Thursday, January 23, 2014. Fractal Universe Part 3. Fractal Spacetime - A Whole New Paradigm. Instead, I think it's much more interesting to see how physicists go through the process. These kinds of mathematical journeys are at the heart of physics. They tell as much about what and how the people are thinking, as they do about the phenomenon at hand. A subtext of this series of articles is how the thinking of scientists evolves, how the process of science moves. In the nanometer (nm) or billionth of a m...

Beyond Verses: Dark Energy Confirmed Again!
http://beyondverses.blogspot.com/2011/05/dark-energy-confirmed-again.html
The Science beyond Astronomy and Space…. Saturday, May 21, 2011. Dark Energy Confirmed Again! We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we're busy denying." -Sue Grafton. No, not the dark side of our nature, just the dark side of nature! Because if all our Universe were made out of were atoms and photons, we wouldn't get a Universe that looks like ours. What do I mean? Let's take a look. We can e...

Blank On The Map: The largest patterns in the Universe
http://blankonthemap.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-largest-patterns-in-universe.html
Blank On The Map. Explorations of physics and whimsy. Thursday, August 30, 2012. The largest patterns in the Universe. In addition to the developing. Questions and feedback are welcome via the comments box. Today's post is about the homogeneity of the distribution: the absence of pattern. Uniform in every direction. Assuming that we are not in a special position then amounts to assuming that the Universe looks extremely isotropic from every. Location, and the mathematical consequence of this is that it m...
