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
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
In 1928 Paul Dirac developed through complex mathematical calculations a theory that integrated quantum mechanics, used to describe the subatomic world, with Einstein’s Special Relativity, which says nothing travels faster than light. However, he soon realized his equations not only worked for an electron with negative charge. It also worked for a particle that behaves … Read more
Quantum Chromodynamics a subset of the Standard Model of Particle Physics gives a very accurate mathematical description of the strong force that hold quarks together in protons and neutrons in terms of a gauge theory with the symmetry group of SU(3). However it does not define how that force physically interacts with them to do … Read more
Have you ever wondered why so many seeming rational scientists make irrational assumptions to explain why our universe behaves the way it does and why Einstein was unable see, as Robert Oerter pointed out in his book “The Theory of Almost Everything: the magic of Relativistic Quantum Electrodynamics or QED. He tells us the reason … Read more
