Quantum confinement: a classical explanation

One of the conceptual problems that has been largely ignored in modern quantum theory is what defines the boundaries of a quantum system after an observation is made. Quantum theories define a particle’s position before one is made in terms of the probabilities associated with Schrödinger’s wave equation.  In other words there is a non … Read more

A background independent quantum gravity

We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” there are many theoretical advantages to defining the universe in term of the existence four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. One of the fundamental difficulties in unifying Quantum Mechanics with Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is … Read more

What is the universe expanding towards

In 1929 Edwin Hubble and Milton L. Humason published their research which provided the first observational evidence that our universe is expanding. Since then there have been many other observations supporting this conclusion. However these observations also tell us that three-dimensional space is not expanding towards a time but a higher spatial dimension. Unfortunately Einstein … Read more

How is space expanding

Before 1929 many cosmologists were using Einstein General Theory of Relativity to define a static universe or one that does not change with time.  Einstein was so convinced of this that he added in an “adhoc” manner a cosmological constant to it to force it to agree with that belief.  But in that year Edwin … Read more

The Flatness Problem

“The Flatness Problem” as it has come to be called by many cosmologist relates to the observation that some of the initial conditions of the universe appear to fine-tuned to very “special” values, and that a small deviation from these values would have had massive effects on the physical properties of the universe as it … Read more
