"The Limitations of Mathematics in Physics"
    The present philosophy in theoretical physics is to search for
mathematical relationships that predict experimental results that are then
used to verify the validity of the mathematics in defining our physical

"General Relativity Examined"
    In 1915 Dr. Einstein published the General Theory of Relativity. It
accepted the Principle of Relativity (the laws and constants of the Science
of Physics were the same in all reference frames) as a postulate (upon which

In classical mechanics, energy, mass, charge,.... are unique properties
of objects. We can't say that one object has two different masses or
energies at the same time, once the reference has been fixed. In
quantum mechanics however, an electron can be in a superposition of

Starting with the definition of the debroglie wavelength of an object
as h/p, what is a reasonable
definition of a debroglie "frequency"?

"Is More Than One Quark Needed?"
    Present literature tells us that both neutrons and protons contain
three observable internal particles named "quarks". Observationally, quarks
cannot exist for more than an instant of time outside of a proton or neutron

"The Arrow of Time"
    Over the years the immutable passage of time from  past to future has
been likened to the passage of an arrow, "the Arrow of Time". There have
been numerous speculations as to why time should only progress in that

What is difference between Neutron and Anti - Neutron ?

"Are Unified Field Theories Justified?"
    Modern physics seems to be searching for ways to incorporate all
physical phenomena into a single unified theory. The question that comes to
mind is why? The question arises as to the conceptual need for such an

I've been thinking about QCD a bit lately, which led me to thinking
about quark matter.
My question concerns strange matter, containing up, down, and strange
quarks.

"The Matter of "Dark Matter"
    There have been many postings about the mysterious "Dark Matter" which
is alleged to constitute 90 to 95% of the mass(energy) content of the
Universe. The presence of this "Dark Matter" is indicated by the observed

"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).
