Hi William, The speed of light you refer to is of course its speed in a vacuum. But I am confused when you say the "speed of the universe". Perhaps you refer to the point at which we cannot see any further(?) All space is expanding (except within galaxies because of gravity resisting the...

Hayseed said "I believe that the structures that light builds, are the largest and oldest physical structures that there is. Only light has the oldest time. The longest duration." I am wary of your comment about light 'structures' but other than that you say "light has the oldest time". A...

An Ace question! The answer is that the experiment cannot be done. The theoretical reason is that entanglement is easily upset/undone. Vibration, noise, or circumstance collapses the entanglement. That's the theory anyway. Having said that Quantum Mechanics is difficult to explain (by...

Have been surprised by emerging evidence that the Astra Zeneca vaccine has long term protection as a result of its more "rounded" action to stimulate T cells into action and some other processes...

A photon is a particle. A wave is a wave. I do not understand your concentration on "immaterial". Light has mass. Electrons cannot be "pinned down" they also are both waves and particle. There are famous experiments e.g. the 2 slit experiment whereby light is directed toward two slits. It...

I can't see how light and time can be material of construction.

well in principle yes you can put it in a cup. If you did so its wave function would collapse and it would be a particle. Previously though if no one decided otherwise it would be both a particle and a wave

I see now where you are coming from and am inclined to agree. Thanks for explaining

OK, possibly. hanks for explanation

Light and quantum bits electrons etc are both particles and waves. A duality. EMR is photons and waves, both. It has been, to my knowledge, suggested by serious science, No asserted, that a car (even) has a parallel wave function existing ...

Hi, sorry to disagree but the effect travels at the speed of light. It is not immediate. But you correct me; yes I should have made myself clearer. Gravity waves travels at "c". The effect of gravity variation e.g. an object in orbit or a hypothetical sudden disappearance of say, the sun -...

I must admit I thought standard theory was based on fact - as best we can do. I do not understand what is meant by "Science needs to adjust its feelings". Maybe in a sentence or two you can tell me what reality might be - I cannot get a handle on where you are coming from. But I am new...

Time is defined very precisely in its relationship with space. I suppose you could argue that space and time are both challenged in some possible theories. It is fashionable to suggest we are players in a computer program where the display only "comes to life" on the part on screen being...

Assumptions 1. Time acts at 90 degrees to space – an assumption that time can be regarded as a fourth dimension – sort of 2. 3d space could be the surface of a 4d Ball (a hypersphere) embedded in 4d space 3. Space is expanding (pretty much firmly established) If we accept the idea of a...
