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

What antimatter can tell us about the geometry of our world?

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

Which came first the Quantum chicken or Relativistic egg?

The fact that we need two theories to explain the evolution of our universe means that one of them must have originated before the other. For example Einstein’s relativistic and gravitational theories can explain predict the evolution of the large scale structure and movement of the stars and planets but cannot explain the structure of … Read more

The casualty of time.

Understanding what time is and its causality is not easy in part because it is something that cannot be seen or touched.  For example some define it only in the abstract saying that is an invention of the human consciousness that gives us a sense of order, a before and after so to speak.  In … Read more

Space-time or four *spatial* dimensions?

There are many theories that attempt to explain what we observed in our three dimensional environment in terms of higher dimensions.  However they all suffer from the same problem in that the existence of those higher dimensions are primarily based on abstract on mathematical models.  The reason is because we as three dimensional beings are … Read more
