In physics, the conservation laws state the measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. They include the laws of conservation of energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, and electric charge. However these laws suggest the existence of another more fundamental one that physically defines their causality. For … Read more
For the past 50 years, the Standard Model of particle physics has given us a complete mathematical description of the particles and forces that shape our world with the exception of gravity. It predicts with so much accuracy the microscopic properties of particles and the macroscopic ones of stars and galaxies that many physicists feel … Read more
Understanding the connection between space and time is difficult because we cannot see time or space even though we can perceive the void in space when it contains nothing Additionally defining or describing what time is extremely difficult. Some define it only in the abstract saying that is an invention of the human consciousness that … Read more
Quantum entanglement is defined “as a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently instead, a quantum state may be given for the system as a wholeâ€. Einstein referred to this as “spooky action at … Read more
Ockham’s razor is the idea that, in trying to understand something, getting unnecessary information out of the way is the fastest way to the truth or to the best explanation. For example Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is based on the relative simple concept of a curvature in a space-time metric. Granted the math required … Read more
