A viable alternative to the anthropic principle

In physics and cosmology, the Anthropic principle is a way of understanding why the observations of our physical universe must be compatible with the life.  Many feel it is the only way to explain the observation that the laws of nature and its fundamental physical constants remarkably take on values that are consistent with conditions … Read more

The Geometry of Young’s Double Slit Experiment

We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” that observations of our environment suggest that space is composed of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. If true one should be able to explain and predict the results of Young’s “Double-slit experiment in terms of that geometry. … Read more

Does anti-matter fall up?

We may soon know because the scientists at CERN have been given the go-ahead to perform an experiment that will determine if it does.  As describe in the NewScientist article “Antimatter mysteries 3: Does antimatter fall up?” Apr 29, 2009, the AEGIS team will use uncharged particles to prevent electromagnetic forces from drowning out gravitational … Read more

Dark energy: the cosmological constant

We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” observations of our environment suggest the universe is composed of four *spatial* dimensions rather than four-dimensional space-time as is suggested by Einstein’s theories. The recent discovery of Dark Energy is one of those observations. As Alexey Vikhlinin of the … Read more

An alternative to a singularity?

Many physicists assume based on the General Theory of Relativity the mass of larger stars that have used up their nuclear fuel will implode to form a singularity or black hole.  (A singularity is defined as region of space in which mass is concentrated in a one-dimensional point in space and whose gravitational field is … Read more
