Here is another analogy I found on Space.com "During this period, the universe doubled in size at least 90 times, going from subatomic-sized to golf-ball-sized almost instantaneously". So, I was wondering if we double a football 90 times, would it grow to be the size of the solar system? Or way...
An analogy to understand Cosmic Inflation: If the universe grew in size from a subatomic size to the size of a tennis ball (or softball) in a tiny fraction of a second, then a football inflated at the same rate will grow to an approximate size of our solar system. Is this a correct analogy...
I am writing a theory (if it may be called theory) on the relationship between subatomic particles and causality. Now, I have a question that I hope someone may answer for me. Is the existence of Dark Matter and/or Dark Energy a problem to Bell's theorem? What I mean to say is, Do Dark Matter...
Have you heard of the ideas of Dr. Amit Goswami? His website is www.amitgoswami.org
"Goswami is convinced, along with a number of others who subscribe to the same view, that the universe, in order to exist, requires a conscious sentient being to be aware of it. Without an observer, he claims...
The idea of a particle moving and being affected by external forces is followed by the idea of the field. Later on, we encounter the concept of quanta. This is certainly a simplistic way to put it, but it suffices to demonstrate that physics is an evolving system.
If we look at the...
"A nearby gamma-ray burst could possibly cause mass extinctions on Earth.[1] The short duration of a gamma-ray burst would limit the immediate damage to life. However, a nearby burst might alter atmospheric chemistry by reducing the ozone layer and generating acidic nitrogen oxides ultimately...
GRB's may be used as a "yard stick" to determine which galaxies are most likely to have planets with life. After all, how can something living survive a huge gamma explosion?
Gamma Ray Bursts are huge explosions in the Universe where a tremendous amount of energy is released and vanished in seconds. We are talking of billions of degrees hot. Now, just imagine GRB’s to be more frequent in our galaxy, how would this have affected life in our planet? How is the...
I've got an idea. Photons are the left overs of the interaction of Higgs bosons with Black Holes. I know that this idea may sound crazy, but it won't hurt to speculate. In General Relativity, we know that gravity drags escaping Photons making them to lose energy (redshift). In the same way...
