We have shown throughout this blog observations of our environment suggest the universe may be composed of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. The observation that the energy contained in systems is related to distance not time is one of them. For example, the potential energy per unit volume of water in a dam is … Read more
Neither Quantum mechanics nor Einstein theories can give us the answer. One reason may be because quantum mechanics focuses on the mathematical properties of energy while Einstein forced on the physical properties of mass. For example Quantum mechanics defines the position and momentum purely in terms of a mathematical construct know as the wave equation … Read more
One of the more puzzling aspects of our universe is explaining how particles such a photon can have the properties of electromagnetic wave. However this maybe due to a lack of the understanding of the mechanism responsible for the formation of a particle. For example the article “Why is energy/mass quantized?” shown one can explain … Read more
As the article This Month in Physics APS News documents Albert Einstein spent the last thirty years of his life on a fruitless quest for a way to combine gravity and electromagnetism into a single elegant theory. He along with several other scientists, including Theodor Kaluza showed that by extending space-time to five dimensions, one … Read more
Time holds a unique place in science and the human consciousness. However, defining or describing what it is extremely difficult. Some define it only in the abstract saying that is an invention of the human consciousness that gives us a sense of order, a before and after so to speak. However many physicists define it … Read more
