In the previous post we addressed the standard model(s)’s explanation of the transition from a universe comprised of a quark soup to the universe we observe today.  That previous…Read more

Let’s try to make sense of the standard model(s) that conjoin cosmology and current epoch particle physics to account for the transition from a universe comprised of a quark…Read more

It was stated earlier that Einstein’s insistence on an archaic notion of the law of transmission of light that was nothing more or less than common sense at the…Read more

Einstein was uncomfortable with notions associated with an inherent uncertainty implied by the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics.  Whether we ourselves might ever know the precise locations and/or momenta…Read more

(written twenty years ago) As Einstein vehemently maintained, it is the very nature of light (now most completely described by quantum theories) that is at the heart of the…Read more

To clarify the rather obtuse nature of the spacetime interval, consider that its value to every event one could ever observe is zero.  A non-trivial spacetime interval is not…Read more

As we have seen, the measured geometrical relations of observed events for two such relatively moving observers inevitably produce incongruent reports of the same events.  Some sort of commensurability…Read more

Surely whatever constructs support a valid formulation of the laws of physics transportable from one observer’s frame of reference to that of others in different dynamical situations must be…Read more

If one were to consider all the evidence for the supposed clock time dilation, it would fall into the general category of alterations in rates associated with the spontaneous…Read more

Previous posts have focused on the relationship between observations of visual images that could be seen by two relatively moving observers in order to check the veracity of claims…Read more
