"Do Virtual Photons Exist?" The Aether was original conceived as a means of explaining "forces acting at a distance" (i.e.- electric, magnetic, gravitation, et al). When the idea of the classical Aether was abandoned early in the century, there

| "The Impossibility of Measuring the Velocity of Light" | 16 Jul 2008 02:43 GMT | 3 |
"The Impossibility of Measuring the Velocity of Light" The idea that the velocity of light is the same no matter in what reference frame it is measured is fundamental to the modern sceince of physics. The premise started with the confusion resulting from failure of

| Relativistic Mass Expansion and Length Contraction | 14 Jul 2008 01:04 GMT | 9 |
If an observer combines mass expansion with length contraction of the theory of special relativity to a moving body, he finds an infinitely large mass occupying an infinitesimal volume, as the speed of light is approached. This just does not feel, sound or look right, unless the

| TRUE VALUE OF THE FINE STRUCTURE CONSTANT DISCOVERED | 12 Jul 2008 00:55 GMT | 1 |
For over half a century now Theoretical Physics academia has been desperately searching for the TRUE value of the Fine Structure Constant. The best "guess" so far from those scientists in Quantum Mechanics diligently working to find this correct value is:
