Amplituhedron, yep I did the maths.

Hidden away in the theory with gauge symmetry in the forest of trees and such is the Amplituhedron, or as the cognoscenti like to refer the Grassmannian. Just a bunch of lines and sheets and linear objects crissing and crossing. So scattering is a process where you throw something at something else: A husband throwing punches at the woman he loves; A police throws pepper spray in a indian for doing so; a vcr at my head; Protons at Protons; light off the sun; reading this blog. What I am saying is most things in the universe are scattering things. There is a measurable quantity named cross section, because it is a cross section. It is the things that comes out of the experiment and you plot it and you get what the theory said. Simple. But you say, how does one compute such things. First, Get a Lagrangian, which defines the theory and it’s symmetries etc. You also get the Feynman Diagrams from it. When you have a process you compute many many Feynman Diagrams and you wait a couple of years and you get a Ph.D for the suffrage. simple. You must be thinking like a mathematician, at least the good ones, there must be a simpler way. Yes. You can see the amount of ph.d students hating physics because of the Diagrams. Perhaps all of them. They would rather teach deterministic Newton’s laws. After a few years of this you get to realize that this is not so pretty and you want to try something else. The tip is called the iceberg err i mean Amplituhedron! There is no need for most things like spacetime or Lagrangians or Diagrams all you need is Love eerr I mean the Grassmannian. You find the volumes, area of triangles and you are done  you have computed the square root of the crosssections. This only seems to work in N=4 superyang mills and N=8 supergravity so do think it will work in really real theories like standard models…but who knows. I tried a simlilar trick with QCD and it seems to work but I am not going to jump and write a paper claiming so. It is way to soon. The results in the case is known. I only wish that supersymmetry was not so needed in the world of theoretical physics

Well nothing else I just do mindless maths all day until I become hungry and then I go eat sardines and bread. Very nice. A barista gives me free coffee from Sterberks kerfer. I wish I could get a camera lens for my nikon. I only have the body I borrowed the lens and the big lens doesn’t work as the film cross-section is bigger than the sensor cross-section for digital and you notice the corners being black. Maybe that is a good effect.

I have to find some change for this show http://www.saskatoonjazzsociety.com/2013/08/roots-series-catherine-maclellan-summerside-pei/ I guess I really can’t splurge on tickets as that is worth a week of food if you only like malnutrition as a diet aka noodles, Kraft-Dinner ..

Now one thing’s for certain and two things for sure
Being poor’s a disease got to hustle up a cure
Start with your head, homie, then use your hands
If you try it reverse, you don’t even have a chance
