condensed matter physics. It has also provided new insights into black holes and the nature of space and time. Additionally, Witten's work has inspired further research and developments in theoretical physics.

5. How has our understanding of Plato's Cave and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle evolved in the 21st century?

In the 21st century, advancements in technology and scientific research have allowed us to better understand and explore the limitations of human perception and the inherent uncertainty of the universe. Witten's contributions to string theory have also provided new insights into the interconnectedness of these concepts, leading to a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of reality.
