For example, the “Big Bang” the most widely accepted theoretical model of the universe’s beginning assumes it was an … Read more

Quantum mechanics defines the position of all particles in the universe only in terms of the probabilistic values associated with Schrodinger’s wave equation.  In other words, it tells us that because they are defined in terms probabilities they are randomly distributed throughout the entire universe before being observed.  However, Einstein disagreed.  He felt one could … Read more

A fundamental issue in Einstein Theory of Relativity is if all motion is relative how can we measure the inertia of a body? Einstein and many others assumed we must measure it with respect to something else. But what if a particle is the only thing in the universe, how can we measure it. Mach, … Read more

Is it an intrinsic property of space that cause velocities to make sense only by saying that this is moving with respect to something while accelerations or changes in velocity don’t require comparisons to give them meaning? Newton came to conclusion it was based an experiment involving a bucket of water. Greene, Brian describes his … Read more

Is there lower limit to the size of our universe.  In other words, how many times can the universe and its mass components be divided up into smaller and smaller chunks until it can divided no farther. The answer would most likely be found in the two dormant theories, Quantum Mechanics and Einstein’s Theories of … Read more
