Newton Calculation
The Hadron Particle Collider did not destroy the world last week, and scientists at CERN outside Geneva are sipping champagne and celebrating. But if the No. 1 best-selling author of a new book is correct, they might want to re-cork the bottle. In “Temple at the Center of Time: Newton’s Bible Codex Deciphered…

Dark Matters
I’ve had a few people ask me why my blog is called Dark Matter Matters, and since I haven’t told that story in a while, I thought I’d share an excerpt from The Ad-Free Brand explaining it (and appending some more recent information). Here goes: In late 2008, I was struggling mightily with the question…
Earths gravitational pull
American political personality Bill O’Reilly once famously said, “Tide goes in, tide goes out—never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that.” While he probably can’t explain that, scientists can: The tides are formed by gravitational forces exerted unevenly on the Earth by the moon (video). The Earth’s gravitational pull has quite an effect on the moon as well. And since…

Nikola Tesla Anti gravity
But Tesla didn’t stop there, he was into the incredible secrets of flight and antigravity which led him to register a patent in 1928, number 1, 655, 144 for a flying machine that resembled both a helicopter and an airplane. Before his death, Tesla had developed the blueprints for the propulsion system of his aircraft. He called it “SPACE DRIVE”or the anti-electromagnetic field…

Earths gravitational field
Though it seems hard to believe, Earth’s gravitational pull is not the same everywhere you go. And as these gorgeously detailed maps now show, these variances are much greater than we thought. Top image: The low gravity atop Mount Everest (credit: GGMplus/Curtin University). Gravity varies on our planet owing to a number of factors. It s not perfectly spherical or uniformly…

What is the Dark energy?
So what is dark energy? Well, the simple answer is that we don t know. It seems to contradict many of our understandings about the way the universe works. We all know that light waves, also called radiation, carry energy. You feel that energy the moment you step outside on a hot summer day. Einstein s famous equation, E = mc2, teaches us that matter and energy are interchangeable…

Gravitational attraction between Earth and Moon
Gravity or gravitational forces are forces of attraction. We re not talking about finding someone really cute and adorable. It s like the Earth pulling on you and keeping you on the ground. That pull is gravity at work. Every object in the universe that has mass exerts a gravitational pull, or force, on every other mass. The size of the pull depends on the masses of the objects…
