Richard Feynman on pages 24 and 25 of his book “The Character of Physical Laws†describes how both gravitational and electrical forces are linked in terms of a common relationship with respect to the inverse square law. “The inverse square law appears again in the electrical laws, for instance, electricity also exerts forces inversely as … Read more
Scientists have determined that roughly 70% of the Universe is dark energy while Dark matter makes up about 25%. The normal matter or everything ever observed with all of our instruments adds up to less than 5% of the Universe. The evidence for the existence of Dark matter comes from the detained analysis of the … Read more
As Michael D Fayer explains in Chapter two of his book “Absolutely Small How Quantum Theory Explains Our Everyday World” the difference between classical and quantum phenomena depend on the definition of size. Classical mechanics assumes size is relative. In other words we determine if something is big or small by comparing it to something … Read more
We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth Spatial Dimension” there would be many theoretical advantages to assuming the existence of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. One of them is that it would provide explanation for both the gravitational properties of particles and those of Dark Matter … Read more
Time holds a unique place in science and the human consciousness. Some say it is only an invention of the human mind that gives us a sense of order, a before and after so to speak while many physicists define it in terms of the physical properties of a space-time dimension. Both of these definitions … Read more
