Electromagnetism: a new perspective Einstein would have like.

Einstein was often quoted as saying “If a new theory was not based on a physical image simple enough for a child to understand, it was probably worthless.” For example in his General Theory of Relativity he derived the causality of gravity in terms of a curvature in the geometry of space and time. One … 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

Scientific irrationality: is it really necessary?

Have you ever wondered why so many seeming rational scientists make irrational assumptions to explain why our universe behaves the way it does and why Einstein was unable see, as Robert Oerter pointed out in his book “The Theory of Almost Everything: the magic of Relativistic Quantum Electrodynamics or QED. He tells us the reason … Read more

Quantum energy distribution: a classical interpretation

Einstein was often quoted as saying “If a new theory was not based on a physical image simple enough for a child to understand, it was probably worthless.” For example one can easily understand how the curvature in space-time can be the causality of gravitational forces in terms of the physical image of a marble … Read more

The observer effect in quantum mechanics: a classical interpretation

One of the weirdness aspect of a quantum environment is that the act of observation defines its reality. For example as long as you are not actually observing an electron, its behavior is that of a wave of probability however moment you do it is becomes a particle.  But as soon as you are not … Read more
