Predicts different experimental outcomes than present theoretical models
History has shown that science cannot save a theoretical model that does not reflect the “reality” of current observations by randomly adding new parameters. For example when the geocentric model of planetary motion was first proposed it was a good fit to the observational data available at the time. However it became necessary to modify … Read more
Scientist especially physicists should always remember that describing reality is different from defining it because history has shown that it is possible to accurately define or quantify an environment in terms of the mystical properties of a non-existent entity. In other words even though one can find equations to accurately quantify or define an environment … Read more
Does time have an end? If so when and where will it happen? This question is a difficult to answer definitively because if time does end no one would be able to find the time to tell us it had. How then can we determine if it will? One was is by analyzing what we … Read more
Quantum entanglement is the name that describes the way that particles can share information and interact with each other regardless of how far apart they are. For example an electron in certain atoms will spontaneously decay after being excited by emitting pairs of polarized photons such that one is aligned horizontally the other vertically. According … Read more
On page 297 of Sean Carroll’s book from “Eternity to Here” he discusses the difficulty in interrogating gravity with the second law of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics states the entropy or disorder of an isolated system either remains constant or increases with time and that no usable energy can be obtained from a … Read more
