Philosophy: More than the Middle of NPA
Philosophy is the basis of all sciences, the foundation of knowledge that provides ultimate answers beyond the limits of science. Although scorned and spurned by science purists(which is justified by its modern errant versions), metaphysics and logic, especially, form a common ground of agreement an...

Time Dilation in Relativity
The following is an attempt to explain that time dilation in relativity is an apparent phenomenon only, i.e., when one frame moves relative to another at a constant speed, it only appears that its clock runs slower than the other. In the first (simple) case, the box remains stationary. In the second...

Using classical physics arguments and observations this paper suggests that there are twelve “geometric” dimensions governing our physical universe. In addition to the four recognized dimensions of linear space and time, observational evidence is cited to re-classify angular rotations as...

An Alternative Electrodynamics to the Theory of Special Relativity
For an electron of mass m and charge ?e moving at time t with velocity v and acceleration dv/dt in an electric field of magnitude E, the accelerating force is proposed, in accordance with Newton's second law of motion, as F = eE(c ? v)/c = m(dv/dt). The vector c is the velocity of light and (c ? v) ...
