Ok, we know, you will have some folks saying all these posts are science fiction. When they claim this, just remind them that their physics models can’t say anything sensible about all the mysteries solved by The New Physics: a unified model of gravitation and nuclear forces, the size of the hydrogen nucleus, the binding… Continue reading 24.

23. Open questions
We have come to the end of what The New Physics can tell us at this point in time (April, 2024.) It is appropriate to admit here that there are many questions which are unanswered by The New Physics. Some of the ones that jump out at us are: It would be great to understand… Continue reading 23. Open questions
22. Models & reality
Physics has been confused about the relationship of its models to reality. To see how this can happen, consider the image below of a model of a jet airplane: This is a great replica of a jet, but it is not a jet! The real jet takes passengers, uses jet fuel, takes off, flies for… Continue reading 22. Models & reality
21. Designer Atoms
The New Physics provides insight into how the nucleus of an atom is constructed. It provides scientists a way to visualize how the nucleus of an atom is constructed. For example, the following picture is a possible model of the oxygen nucleus, shown along three axes: By adding or deleting neutrons in a way that… Continue reading 21. Designer Atoms
20. Neutrinos Superluminal
In September of 2011 the truly astounding results of a 6-year-long experiment (called OPERA) involving 190 physicists was reported; the results were confirmed in a re-test in November 2011. What was this finding from the OPERA team that stood the world of physics on its head? The experiment sought to measure the speed of neutrinos… Continue reading 20. Neutrinos Superluminal
19. Dark stuff
We are used to thinking that the Universe is made up of stuff we can touch and see. Wrong! Atoms like those within and around us only make up about 0.4% of the matter + energy in the Universe. Worse, this number is declining! (Maybe that weigh loss program you are on has a future… Continue reading 19. Dark stuff
18. Diffraction
We have mentioned more than once that it is very important to understand where a mathematical model ends and reality begins. The reason is that not recognizing this boundary has led to a lot of confusion in physics. But equally dangerous is the pitfall surrounding analogies. Nowhere is this more obvious than in attempts to… Continue reading 18. Diffraction
17. Unified model
Until recently there has been no consistent model of the physical world that covered both very small objects like the components of atomic nuclei and gravitation of very large objects. This despite considerable effort to unite them. Quantum Mechanics has been extended to String Theory, which models quarks as vibrating strings with resonant frequencies that… Continue reading 17. Unified model
16. Photons
According to The New Physics model, light photons and particles are created by the same process of concentrating a lot of energy in at a point in space. This creates a bubble in space according to the formula m = E ⋅ μ ⋅ ε (née E = m ⋅ c2). We saw in the… Continue reading 16. Photons
15. Relativistic Mass
We’ve presented convincing evidence that The New Physics solves several serious mysteries that have plagued physics over the past century. These are What causes gravity What causes inertia Why a particle is always a wave Why the Hydrogen nucleus is larger than the proton Why the Binding Energy curve is a sawtooth Why the free… Continue reading 15.
