Anyone who has delved into the math and sciences has been introduced to the problem of finding prime numbers. It is one of the holy grails of mathematics and is featured along with the Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach’s Conjecture, and several others. With a little spare time and little curiosity many…

I am a scientist through and through but for the past 10 months or so my “faith” in science has encountered an additional challenge. In some of my other articles here on Medium, I investigate and write about the problems plaguing our modern mathematics and physics but this challenge has…

No, no it does not. It's a good thing too. If we somehow had a choice, we wouldn’t want it to. So, why not? The easiest way to frame why we wouldn’t want infinity to exist in nature comes from algebra. If you replace any variable with infinity or add…

Evil is a word people use to get other people to stop asking questions. I have seen plenty of terrible things in my life. But, in every case, even the most horrible things came down to either bad timing or just being thoughtless about what is happening. I grew up…

Could this be why we are having trouble with unifying theories? — I am a classical physics guy and so I’ve had to use a lot of dimensional analysis in my work. I have spent many hours staring at and manipulating these letters and their superscripts for years and have never questioned any of them. In my most recent look at our…

Part 2 of “Should √2 Be a Prime Number?” — In my last article, I discussed the difficulty of finding prime numbers with our modern ℝeal number system. In this article, I am going to ignore √2 and talk about the deeper question of what it means for ℝeal numbers to be uncountably infinite and how it is related to…

Welcome to Love R&D — I like to think of love as my most actively developed product for the people I care most about. I think they deserve my best, which is a combination of work and deliberate design. Of course, we all fall short. I once had to put the marketing department on “permanent…

Introduction — In Part 1, I dove into a web of issues surrounding inertial and non-inertial reference frames. There we cast doubt on how our reference frames have been defined and discovered that our current definition of time was causing a variety of problems. It got pretty intense so I had to…

Introduction Just a few weeks ago I dived into a research project about Schrodinger and uncertainty. I discovered that “Schrodinger’s Cat” was a thought experiment, devised by Schrodinger, to point out what was conceptually wrong with the accepted interpretation of the double-slit experiment. I looked around but never pinned down what…
