Measuring Vacuum Permeability on Mercury
The laws of physics are assumed to be universal. This means that experiments performed on Earth should yield
Measuring Forces on Mercury
Mercury makes its rounds around the sun faster than predicted by Newton. A consequence of this is that Mercury's orbital precession is greater than expected by 43 seconds of arc per century. Curved space-time vs. aether The mainstream explanation for this is…
Magnetism, the Electric Force and the Speed of Light
When I developed the theory of physics presented here, I came to the conclusion that space must be filled with an aether consisting of low energy photons and neutrinos. All moving at the speed of light. These particles, which I call zero-point…
David Esker and the Shape of Dinosaurs
David Esker has a dinosaur theory. He thinks they grew as large as they did due to a buoyant atmosphere. Defending his theory I don't think David Esker is right, but he defends his theory well. Esker points out all sorts…
Thinking About Gravity
The theory of physics presented here came about as a result of some intriguing problems related to gravity. Puzzles and problems For one, the enormous size of many dinosaurs indicate that gravity was less strong in their time. On the…
David Esker’s Buoyant Atmosphere Theory
I first came across David Esker's buoyant atmosphere theory back in 2017. That was when I was developing my own theory, with an aim to explain how dinosaurs could have been as large as they were. Explaining and "solving" the…
Pure Energy Nonsense
Energy is often talked about as if it is a thing rather than a property, and this leads to a lot of confusion, with some people talking about pure energy as if such a thing exists. Profound sounding nonsense I…
The Nice Model of Solar System Evolution
The Nice model of solar system evolution is a fine example of the sort of theories that come from dogmatic consensus building. Developed in 2005 through general consensus, it's a hodgepodge of pre-existing ideas. It's also void of any kind of originality…
Sahara Dust Storms
The weather forecast was for sunny weather and temperatures reaching 20C, but instead we got three days with clouds and max temperatures of 17C. This hadn’t
The Primary Nature of All Things
Philosophy and religion has since the dawn of time dedicated much attention to questions related to the true nature of things. Myths, religion and theory Many concepts in modern theoretical physics can be traced back to these early ideas. Ancient…
