The Casimir Effect
The Casimir effect is a weak force, usually attractive, that acts between two neutral surfaces in close proximity to each other.
The existence of this force was predicted
Galactic Super-Waves
When studying the ice core measurements of Greenland and the Antarctic, we notice an interesting pattern. Earth’s climate appears to repeat in great cycles of about 120.000 years.
Extraterrestrials
When we think of extraterrestrials, we tend to think of little green men in flying saucers. However, no intelligence is needed to travel between planets and solar systems. There is a whole range of organisms that can do this. The…
Newton’s Cradle – Energy and Inertia
The strict particle model presented here makes no distinction between the subatomic level and macrolevel when it comes to motion. However, it does make two bold claims. One is that inertia is time delay in energy transfers. The other one…
The Weight of the Proton
The proton has been measured and found lacking in weight. The difference between the expected weight and the measured weight was a full three
Three Energy Levels at the Subatomic
Detectable photons and neutrinos travel in straight lines. They do not interact much with each other and are largely unaffected by electromagnetic
The Eye of the Sahara
Africa has an eye that stares into space, complete with a dark pupil and blue iris. It's located in western Sahara, in the country of Mauritania. Its official name is the Rhichat Structure. Satellite picture of the Richat Structure By…
The Size of Phaeton
The total mass of the asteroid belt is approximately 4% of our Moon. Enough to make some believe that the asteroid belt is the remnants of a planet named Phaeton. Supposedly destroyed in a cataclysmic event that took place recent…
The Receding Moon
Our Moon is receding from us by about 3.8 cm a year. The conventional explanation for this is that the energy required to produce the tides of the Earth’s oceans translates into
The Twist of the Birkeland Current
Everywhere we look in the world around us, we find spiraling patterns. The shell of the Nautilus is often used as a symbol for this. The double helix
