While writing my previous blog - Dark matter: complexity or simplicity?? - a thought appeared in my mind: is the aether responsible for reflecting “dark” or invisible matter and energy? My choice of the word reflecting is on purpose. Another angle is this one: how can “several” suns illuminate an entire universe?? Moreover, the aether could (also) explain the tired...
In yesterday’s blog - The complexity bias (14): layers of complexity - dark matter and dark energy were at the bottom of my diagram. It’s very hard to assume complexity if and when both would represent c.95% of the Universe. In my view, it’s much more likely that both should be (extremely) simple, like the aether, “also known as the fifth...
Yesterday's blog on the decreasing energy of (sun) light and the increasing age of the Universe (ie, 26.7 billion years), made me realise that the age of planet Earth (ie, 4.55 billion years) is only 17.0% of the Universe. Hence, my assumed answering of the where question in yesterday's blog was wrong. The list of UFO sightings starts in 1450 BC in Africa, and has...
Introduction LO: This article is interesting because it explains why scientists at the University of Ottawa (eg, Phys-2023) claimed in mid 2023 that our Universe is (at least) twice as old (ie, 26.7 billion years). The underlying tired light theory (1929) by astronomer Fritz Zwicky (1898-1974) makes much more sense than the Big Bang theory, which was originally...
For some time, I have been wondering what inspiration actually is. Nearly each day, my inspiration arrives, and/but almost never when I need or want it most. It just comes at its own pace. Last Wednesday's night, the thought that inspiration is a search for talent suddenly arrived. My remarks needs some elaboration: I never receive ideas for books, movies, music,...
Until writing this blog, I had assumed there was one main mystery in life: Consciousness. Remarkably, there is another one: Light. It feels to me that both mysteries might be (very much) related. Even sleep might be related. “The exact nature of visible light is a mystery that has puzzled humans for centuries, with many scientists and philosophers striving to answer...
