Did Einstein predict Quantum Entanglement in 1905?

Quantum entanglement is defined “as a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently instead, a quantum state may be given for the system as a whole”. Einstein referred to this as “spooky action at … Read more

Population III Stars: what their absence tells us about the evolution of the universe.

Cosmologists have defined three different classifications of stars based on their elemental makeup.  Population I or those that contain relatively large concentrations of the heavy metals, Population II or those that have much less and Population III which are composed entirely hydrogen, helium and very small amounts of lithium and beryllium no heavy metals.  Although … Read more

The story of life in four spatial dimensions.

One of the most puzzling questions in modern cosmology is why the density of matter and energy appears to be find tuned to the value that allowed life to evolve. For example the density of mass to energy in the early universe must have been very close to a specific value to explain how stars … Read more

Finding Dark Matter

Here is an amazing fact: The matter we know that makes up all stars and galaxies only accounts for 5% of the content of the universe. The rest is called dark matter.  It does not interact with the electromagnetic force and therefore does not absorb, reflect or emit light, making it extremely hard to spot.  … Read more

Infinities: what do they mean for Quantum theory.

Something that is infinite or the quality of having no limits or end cannot exist or be a part of the physically observable environment we live in primarily because it is finite. Some might disagree by pointing out that we cannot know the full extent of our universe because the speed of light puts limits … Read more
