Empty space will produce electrons and positrons if subjected to a sufficiently strong electrical force. Ordinary matter can thus be produced out of the vacuum of space. However, the appearance of this matter is short lived. Most of the electron-positron…
Morton Spears’ calculations on the relative sizes of neutrons, protons and electrons leave us with two separate ways to describe the size of particles.
In the physics presented here, energy is modelled as size at the subatomic. Specifically, it's the surface area of subatomic particles. Mass-energy equivalence So, a stretched surface translates into an increase in energy. It also translates into an increase in…
Onar Åm, who prompted me to embark on my journey into physics some seven years ago, has repeatedly criticized me
I brought up the subject of time and motion with my ten year old son the other day. When I asked him if time would stop if all motion everywhere stopped, he replied that such a situation would be like…
Quantum entanglement is one of the weirdest phenomena in physics. The way it works is that two particles that have
It is well know that physical processes slow down at high speeds. Energy transfers take more time. Clocks grind to a halt. Einstein explains this in his theory of relativity. But there are other ways to explain it. Using the…
Studies of seismic data have revealed that Earth contains two large structures. One is located under the west coast of Africa. The other is located under the Pacific, at the opposite side from the African blob. Standard explanations There are two…
The laws of physics are assumed to be universal. This means that experiments performed on Earth should yield
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…
