Incorporating electromagnetism in General Relativity

Einstein was often quoted as saying “If a new theory was not based on a physical image simple enough for a child to understand, it was probably worthless.” For example in his General Theory of Relativity he derived gravity in terms of a curvature in the geometry of space and time. Additionally he showed us … Read more

Dark Matter as a field property of space-time

In 1933 Fritz Zwicky a Swiss astronomer, was trying to measure the mass of a galactic cluster using two different methods. First he tried to infer it from the rational speed of the galaxies around the center of the clusters.  Just like kids on a merry-go-round have to hold on to avoid being ejected, galaxies … Read more

The abuse of imagination in Physics

Most would agree that imagination is powerful tool for scientists when used correctly because it allows them to visuals worlds that are beyond their ability to observe. However their are some who wrongly believe that they can build successful theoretical models of our world based imagination or concepts that only exist in their minds. For … Read more

The mathematics of the real world

Mathematics is the primary tool many of today’s science use to define the causality of the physical laws governing of our observable universe. However it is by definition is an abstract creation of the mind and therefore is not physically connected to the observable real world, most of us believe we live in. Therefore, we … Read more

Why the cosmological constant is what it is.

“Einstein once said, “What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world. This is a fundamental question.  Compared to this question, all others seem trivial. Yes, God would have had many choices if He had wanted to create a barren universe. However, in order to create a universe … Read more
