Tweet We have shown throughout "The Imagineer’s Chronicles" and its companion book " The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension " there would be many theoretical advantages to assuming space is composed of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time.
One is that it would allow one to merge the observations associated with quantum or photonic properties of light such as Compton scattering with its wave properties by extrapolating the laws of a Classical three...Read Full Story

Preface
The purpose of "The Imagineer’s Chronicles" is to elaborate on the theoretical ideas contained in its companion book " The Reality of Four Spatial Dimensions ".
In Thomas S. Kuhn’s book "The Structure of Scientific Revolution" he documents the doubts that precipitate a paradigm change in scientific thought.
For example, even though one could still make accurate predictions of planetary motions using the 15 century...Read Full Story
Einstein’s theory of general relativity :
The interactions of mass (as related to gravitational force) are really the influence of bodies (masses) on the geometry of space and time.
Space and time are affected by gravity.
This theory is grounded on two main ideas : that the speed of light is a universal constant in all frames of reference and that gravitational fields are equivalent to acceleration for all frames of reference within the space-time continuum. The first proofs of the...Read Full Story
Tweet We have shown throughout the Imagineer’s Chronicles and its companion book " The Reality of the Fourth spatial dimension " there would be many theoretical advantages to assuming space is composed of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time.
One of them is that it would allow for a logical explanation of the superposition principal associated with quantum mechanics based on extrapolating our experiences in a three-dimensional environment to a fourth *spatial...Read Full Story
Tweet We have shown throughout the Imagineer’s Chronicles and its companion book " The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension " there would many theoretical advantages to defining the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space time.
One is that it would allow one to physical link gravity to the strong and weak forces.

Overall, the budget numbers for the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Science, the single largest funder of physical sciences research in the United States, look reasonably good. The office would see its budget climb by 2.4% to $4.992 billion.
Pran Nath, the Matthews Distinguished Professor of Physics at Northeastern University, is among a group of leading theoretical physicists who have asked the Department of Energy to develop a large underground neutrino facility to maintain U.S. leadership in the frontier of particle physics. We asked Nath to explain the facility and its value.
Researchers have devised a proposal for the first conclusive experimental test of a phenomenon known as Bells nonlocality. This test is designed to reveal correlations that are stronger than any classical correlations, and do so between high-energy particles that do not consist of ordinary matter and light. These results are relevant to the so-called CP violation principle, which is used to explain the dominance of matter over antimatter.
A research team led by physicists at the University of California, Riverside has identified a property of "bilayer graphene" that the researchers say is analogous to finding the Higgs boson in particle physics. The physicists found that when the number of electrons on the BLG sheet is close to 0, the material becomes insulating - a finding that has implications for the use of graphene as an electronic material in the semiconductor and...
A better understanding of the universe will be the outgrowth of the discovery of the Higgs boson, according to a team of researchers. The team predicts the discovery will lead to supersymmetry or SUSY -- an extension of the standard model of particle physics. SUSY predicts new matter states or super partners for each matter particle already accounted for in the standard model. SUSY theory provides an important new step to a better...
