Einstein vs Tesla and the Double-Slit Solution

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 […]

Space-time

A Caltech researcher has recently pointed out that Schrodinger’s Equation, which describes the wavelike nature of particles, and is therefore the foundational equation of quantum mechanics, is also very useful in describing the long-term evolution of large-scale astronomical structure of space-time.   Today, let’s conduct a little science thought experiment.  A typical scientific process might entail […]
