The “reality” of the Higgs field

The Higgs Boson which was tentatively confirmed to exist on 14 March 2013 appears to confirm the existence of the Higgs field.  Its discovery is pivotal to the Standard Model and other theories within particle physics because it explains why some fundamental particles have mass when the symmetries controlling their interactions should require them to … Read more

Will time end?

Does time have an end?  If so when and where will it happen? This question is a difficult to answer definitively because if time does end no one would be able to find the time to tell us it had. How then can we determine if it will? One was is by analyzing what we … Read more

Dark Energy in four spatial dimensions

In 1998 a force called Dark Energy was discovered when the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) found that, a long time ago, the Universe was actually expanding more slowly than it is today.  In other words its expansion has not been slowing due to gravity, as everyone thought, it has been accelerating. Since then several different … Read more

Time dilation in four *spatial* dimensions

We have shown throughout the this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” there would many theoretical advantages to defining the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. One of them is that it would give explanation of why time is dilated in bodies that … Read more

Dark Energy in four *spatial* dimensions

In 1998 the Hubble Space Telescope when observing distant supernovae discovered that the Universe was expanding more slowly in the past than it is today. In other words the Universe has not been slowing due to gravity, as everyone thought, it has been accelerating.  No one expected this, no one knew how to explain it. … Read more
