Bad science: The precision fallacy

Precision in scientific results is almost universally claimed to be a good thing. Precise and reproducible results are invariably used to claim that: Of course, none of these are true without further argument and...

Bad science: Michelson-Morley

Abstract The famous Michelson-Morley experiment is examined and found wanting in every respect. Although cited as proof that the speed of light is constant everywhere in the universe and in all directions, the experiment...

Quantum physics: Definitions and Reality

Quantum physics: Definitions and Reality

AI Abstract Quantum mechanics lacks a universally accepted definition, relying instead on mathematical principles and experimental boundaries. While considered a successful framework for understanding the microscopic realm, it faces criticism for not addressing gravity,...

Einstein’s geometry vs. physical reality

Einstein’s geometry vs. physical reality

Previous posts have criticised Einstein’s work based upon popular understandings of the theory of Relativity as explained by Wikipedia or an AI engine. In this post we continue to seek clarity, but now from...

Interpreting Newton’s Second Law

Abstract The proposed structure for theoretical physics posits that ‘Reality’ is subject to measurement and interpretation through a mathematical framework. It argues that fundamental concepts like force, mass, and acceleration are not inherent aspects...

Debunking Consciousness in Quantum Detection

Debunking Consciousness in Quantum Detection

In the field of quantum physics, various claims are made concerning the detection of particles or waves in the famous double-slit experiment. Many respected commentators have put forth the idea that the mere process...

DNA: an unfeasible coding system

DNA: an unfeasible coding system

The idea that the sequence of base pairs in DNA represents any sort of blueprint for life is nonsensical from an informational theoretical point of view. The sequences are meaningless by themselves and require...

Einstein’s relativity vs. actual reality

Einstein’s relativity vs. actual reality

Abstract An attempt is made to understand Einstein’s theories of relativity, particularly with respect to the central idea of an inertial frame of reference. Available descriptions are confusing and contradictory with definitions of the...
