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
In 1998 a force called Dark Energy was discovered when the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) found that, a long time ago, the Universe was actually expanding more slowly than it is today. In other words its expansion has not been slowing due to gravity, as everyone thought, it has been accelerating. Since then several different … Read more
Is our universe made up of particles or fields? On the one hand quantum physics tells that the universe is made up of discrete units of energy/mass while relativistic physics tells us it is composed of a continuous field of space-time Unfortunately these two ideas do not work well together because a continuous field by … Read more
Einstein told us that energy and mass are interchangeable however he did not define what mass is. He only told us how mass interacts with space-time. As Steven Weinberg said “Mass tells space-time how to curve while space-time tells mass how to move”. However Einstein’s inability to define or derive the casualty of mass is … Read more
We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” there would be many theoretical advantages to defining space in terms four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. One of them is that it would allow one to understand the classical origins of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle by extrapolating … Read more
