Coupling between past and future
Prediction is the hardest intellectual problem. It seems that we need to know everything about the Cosmos to predict the future accurately. I am not sure that even omniscience is enough because there is an intrinsic uncertainty in the Cosmos. … Continue reading
Why 3?
One of my most popular articles is Triangle. Another one is Number Symbolism. In both articles I mention the significance of 3. It seems to me that people intuitively understand the importance of 3 and they want to learn more. … Continue reading

Why is uncertainty intrinsic in the Cosmos?
There is an intrinsic uncertainty in the physical universe as detailed by quantum mechanics. I think that this intrinsic uncertainty extends to the wider Cosmos (totality of physical, mental and spiritual universes). Why is uncertainty intrinsic? The root cause of … Continue reading

New Perspective on Unification
Please read this as an outline of a research program. This is a rough sketch of what I want to write about in the future. Unification is not about nature Unification is not about nature. Nature is unified anyway. Unification … Continue reading

Unparticle
A recent article at “HuffPost Science” titled “Unparticle in Earth’s Mantle? Physicists Peer Inside Planet in Effort to Confirm New Particle” brought my attention to the subject of “unparticle.” The concept of “unparticle” was proposed by Harvard physicist Howard Giorgi … Continue reading

Quark model evolved
There is a must-read article by Matt Strassler: “Proton Collisions Vs. Quark/Gluon/Antiquark Mini-Collisions“ In my opinion you should read the comments section first and then read the article. This is a disturbing article. The commentators call it a “shocker.” I was … Continue reading

Model of a Model
Is physics describing reality, phenomena or measurements? It is important to understand the distinction between reality, phenomena and measurements. It is also important to be aware of the distinction between physical reality and higher (subtler) states of reality. One could … Continue reading
New Perspective on the Quantum Mechanical Nature: Seeking Freedom
Consciousness escapes the confinement of its own doing in myriad ways. Such is the Cosmic Play! Consciousness seeks freedom and liberation from bondage. Consciousness achieves liberation through life. Escape mechanisms are different expressions of life. Quantum mechanical nature is one … Continue reading

Meaning of Duality in Physics
The literal meaning of the word “dual” implies “two” but in philosophy dual usually means “not one.” In physics dual means equivalent. To me dual means multiple. There are multiple descriptions of reality. These descriptions are not necessarily equivalent but … Continue reading

Infinite Curvature of Spacetime Singularity
I will make a pedagogical point regarding the visual representation of spacetime singularities (Black Holes). In popularized science articles and books the Black Holes are sometimes represented as follows: This visual representation is misleading because the spacetime curvature in a … Continue reading

Notes on Galactic Motion
Our galaxy (Milky Way) is one of the spiral galaxies. Our solar system is located in one of the spiral arms. The Milky Way is like a flat disc (diameter: 100000 light-years, thickness: 1000 light-years). The thickness increases at the galactic center. Our … Continue reading
Fundamental Difference between the Sound Waves and the Light Waves
Sound Waves The speed of propagation of the sound waves is dependent on the wave frequency. This implies that there is a medium and the medium has atoms, molecules, or some structure. The dependency of the speed of propagation on … Continue reading

Key Questions of Particle Physics
Are there undiscovered principles of nature: new symmetries, new physical laws? How can we solve the mystery of dark energy? Dark energy that permeates empty space must have a quantum explanation. Is it related to the Higgs field? Are there … Continue reading
Elementary Particle Facts
Every fermion (spin=1/2 particle) type has an anti-particle type. If the fermion has electric charge then the electric charge of the anti-fermion is the opposite of that of the fermion. For example, electron has -1 electric charge. The anti-electron (positron) … Continue reading
Einstein’s Last Equation
Einstein died at the age of 76 from stomach aneurysm in 1955. He kept working until few hours before his death. At his bed side there were 12 pages of equations. The final line of the last page is the … Continue reading
Einstein’s 1921 Nobel Prize in 1922 and the Ceremony He Did Not Attend
Einstein could have received 2 Nobel prizes. One for the photoelectric effect and another for the theory of relativity. Einstein was first nominated for the Nobel prize in 1910 by the chemistry laureate Wilhelm Ostwald. In the next 10 years, … Continue reading

Gravity binds us
We know how strong the gravity is. Humans built powerful rockets to escape gravity. If gravity was weak we would not have to build such powerful rockets. Black holes are formed when massive stars collapse under their own weight. If … Continue reading

Intuitional Science (6) – Substance, Quanta, Wavelength
