G is the most political constant of physics
How come a quantity defined in terms of two conventional units as a conventional unit becomes a true constant of nature? Can two conventional units k2 and the Astronomical Unit beget a universal constant of nature called G? No. This … Continue reading

What is physical spacetime?
Space and time cannot be considered as separate entities, as Newton had assumed but must be considered together as a four-dimensional spacetime. Three spacelike dimensions and one timelike dimension account for the four spacetime dimensions. In the above description we … Continue reading

As a summary of the Physical semantics here’s a table showing how physicists use semantic methods to hide information: physical quantity measurement of hidden physics physical meaning interpretation of hidden physics physical reason rationalization of hidden physics physical model container … Continue reading
Physical semantics
I noticed that physicists use the word physical as an adjective to modify many different types of words. I was curious to understand how physical modifies the words it is applied to as an adjective. It appears that physical is like … Continue reading
The number of atoms in the cosmos
This is the view of physics by physicists as stated for instance in this paper: The primary role of physics remains the deep insight and rational understanding of measurable, natural phenomena. On the next page the author gives some big … Continue reading
