I am a beam of light traveling from a distant star

Like a human with two sides to their personality, the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I behave like a wave in some cases, for example, when I am cruising across the universe, and like a solid object in others, literally a tiny, massless ball of light known as a photon.  I am a beam… Continue reading I am a beam of light traveling from a distant star

Physicists finally get off their ass and propose a new theory for the origin of the universe

A new study from the University of Ottawa attempts to resolve the insurmountable challenges facing the Big Bang theory by proposing the universe is almost twice as old as previously believed and that light loses energy over the eons. The scientific community appears to have largely shrugged, but it’s a good start. Almost two years… Continue reading Physicists finally get off their ass and propose a new theory for the origin of the universe

Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two

It is a sign of our times that a green haired, eye-shadowed non-binary person wearing a dress with hairy legs sums up the position of establishment scientists for the BBC more succinctly than many of them ever would or could. The establishment, as ever, is likely wrong... We are prisoners of our minds and the… Continue reading Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two

We need a physics based on the uniqueness of each moment

Two scientists writing for The New York Times dare to note that the Big Bang might be unravelling before our eyes and consider what might come next. What we need most, in my opinion, is a new physics of time... Last week, I was somewhat astounded to read – in The New York Times of… Continue reading We need a physics based on the uniqueness of each moment

Modern physics continues to be more fantasy than reality

Recent claims to have created a wormhole and a blackhole in a lab are actually based on simulations of each instead of real world experiments.  This follows other theories that everything is happening all at once and we are all one with the universe, but where is the evidence and why do physicists refuse to… Continue reading Modern physics continues to be more fantasy than reality

ChatGPT and the physics evolution built into our brains

Next generation chat software that delivers a more realistic conversational experience, can do research, and write stories has set the technology and media worlds on fire, but beneath the surface ChatGPT reveals one of the things that makes human intelligence so unique.  We have physics built into our brain by evolution. The technology and media… Continue reading ChatGPT and the physics evolution built into our brains

No, we are most certainly not living in a simulation out of The Matrix

The anthropic principle cannot be solved by proposing the existence of simulated or alternative universes.  Indeed, it needs no solution at all, but that hasn’t prevented scientists from wandering far afield in search of an answer without a real question.  At least this time they claim there’s an experiment that could prove it… Once upon… Continue reading No, we are most certainly not living in a simulation out of The Matrix

The Big Bang theory blows up, imploding under its inability to properly describe the universe

There’s a crisis in physics prompted by advanced technology including the new James Webb Space Telescope.  The distant universe looks nothing like the Big Bang theory predicts, but instead of coming clean, astronomers are making excuses because some theories are too big to fail.  It will be at least a decade before they admit the… Continue reading The Big Bang theory blows up, imploding under its inability to properly describe the universe

Modern physics and the way the universe actually works

What can the scientific community do to return to theories grounded in reality, testable against the evidence, and make meaningful strides toward a better understanding of the universe and our place in it?  There are ways to test the underpinnings of our physics if we will only try. Last week, I argued that modern physics… Continue reading Modern physics and the way the universe actually works

Modern physics is as faith-based and evidence-free as any religion

New theories abound, but sadly few if any can be proved by experiment in the traditional scientific manner.  Instead, whether scientists are claiming there is no such thing as time or the universe sprung from an anti-universe, they are exercises in mathematics completely divorced from reality and observation.  This is why we’ve had no new… Continue reading Modern physics is as faith-based and evidence-free as any religion
