From Wave Theory to Quantum MechanicsSven Gelbhaarsven.gelbhaar@gmail.com30.12.2007 So far in this series we’ve talked about how Cosmic Microwave BackgroundRadiation isn’t the proof-positive of the Big Bang Theory that it was made outto be, how both theories of Relativity didn’t add up with our observations, howrelativistic speeds might impact the thermodynamics of a physical system, andwe’ve […]

Relativistic ThermodynamicsSven Gelbhaar13 November 2007 (Update: 4 January 2008) Einstein’s special theory of relativity has formulas, called Lorentztransformations, that convert time or distance intervals from a resting frame ofreference to a frame zooming by at nearly the speed of light. But how abouttemperature? That is, if a speeding observer, carrying her thermometer with her,tries to

Contra Solipsismby Sven Gelbhaar2.11.2007 Descartes said it best when he postulated that “I think, therefore I am.” forthe act of thinking presupposes the thinker, and the reader can certainly tellif he or she is thinking. This proves without a doubt that one can logicallyprove at least one’s own existence. However for centuries after this, peoplehave
Revised Theory of RelativitySven Gelbhaarsven.gelbhaar@gmail.com31.10.2007 – 4.11.2008 In 1905 Einstein dazzled the physics community with the introduction of theTheory of Special Relativity. Einstein’s theory broadened the scope of Galileo’sPrinciple of Relativity to include not only motion of large bodies but alsoelectrodynamics, and included his postulate that regardless of how fast and inwhich direction the observer

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation and how it relates to Big Bang TheorySven Gelbhaarsven.gelbhaar@gmail.com08/31/2007 Ever since Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson discovered Cosmic MicrowaveBackground Radiation in 1964(¹) the public has been led to believe that thissomehow supported the Big Bang Theory in proving that there had been anexplosion of at least microwave radiation at, for
