What is the origin of kinetic energy and why should we care? Einstein was able to define the origins of gravity and potential energy associated with rest mass in terms of curvature or the changing geometry of a space-time manifold but he did not tell us anything about the causality of kinetic energy. For example … Read more
Astrophysicists have identified three possible fates for the universe, one is called the Big Crunch, where gravity takes over and begins to pull the cosmos back, compressing to one point. Another is the Big Rip, where the accelerative forces associated with Dark Energy causes it to expand at an every increasing rate until the galaxies, … Read more
Recent results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) confirmed that the universe is mainly made of “Dark Energy” thought to be responsible for the current acceleration of its expansion. But what would happen if the rate of acceleration remained constant or increased with time? The answer according to some is a “Big Rip” in … Read more
Is it possible to understand what came before the beginning of our present universe by projecting how matter energy space and time interact in our current universe to a time before it began? We think so. The Big Bang theory postulates the universe emerged from a singularity and is presently expanding from the tremendously hot … Read more
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
