The future of science may depend on looking to the past to determine the best way forward because most modern theories are based on mathematics which cannot be understood or interpreted in terms of our physical environment.  For example the standard model of particle physics mathematically defines a particle  as a one dimensional or point … Read more

Can we see the invisible?  Of course not because if we could it would not be invisible.

We have shown throughout this blog that it is more consistent with observations to define the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time. The electrical properties of quarks are one of those observations. In the article “Why is energy/mass quantized?“  Oct. 4, 2007  it was shown the properties of a particle could … Read more

It should be remember both sides of most stories have a lesson. For example, many sci-fi writers use the fact that the gravitational force of a black hole is so intense that nothing can escape from its “clutches” to develop their story lines.  However, many of them fail to point out the other side of … Read more
