How can we be sure that the mathematical universes we create actually exist in nature? Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac addressed this issue in a lecture he delivered on February 6, 1939 regarding “The Relation between Mathematics and Physics“. “The physicist, in his study of natural phenomena, has two methods of making progress: (1) the method … Read more
Many physicists assume the General Theory of Relativity predicts that all the mass in a black hole is concentrated at its center in a singularity or a point which has zero volume and infinite density However the idea it can be concentrated in a non-dimensional point of infinite density with zero volume is a bit … Read more
In 1933 Fritz Zwicky a Swiss astronomer, was trying to measure the mass of a galactic cluster using two different methods. First he tried to infer it from the rational speed of the galaxies around the center of the clusters. Just like kids on a merry-go-round have to hold on to avoid being ejected, galaxies … Read more
It should be remember both sides of most stories have a lesson. For example, many sci-fi writers use the fact that the gravitational force of a black hole is so intense that nothing can escape from its “clutches” to develop their story lines. However, many of them fail to point out the other side of … Read more
We have shown though out this blog observations of our environment suggest that space is composed of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass. The observation that one can completely define a black hole in terms of just two numbers; its mass and spin is one of them. The video to the right prepared by the Chandra … Read more
