Nikola Tesla detested relativity theory, and he derided Albert Einstein as a “white-haired crank.” Tesla supported the concept of the universal “ether,” and he raged about Einstein’s relativistic concept of “curved space.” Tesla also scoffed at the maximum possible velocity of “c” (light speed), which is a central tenet of Special Relativity. When viewed through […]

My wife Kim likes to say she is going to get me a t-shirt that says, “I Predict,” because I enjoy making predictions. One thing I predict is that, over the course of the next five or ten years, we will see more and more cosmological studies indicating that our universe seems to have a […]
14 I came to find that although Merle’s knowledge of science was light-years beyond that of present-day Earth, he was especially fond of Earth culture, especially music and art of just about any variety. Merle once explained to me that his planet’s history, like Earth’s history, included a man who discovered gravity. His planet’s history, […]
4 Although I occasionally worked breakfast or lunch in the main restaurant area, I usually worked late shift at the Enterprise Lounge, so I was on a late-night schedule that summer, no question. That was part of what was so weird about the first day of my Enlightening. It was a Wednesday morning. I woke […]
1 Prior to my Enlightening, I actually believed that scientists knew just about everything there is to know about the universe. It never even occurred to me that many great thinkers throughout history believed the same thing, quite mistakenly, in the context of their own times. From the brilliant scholars of the Enlightenment and Renaissance, […]
Physics, as everybody knows, is very equation intensive. When people argue physics in the laboratory, in a university setting, or even on the internet, it is all about the equations, usually. Yet much of our modern astrophysics is based on a famous theory that, counter-intuitively, relies very heavily on non-mathematical thinking. I am convinced that […]
Ever-widening cracks are appearing in the Big Bang theory of the universe’s origin. However, the Big Bang theory accurately describes the great majority of cosmological observations, so any new theory should retain many, if not most, of the basic Big Bang components. There is a new theory of the universe’s origin and evolution, called the […]
