The relevance of classical mechanics to a quantum environment.

Presently there is disconnect between our understanding of the probabilistic world of quantum mechanics and the classical one of causality because it can predict with precision the future position of an object while the other cannot. However this may just be an illusion resulting from a lack of understanding of the quantum environment. One of … Read more

Dark Energy and Ockham’s razor

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

Dark Matter and the expanding universe.

In the 1920 American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble discovered that our universe isn’t static but was expanding.  Ever since then, scientists have been trying to refine there measurement of size and rate of the universe’s expansion rate. However it is a hard thing to measurement. Presently their three primary the methods used to determine its … Read more

A classical interpretation of observer based reality.

Can one integrate the quantum mechanical interpretation of electromagnetism with the classical concepts of a particle and wave?  We think so. One of the most troubling aspects of its interpretation at least to classical or relativistic physicists is how the role of an observer defines the system under observation. For example many of the proponents … Read more

The connection between space and time

One of the enduring mysteries Einstein left us is what physically happens to the time dimension as one approach the speed of light.  Is it replaced by another dimension as F. Eren ÇıracıoÄŸlu suggested in his comment to our article “What antimatter can tell us about the geometry of our world?” Mar. 31, 2016 or … Read more
