My name is Jeff and I would like to share my thoughts with you regarding ”The State of our understanding of the universe.”

In Thomas S. Kuhn’s book "The Structure of Scientific Revolution" he documents the doubts that precipitate a paradigm change in scientific thought.

For example, even though one could still make accurate predictions of planetary motions using Ptolemy’s Epicycles it became increasing more difficult to integrate that concept with the more accurate observational data provided by the new technologies of that day.  This resulted in some scientists questioning their validity.

He suggests the doubt generated by its persistent inability of to explain new data lead many scientists to adopt the simpler rules of the revolutionary heliocentric model.

Modern physics appears to be on the verge of a similar revolution because the discoveries of dark matter and dark energy are extremely difficult to integrate into its current theoretical models.

As Thomas S. Kuhn points out failure of an existing paradigm is a prelude to the search for a new one.

Tis blog continues the search that began in its companion book the "The Reality of Four Spatial Dimensions".

Each article covers one aspect of a search for the "reality" it defines.  For example, the article "What is dark energy" defines its casually in terms of an interaction of three-dimensional space with a fourth.

This blog is not meant to derive the answers found in the book "The Reality of Four Spatial Dimensions".  Instead it was meant to give the scientific community the specific information and experiment techniques it requires to either verify or falsify it contents.  It relies less on mathematics and more on conceptual logic and thought experiments (much like Albert Einstein did) to show how one can explain and predict all modern observations by extrapolating the rules defining classical three-dimensional space to a fourth spatial dimension.
