A quantum of space-time

Both Einstein’s General and Special Theories of Relativity define macroscopic properties of energy/mass in terms of the continuous properties of four dimensional space-time while quantum mechanics defines its microscopic properties in terms of the discontinuous properties of three-dimensional space.  However finding a way of conceptually integrating them has proven to be extremely difficult for two … Read more

The illusion that is time.

Does time have a physical existence?  If it does why are we not able point to it and say there it is?  If it does not why do physicists define our universe in terms of its physical properties? This question is relevant because Einstein theories, the foundation of modern cosmology are based on the physical … Read more

Is time eternal?

Is time an eternity or does it have a beginning and end? This question is very difficult to answer because current theories are only able to describe what happened after the beginning of our universe.  In other words how the universe came about and whether there is any meaning to a “before” or “after” is … Read more

The causality of time

Time holds a unique place in science and the human consciousness.  Some say it is only an invention of the human mind that gives us a sense of order, a before and after so to speak while many physicists define it in terms of the physical properties of a space-time dimension. Both of these definitions … Read more

Gravitational lensing

We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” it is possible to define a universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions in a manner that makes predictions identical with those of Einstein’s Special and General Theories of Relativity while at the same time defining several theoretical advantages … Read more
