. There are certain facts about the interaction of humans with the physical world which seem to be usually ignored. Human activity takes place within the physical world, deals with matter/energy and, therefore, is limited ultimately by the laws of physics Since, in so far as we know, matter/energy ... More..
While atomic orbitals are often understood in the Bohr model as if they were analogous to planetary orbitals, or are explained as wave motions in quantum mechanical terms, there is an unpublished approach to understanding electronic orbital structures which might be of interest to some chemistry teachers or theorists. This ... More..
One may ask the question, "Do atomic nuclei have internal electron orbitals having similarities to those believed to exist in molecules? A quick answer could be, "Why not? There seems to have been little attention given to the idea of there being atomic orbitals in atomic nuclei. Although the ideas of molecular orbitals is us... More..
Helium 4 has two liquid forms. Helium I, which is a "normal liquid," and Helium II, "He4II," to which it sharply converts at 2.174K. This strange material expands on cooling, has tremendous heat conductivity, a strange viscosity that it will climb up the sides of the container and is the only liquid known which can not be sol...

Why Einstein was correct, when he was, in his "Relativity" theorizing, was often because hidden facets of mathematics and of the definitions used in physics allowed the ideas to be usable, even if his reasonings were fallacious. In other words, often, he was lucky. Einstein's Special Relativity, which title for it I am t... More..
Yes. If at the moment of Creation, the "Big Bang" were formed both a vortex pair which became our universe and an "anti-universe;" and within this vortex pair were also created "mirror-image-vortex-particles" which we call "electrons and anti-electrons." The tiny vortex particles which were in our universe oriented with one ... More..
Since the discovery of the neutron in the 1930's, the neutron has held a fascinating place in chemical theory. One of the first things that was decided was that the neutron's existence explained the Periodic Chart of the Elements. "The neutrons exist in atomic nuclei, making up the difference between the atomic number an... More..
