The Pauli Exclusion Principle is the quantum mechanical principle that says that two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. Presently it is defined in the terminology of quantum mechanics as when the wave function for two identical fermions is anti-symmetric with respect to exchange of the particles. In … Read more
Scientists have determined that roughly 70% of the Universe is dark energy while Dark matter makes up about 25%. The normal matter or everything ever observed with all of our instruments adds up to less than 5% of the Universe. The evidence for the existence of Dark matter comes from the detained analysis of the … Read more
Compton scattering is a type of scattering that X-rays and gamma rays undergo in matter. The inelastic scattering of photons in matter results in a decrease in energy (increase in wavelength) of an X-ray or gamma ray photon, called the Compton Effect. Part of the energy of the X/gamma ray is transferred to a scattering … Read more
We have shown through this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth spatial dimension” there are would be many theoretical advantages to defining the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. One is that it would allow physicists to define a particles mass and inertia by using one’s … 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 assuming the existence of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. One of them is that it would provide explanation for both the gravitational properties of particles and those of Dark Matter … Read more
