The fact that we need two theories to explain the evolution of our universe means that one of them must have originated before the other. For example Einstein’s relativistic and gravitational theories can explain predict the evolution of the large scale structure and movement of the stars and planets but cannot explain the structure of … Read more
Before the discovery of Dark Energy cosmologists had two models of how the universe’s expansion would end. In first scenario, there would be enough matter in the universe to slow the expansion to the point it would come to a halt and gravitational forces would cause it to begin contracting which eventually would result in … Read more
In relativistic physics a field is defined as a continuous physical quantity that has a value for each point in space and time while Relativistic Quantum Field Theory (QFT) defines particles as excited states of an underlying physical field. However there is a conceptual discontinuity between QFT and its relativistic component because it is based … Read more
History has shown the advantages to reformulating or expanding an existing theory or law to a wider environment. For example Kepler’s Laws are wonderful as a description of the motions of the planets. However, they provide no explanation of why the planets move in that way. Moreover, Kepler’s Third Law only works for planets orbiting … Read more
Before the discovery of Dark Energy cosmologists had two models of how the universe’s expansion would end. In first scenario, there would be enough matter in the universe to slow the expansion to the point where, like the baseball, it would come to a halt and the gravitational forces associated with it would result in … Read more
