Does modern Physics have a good model for dark energy and dark matter? Why?
Q. In quantum physics, dark matter is invisible. It is quite different from normal luminous matter such as our galaxies, stars, gas, ad planets, because it doesn't give off light or heat. But how do we know it exists if we can't see it? In astrophysics, dark matter can ony be inferred from its gravitational effect on visible matter.

A. Obviously not. The name "dark" says it all. These are unknown phenomena expressed only in terms of attributes associated with them that might explain poorly understood observations.

how did the discovery of the transistor represent a breakthrough in modern physics?
Q. what is the impact that it had in the evolution of modern physics, as well as, on our everyday life (the social, economical and, possible, political impact).

A. The transistor replaced the valve as a component of electronics. It generates less heat than a valve, and is much smaller, which enabled much more efficient electronic devices(radios, TVs etc) to be built.

In modern nuclear physics, is it possible for matter to be destroyed and not just change state?
Q. I was having this debate with a friend. I remember back in high school hearing that this was not possible in Newtonian physics, until we discovering in the 20th century that stars destroy countless tons of matter do to nuclear fusion every second, but I was wondering if anyone could clarify how the matter actually gets "destroyed" rather than changing state, or if I'm just plain wrong.

A. Time "In a sense" does not exist and is an illusion. For example: Suppose there are two syncronized clocks on two infinately seperated walls (one behind you and one in front of you) and the clocks are illuminated at exactly 2pm by light from your flashlight that shoots to the front and the back at the same time. And lets pretend that you are in a spaceship ---with that flashlight --accelerating (speeding up trying to reach light speed) away from one clock towards the other.just as you receive the reflection of light (showing 2 pm) within your eye from the clock behind you. And lets pretend that you reach light speed the instant the light from the clock reaches your eye. At the instant you reach light speed then any light from your flash… [cont.]

Is it possible that the whole basis of modern physics is false?
Q. all physics revolves around gravity, a force wqe really don't know anyything about, only the effets of it, could everything be going in the wrongf direction people seem to agree that gravity came before matter or some other matterless energy, what is this energy why do we only start from scratch with quantum physics, why not with all physics now the insults
Asked by Ok T - Fri Jun 13 22:02:38 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The real problem is that the money for supporting research has chosen to go in only one direction before that direction has really proved itself. Programs that head in directions that might falsify the established theories have no chance to obtain funding. Therefore, we are condemned to live with the mistakes of the past for generations to come. General relativity has done a pretty good job of describing the effects of gravity within a certain range of scales---roughly from 10^-10 meter up to about 10^18 meter. Consequently, scientists have assumed that Newton's universal law of gravitation must hold at all scales and distances.
