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
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
Time holds a unique place in science and the human consciousness. Some say it is only an invention of the human mind that gives us a sense of order, a before and after so to speak while many physicists define it in terms of the physical properties of a space-time dimension. Both of these definitions … Read more
