A tetraneutron is a cluster of four neutrons bundled together. Such clusters were believed to be purely hypothetical, with no chance of existing, so the recent news of their existence means that something is not quite right with current models. Unstable The tetraneutron…
Newton assumes in his work that gravity is a monopole acting with equal force in all directions, regardless of intervening matter. These assumptions are central to his shell theorem which
Wikipedia's article on time dilation makes it sound like Einstein's equations are used to pre-calculate satellite orbits. However, there are too many unpredictable factors related to satellite orbits for this to be true. Unpredictable factors To mention but a few…
According to general relativity, clocks slow down in the presence of massive bodies. This is known as time dilation due to gravity. The effect of gravity is in other
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…
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
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…
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…
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
