Abstract

The four basic building blocks of the cosmos hypothesized by the Athenian philosopher Plato and his corresponding theory are replaced by the backbone golden mean based scaling pertinent to each of the four kinds of blocks. In the course of doing this we stretch and generalize Plato’s philosophical ideas to ultimately find out that it is essentially the deep philosophical origin of the golden mean number system of E-infinity Cantorian spacetime theory of high energy physics and quantum cosmology. Subsequently we use this new platonic form of E-infinity quantum set theory to uncover a remarkably rich Kaluza-Klein fractal version of Gross et al’s ingenious Heterotic superstring theory.
