One of the great mysteries of our universe, and a weakness of the Big Bang theory, is that matter, not antimatter, totally makes up our universe. According to the Big Bang theory, there should be equal amounts of matter and …

As humans, we measure time via change. For example, the second hand of a clock changes positions in a predictable manner that allows us to determine how many seconds have elapsed. However, imagine if the second hand stopped. Has time …

Philosophers have debated the nature of time for over 2500 years, and have left us with three principal theories, listed below in no particular order: 1) Presentists Theory of Time—The “presentists” philosophers argue that present objects and experiences are real. …

Can anything travel faster than the speed of light? To answer this question, let us understand the nature of light. Here are three salient facts about light: 1. First, light can exhibit both the properties of a wave and a particle. For …

Several futurists, including myself, have predicted that by 2099 most humans will have strong-artificially intelligent brain implants and artificially intelligent organ/body part replacements. In my book, The Artificial Intelligence Revolution, I term these beings SAH (i.e., strong artificially intelligent human) cyborgs. …

Stephen Hawking, the world’s most famous scientist, made a startling statement on September 2, 2010, one week prior to the release of his new book, The Grand Design. He declared the “Almighty” irrelevant. Dr. Hawking believes that M-theory may hold …

Is string theory pseudoscience? To address this questions, let’s start by understanding what constitutes science and distinguishes it from pseudoscience. Let’s start by defining science. Science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior …

Many people, even some scientists, believe science equates with truth, especially with regard to the behavior of nature. Let’s examine whether this hypothesis is correct. Modern physics is based on Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity and quantum mechanics. …

We scientists talk about energy and derive equations with energy mathematically expressed in the equation as though we understand energy. The fact is, we do not. It is an indirectly observed quantity. We infer its existence. For example, in physics, …

With the advent of M-theory (i.e., membrane theory, the most comprehensive string theory), the concept of other universes (i.e., multiverse) has gained some traction in the scientific community. According to M-theory, when two membranes collide, they form a universe. The collision is …
