The Quantum Enigma: the wave particle duality of existence

The Quantum Enigma or the discrepancy between the worldview implied by the accuracy of modern quantum mechanics and our Common sense (Sept. 1, 2008) understanding of reality is due to the incompleteness of its theoretical structure.   Its absurdity arises from the fact, as Werner Heisenberg one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics put it … 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

Gravity verses Dark energy

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 terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. One is that it allows one to understand the physical relationship between Dark Energy and gravity by extrapolating the … 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

How many dimensions do we need

to completely define the reality of our universe? Einstein was able to define the relativistic properties of motion and the equivalence of gravitational and accelerated reference frames in terms of the geometry of space-time.  However, as Lee Smolin mentions in Chapter Three (page 49) of his book “The Trouble with Physics” he was unable to … Read more
