Particles or fields you cannot have it both ways

Is our universe made up of particles or fields?  On the one hand quantum physics tells that the universe is made up of discrete units of energy/mass while relativistic physics tells us it is composed of a continuous field of space-time Unfortunately these two ideas do not work well together because a continuous field by … Read more

The fabric of the cosmos

What is the fabric of the cosmos? Einstein told us that it is made up of a dynamic balance between the properties of space and time. For example he told us that space is a sort of multidimensional fabric, where the presence of mass causes the fabric of space-time to curve.  However he did not … Read more

Dark Matter and its affect on Hubble’s law

Would the existence of Dark Matter affect Hubble’s laws and our understanding of evolution of the universe? In the article “What is Dark Matter?” Sept 10, 2007 it was shown that assuming space is composed of a continuous field of energy/mass would give an explanation for the gravitational component of Dark Matter that is consistent … Read more

Mass, inertia, and the Higgs Boson

We have shown through this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth spatial dimension” there are would be many theoretical advantages to defining the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. One is that it would allow physicists to define a particles mass and inertia by using one’s … Read more

The “Relativity” of a four dimensional Newtonian universe

We have shown throughout this blog that there would be many theoretical advantages to defining the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space- time. One is that it would allow for the theoretical derivation of the relativistic of properties of three-dimensional space and the inertial properties of energy/mass in terms of … Read more
