Unreal Reality at Faster-Than-Light Speeds
Here is a question we are not allowed to ask: If something were to travel faster than the speed of light, what would it look like to us?
Albert Einstein
Interpretation of Special Relativity
When we looked at Quantum Mechanics, we talked about its various interpretations. The reason we have such interpretations, I said,
Speed of Light
The speed of light being a constant sounds like a simple statement. But there is more to it, quite a
Special Theory of Relativity
When we hear about Einstein and the special relativity (or the special theory of relativity, to use the real name),
Historical Origin of Quantum Mechanics
In this section, we will try to look at the historical origin of Quantum Mechanics, which is usually presented succinctly
Seeing and Believing
How do you bend a spoon? You can, if you realize that there is no spoon. That there is no space and time.

Rules of the Game
This is the introductory post on a short series on the rules of the games that people play, and where to look for predictability.

Bye Bye Einstein
This last post in the series explains why I believe it is time to say goodbye to Einstein, and why I look forward to how our worldview develops in the light of this CERN discovery of material superluminality.

Why not Discard Special Relativity?
This second post in my series on the superluminality observed (or suspected) at CERN looks at why we cannot accept it.

Faster than Light
When they discovered particles going faster than light at CERN, they didn’t want to believe themselves. They were practically begging the rest of the community to find a mistake in this discovery. Why would they do that? This post and its follow ups will try to shed some light on this strange lack of faith.

Why the Speed of Light?
Another post in the latest blitz of physics/philosophy articles, this one presents an idea that the significance of the speed of light a la Special Relativity is a consequence of our perception rather than an assumption.
