Here in the U.S., the military/ intelligence establishment has been quite forthcoming, recently, about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in our skies, as frequently encountered by military personnel. The U.S. Navy has long been invested in the phenomenon, and their ships and aircraft have been central to many of the more than 400 reports cited by intelligence […]
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 […]
Recently, some interesting research out of the University of Arkansas, and as published in the journal Physical Review E, has been in the news. A team led by Professor Paul Thibado has harvested energy from freestanding graphene—a potentially revolutionary development of power generation from material that is just simply existing, essentially. These sheets of graphene […]
7 By now, he was standing next to me, holding out a gloved hand to shake. He was wearing gloves that looked like they might have been riding gloves, although the group appeared to be on foot. Eventually, I found out that the gloves were specially designed to collect biological samples from my hands or […]
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 […]
I have some important news which will hopefully be of interest to many. At zero cost to the reader, I am going to release the entirety of my book The Enlightening, in serialized form, on its website and Facebook page. More than anything, I just want to get my ideas out there for people to […]
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 […]

One of the great mysteries of Special Relativity is the Second Postulate, which is the idea that the speed of light c is a constant, independent of the relative motion of the source. This constancy is why Albert Einstein preferred to think of his theory as a theory of invariance, rather than a theory of […]
In my book The Enlightening, I make the following observation: Both Albert Einstein and H.A. Lorentz conceived of Lorentz’ Relativistic Velocity Transformation equations as describing the entire extent of the universe. This is clearly supported by Einstein’s relativity theories, including the proposed universal “speed limit” of c. Lorentz did not disagree with Einstein’s interpretation. My […]
