Before the discovery of Dark Energy cosmologists had two models of how the universe’s expansion would end. In first scenario, there would be enough matter in the universe to slow the expansion to the point where, like the baseball, it would come to a halt and the gravitational forces associated with it would result in … Read more
One of the biggest problems in theoretical cosmology is understanding why we have been unable to observe the Graviton or the quantum of gravitational force. Some have attributed this to the fact that its interaction with matter is not strong enough to be detected by modern instrumentation. However the reason may be because gravity is … Read more
Both Einstein’s General and Special Theories of Relativity define macroscopic properties of energy/mass in terms of the continuous properties of four dimensional space-time while quantum mechanics defines its microscopic properties in terms of the discontinuous properties of three-dimensional space. However finding a way of conceptually integrating them has proven to be extremely difficult for two … Read more
Albert Einstein in the address “Aether and the theory of Relativity” delivered on May 5th 1920 at the University of Leyden Germany indicated that The General Theory of Relativity predicts, “space is endowed with physical qualities”. “Recapitulating, we may say that according to the General Theory of Relativity space is endowed with physical qualities; in … Read more
According to Newton’s view, force does not the cause motion but only a change in it and because a freely moving object continues to move inertia and motion in itself needs no causal explanation. However as Gao, Shan points out in on page 29 of his book “God Does Play Dice with the Universe” there … Read more
