- Analyzing Actions: EM (2/3?)
-
Newtonian gravity binds us to this rock, while EM presents us with the messages from the heavens. The math of the EM is heavenly compared to Newtonian gravity. Let's review some of the flaws in that old but still useful approach to gravity. Newton's th ...

- Open Science - When Will Its Nobel Laureate Arrive?
-
Darwin took decades to publish while Newton practically wrote his Principia so as not to have to bother answering questions from other physicists. Throughout science history the attitudes and methods of scientists have varied as dramatically as the pe ...

- Analyzing Actions: Newtonian G (1/3?)
-
A list of eleven steps to analyzing an action will be presented. I could have added one more, but then people might think I was giving up on my physics addiction. The method will be applied to Newton's theory of gravity in this blog. The Maxwell action wi ...

- Faster Than Light Neutrinos And Relativity
-
There is a certain amount of confusion on the relationship between Einstein's Theory of Relativity and the recent experimental results that seem to point towards neutrinos that are faster than light by an amount of about 7 km/s. So let me try to clari ...

- Gravity is a Mystery (in words, no equations)
-
Gravity continues to work fine, even though we don't know why. Newton wrote down the first calculus based description. Gravity worked at a distance for reasons beyond our reach. Einstein developed a more accurate description with a little help from his ...

- Is This How Brain Waves And Neurons Create Consciousness?
-
I had previously speculated on how electric and magnetic fields generated by individual neurons may be able to transmit information to other neurons with which they are not in synaptic contact. From a purely physical point of view it strikes me as at ...
