TO THE ILLUSTRIOUS MAN
ALBERT EINSTEIN
AND THIS HIS WORK DONE IN FIELDS OF THE
MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS A SINGLE
DISTINCTION OF OUR TIME AND RACE
Lo, for your gaze, the pattern of the skies!
What balance of the relativistic mass, what reckonings
Divine! Here ponder too the Laws which Subtle Lord,
Framing the DeSitter universe, set not aside
But made the relative foundations […]

Ninety per cent of the universe is made of dark matter.1
Ninety per cent of physics is made of hidden assumptions.
Gravity is the universal hidden assumption of physics.

I am starting a new project to investigate, expose and eliminate hidden assumptions in physics. I propose to design simple tests with yes/no questions and discuss the results. I […]

Where rubber meets the asphalt, that’s where physics is. The rest is branding.
The rubric ”General Theory of Relativity” is the make of the car. It is a label. It’s branding. It has nothing to do with the tire or the asphalt.
For a stationary car we only need surface, weight and constants. All are measurable quantities.

Unmeasurable labels […]

John Baez announces that Physics, Topology, Logic and Computation: a Rosetta Stone is done. I don’t understand the category theory1 details but I find the paper very inspirational.
On Section 1.4.2 Categories in Functional Programming authors consider the program (double) which doubles a number, so,
(double 4) = 8.
Double takes an integer and doubles it.2 But
in reality, […]

Browsing in Borders yesterday I saw this little book called Li: Dynamic Form in Nature1 by David Wade.
Li reflect the order and pattern in Nature … but it is not pattern thought of as something dead, like a mosaic: it is dynamic pattern as embodied in all things living, and in human relationships, and in […]

This is how physics needs to be taught:1
I guess what I tried to do was give him a concept in need of a name, rather than a name in need of a concept.

In physics what is taught are names of ossified doctrines. Students are asked to believe these labels as absolute truths.
This is how physics […]
