Standard textbook physics tells us that neutrons are fundamental particles. However, it's well known that such particles cannot exist outside of atomic nuclei for more than 15 minutes before they decay into a proton, an electron and a neutrino. Free…
There's no way to measure or register any time unit that is shorter than the time it takes a photon to cross an electron. From this, it follows that absolute precision is impossible, and that uncertainty is an inescapable part…
Having discovered the fundamental constant h, which relates energy to frequency, Max Planck realized that he had all the constants required to calculate fundamental units of length, mass, time, charge and temperature. Simple approach By playing around with fundamental constants…
Planck's constant h relates the energy carried by a photon to its frequency. This gave rise to our current understanding of particles, light and the entire field of quantum physics. Remarkable discovery It's well worth reading how Planck arrived at…
When we talk about time in physics, it's always about measured time. To talk about time in any other way is not physics. It doesn't belong to the realm of this discipline. Physical clocks This means that all discussions about…
I have in my books proposed an aether made up of low energy photons and neutrinos. The reason being that this would explain the spontaneous appearances and disappearances of photons in the production of light. It would also explain the…
The proton-electron model of the atom described in my book on physics has no neutrons in the nucleus. Instead, there are protons with electrons acting as glue to keep everything together. I have no special reason to choose this model…
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.
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…
Nature has a tendency towards efficiency. Not only do we see efficiency play a role in physics and chemistry. It shows up in biology and human behavior as well. This was
