Well as I understand it, special relativity states that time is a variable, dependent on your relative velocity through space. I propose that as space itself is expanding, this changes the value of the space part of the space time continuum, and as a consequence changes the time variable of...

I am not sure what your point is here. :confused:

Well this is a "prediction" that my "theory" would make. So it could be subjected to experiment. I am sure someone else would have thought of this by now, so there must have been experiments which would either confirm or disprove it. Just can't find any, but as english is not my first...

Well, my reasoning is that spacetime is not static. Space is moving/changing (expansion is per definition movement with an inherent velocity), and therefore so must "time" be moving/changing. The two are fundamentaly connected, as per relativity. If one goes up, the other must come down. At...

Hi guys, First off let me thank all of you for your contributions. I really appreciate it. I am slowly reading through all of it, but as it is quite a lot, it will probably take some time. Time. Funny, it is a strange thing, isn't it. I mean the whole space-time continuum thing. I absolutely...

I heard this analogy once, where someone said that you should imagine you are sitting in a living room in someone's house. And that you can not move anywhere else. You have no idea that there is a bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, and almost no idea of what goes on outside. You now have to explain...

Hi Guys, thanks for your responses. Don't blame me, blame tv. :biggrin: What I don't get is that they say that the people they interview are all well known and respected people in Cosmology/Physics etc etc. Is this not the case? And if so, who are these people then? Well, not very...

Hi Guys, Just finished watching an episode of Through the Wormhole, where they discuss the Big Bang Theory. I must say I am left with a gazillion questions. Can someone please explain this to me as simply as possible? Remember, Einstein supposedly said: "If you can't explain it simply, you...

Thank you Dennis. Do you maybe have better pictures of the patterns? I would really appreciate it if you would post them here or send them to me. There is one more thing I have been wondering about. In some experiments they send one particle at a time, and still get the interference pattern...

Small supplemental if I may. I understand that the distance between the slits is important, and thus I would suggest 2 possible variations. 1. Imagine a slit which starts as a line, and at 90 degrees forms a L 2. Imagine a slit which starts as a line, and ends up as a + Now with option 1 you...

Hi Guys, I am not a physicist, just an average blue collar Joe who finds QM fascinating. I was wondering why they always use parallel slits. Has anybody ever tried varying the angle between the slits? And what would the interference pattern look like at different angles, starting at 1...
