  • Escape From Shadow Physics

    Quantum Theory, Quantum Reality and the Next Scientific Revolution

    by Adam Forrest Kay ...
    The received wisdom in quantum physics is that, at the deepest levels of reality, there are no actual causes for atomic events. This idea led to the outlandish belief that quantum objects - indeed, reality itself - aren't real unless shaped by human measurement. Einstein mocked this idea, asking whether his bed spread out across his room unless he looked at it. And yet it remains one of the most ... Read more

  • Space, Time and Gravitation: An Outline of the General Relativity Theory

    by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington ...
    By his theory of relativity Albert Einstein has provoked a revolution of thought in physical science.The achievement consists essentially in this:|Einstein has succeeded in separating far more completely than hitherto the share of the observer and the share of external nature in the things we see happen. The perception of an object by an observer depends on his own situation and circumstances; for ... Read more

    Series Book 1 - The Science Behind
    Astronomers agree the universe has more stars in it then there are grains of sand on Earth.  They would also agree that we are within only decades of discovering that the universe is teeming with life and probably intelligent life. Given that there are stars billions of years older than our own sun, it is probable that there is intelligent life more advanced than that on Earth. Fifty years ago ... Read more

  • Black Holes

    Gravitation, #18

    by James Constant ...
    Series Book 18 - Gravitation
    Black holes are theoretically hypothesized astronomical objects in all theories of gravitation. By definition, black holes emit no photons and, therefore, all information about black holes is being sought indirectly, by formulating theories and seeking observations. The likelihood of observing and detecting black holes is at nearest distances, likely inside and nearest the centers of galaxies, ... Read more

  • Sommerfeld's and Einstein's Precession of Perihelia

    Gravitation, #13

    by James Constant ...
    Series Book 13 - Gravitation
    The problem of explaining the precession of the perihelion for planet Mercury has not been solved by any theory, Sommerfeld's, Newton's, or Einstein's. Sommerfeld's analysis of atomic orbits, so successful in explaining atomic orbits, fails when applied to planetary orbits. Nevertheless, if application of Sommerfeld's analysis to explaining planetary orbits is correct, one must conclude that ... Read more
