Causality, explanation, and deductions of predictions

This may be why we found Karl Poppers book “The Logic of Scientific Discovery” so interesting because in it he describes how the advance and growth of science rests on a doctrine of falsifiability and only those theories that are testable and falsifiable by observations add value to a scientific community. On page 39, he … Read more

What is Physics about?

Most will agree the goal of Physics is to define the laws of nature and provide an understanding of the why they translate to the universe we know. However, there may be some disagreement on how to approach it. For example, a classical approach would be to observe how matter and energy interact with our … Read more

What is the universe expanding towards?

We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” there are many observations suggesting space is composed of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. The expansion of the universe is one of them. The Standard Model of Cosmology and Particle Physics defines the structure of the … Read more

Beyond the Standard Model

For the past 25 years, the Standard Model of particle physics has given us a complete mathematical description of the particles and forces that shape our world.  Its predictions have matched experimental data, decimal place for decimal place, with amazing precision. But for all of its successes it still cannot be considered the ultimate theory … Read more
