If Light was Waves
If light is a wave and glass is something that changes the wavelength of light as it moves through it, then Snell’s Law should apply.
Blue light, associated with short wave lengths
Stability of the Solar System
The stability of our solar system is one of the oldest problems in theoretical physics, dating back to Isaac Newton. Newton used his laws of force and motion to determine the motion of a single planet around the Sun. However,…
Magnetic Fields of Planets
Current understanding of planetary magnetic fields is that they are the products of what is loosely termed dynamo currents.
Below ground currents
In the case of our own planet
Earth’s Asymmetrical Expansion
Most of Earth’s continents are located in the northern hemisphere. This may be mere coincidence, or it may have an explanation similar to
Lunar South Pole
The south pole of our moon has deeper craters and taller ridges than the north pole. The processes involved in carving out the landscape of our moon appear
Higgs Boson
The Higgs Boson is an essential part of the standard model of elementary particles. It is needed to explain mass and the extremely short range of the weak force.
Solar Neutrinos
The standard solar model has the Sun as a fusion reactor, compressing hydrogen into deuterium and subsequently into helium in its super-dense core.
Jupiter’s Large and Diffuse Core
According to measurements taken by NASA's space craft Juno in the spring of 2017, Jupiter has a large and diffuse core. This was not expected by NASA's astronomers. Because they base their predictions on conventional ideas related to planetary formation…
The One Theory Fallacy
Most people will agree that there's only one reality. We may have different views of it. We may disagree on the facts. But there can only be one theory that's 100% correct. Reality is coherent. So, there can be but…
Mass is an Abstraction
There is a lot of confusion around the concept of mass in physics. The most common mistake is to confuse matter for mass as if the two things are the same. However, mass is a property of matter in interaction…
