“Is thre not some underground machinery beneath the working of the world which one can ferret out to secure an advance indication of the outcome? Some secret determiner, some...
I think that Islam was not about the validity of sting's theory. I thought he was simply interested to know what the word "dimension" means in the context of this string theory.
If you want to describe the position of a point on a carpet, you can use a coordinate
(x,y, d) where (x,y) describes the position of a curled carpet hair and d is the distance on that hair.
String Theory contains 10 dimensions, the regular 4 dimensions (x,y,z,t) plus 6 more, curled in a...

"As I dig deeper into the mathematical structure that contains the mathematical features that the Bohm uses, Bohm energy, Bohm momentum, quantum potential etc. are essential features, as you imply, of a non-commutative phase space; strictly a symplectic structure with a non-commutative...

Taking the output t of a clock and putting it in equations like any other spatial parameters hide the differences between t and the other spatial parameters. There is no freedom to move in the reverse time direction. It is why the physical approaches which express changes not in terms of a...
Bidin & all conclude their paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/1204.3924v1.pdf as follow:
In conclusion, the observations point to a lack of Galactic DM at the solar position, contrary to the expectations of all the current models of Galactic mass distribution. A DM distribution very different to what...
The galaxy rotation problem is a discrepancy between observed and calculated galaxy rotation curves. The calculations are based on masses derived from the luminosities and assumed mass-to-light ratios in the disk and core portions of spiral galaxies. This discrepancy is currently thought to...
Our disproportionately large nearby moon certainly gave Earth an early tidal nudge. But unlike Venus and Mars, our moon's gravitational influence also helped ensure that Earth's spin axis and climate remained stable over long timescales.
See Scientific America: Without the Moon, Would There Be...
Dark matter was introduced in order to make General Relativity (GR) compatible
1. with the rotational speed of galaxies
2. and the relative movement of galaxies in local groups.
A new study ” has mapped the motions of more than 400 stars up to 13,000 light-years from the Sun. From...
