Light, Gravity and Energy
Gravity is known to affect the energy of photons. But it isn't immediately clear how this happens. Especially if we don't have a clear idea of what energy is. Let us therefore start with some basics regarding the nature of…
Force, Inertia and Energy
Newton introduced several concepts into physics in order to label the various parts of his equations. He did so without giving any specifics as to their fundamental nature. Labels such as force, inertia and energy were all defined in terms…
Sunspot Cycles
Ever since Galileo’s time, we have monitored the Sun closely. One thing that has been carefully registered is the number of sunspots visible at any given time.
What has been noted is
5.9 Year Cycles – The Gravity Puzzle
Conventional physics has gravity as a constant force that depends on mass alone.
There is a constant G associated with the equation expressing the relationship
Ignored Facts in Science
Contrary to popular belief, modern science is full of contradictions and unsolved puzzles, and it does not take more than mild curiosity to uncover these problems. Snell's law Reading about Snell's Law, we only need to take a quick look…
Understanding the Rainbow
The rainbow is fairly easy to understand in terms of particles. Many people have explained this phenomenon excellently before me, so I’m not going to
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
