We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” there would be many theoretical advantages to defining space in terms four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. One of them is that it would allow one to understand the classical origins of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle by extrapolating … Read more
The measurement problem in quantum mechanics is the unresolved problem of how (or if) wavefunction collapse occurs. The inability to observe this process directly has given rise to different interpretations of quantum mechanics, and poses a key set of questions that each interpretation must answer. The wavefunction in quantum mechanics evolves according to the Schrödinger … Read more
We have shown throughout this blog there would be many theoretical advantages to defining space in terms of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass and four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. One is that it would allow one to understand why a proton and an election have different masses even though the absolute magnitude … Read more
As Brian Greene pointed out in his book “The Elegant Universe“, one of the unsolved mysteries of modern particle physics is why every fundamental particle encountered to date can be group into three families. “Physicists have recognized a pattern among these particles displayed in the following table. The matter particles neatly fall into three groups, … Read more
