A variety of editorial commentaries by in-house and guest contributors.
What does Entropy have to do with the Sun and Nuclear Fusion? by Mathias Hüfner Abstract: The text develops its own structure-based understanding of entropy as an ordering relation and connects it to questions of solar physics and nuclear fusion. The argument proceeds in three main steps: the redefinition of…
Mathematics in Quantum Physics and Cosmology by Mathias Hüfner When we look at the night sky through the James Webb Telescope with its millions of galaxies, we should understand that light, in the form of electromagnetic pulses, is transmitted to us by the smallest particles, the electrons, over eons, losing…
How hot is the Sun’s surface really? by Mathias Hüfner As Lee Smolin of the Perimeter Institute emphasizes, he sees the search for natural constants as one of the five basic tasks of physics. The theory of relativity is based on the assumption of the constancy of the speed of…
Is the Cosmos Static or Is It Expanding? On the hundred-year-old dispute over the interpretation of the redshift of galaxy spectra by Mathias Hüfner ABSTRACT: For the Standard Model of Cosmology, which sees the act of creation in a Big Bang 13.5 billion years ago, the interpretation of the redshift…
The Vortex Atom, a Forgotten Theory? by Mathias Hüfner The Thunderbolts Project is now a quarter of a century old, since the unforgotten Wal Thornhill dedicated himself to a new cosmology with his essay “Gravity vs. Plasma.” He defined it as follows: The Electric Universe Model of Cosmology is new…
Notes on the Holy Grail of Modern Physics by Mathias Hüfner While cleaning out my library, I came across the book “Three Roads to Quantum Gravity” by Lee Smolin from 2001. I read on the back cover: The Holy Grail of modern physics is the theory of “quantum gravity.” It…
The Fairy Tale of Time Dilation by Mathias Hüfner Some time ago I came across an article entitled Quasare bestätigen Zeitdehnung nach Albert Einstein. 1 Because of their strong spectral redshift, time would pass more slowly there. It was written by Andreas Müller, editor-in-chief of Sterne und Weltraum 2 and…
UFOS, Aliens, and all that… by David Drew The mainstream media have suddenly taken an interest in the UFO phenomenon…beyond ridiculing it, that is. This seems strange, so much so that some now joke: “I used to believe in aliens before the government told me they were real.” In recent…
The Mystery of Gravity by Mathias Hüfner “People are not prisoners of their fate, they are prisoners of their thoughts,” Franklin Roosevelt once said. In today’s world, where everything is increasingly leading to specialization, we no longer understand the connections in nature because we can no longer overcome the narrow…
HIT & MISS – The WHY Files and the Electric Universe by David Drew I watched the WHY FILES Electric Universe episode again recently and experienced the same mixed emotions. As much as I enjoyed it (and no publicity is bad publicity, or so they say), I was disappointed by…
