"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when man does not thoughtlessly submit to prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." Albert Einstein

SPACE-TIME AND TIME-TRAVEL

Abstract: Time is actually an abstract entity which became part of Special Relativity. There has in fact been postulation that time is unreal but just an invention of the intellect. Whether time is an invention or actually real, it cannot be denied that it plays a very important role in our lives, e.g., without a watch to tell us the time practically all of us would be lost in time. This paper takes a look at the philosophical ramifications and difficulties of time, as well as time-travel, and clarifies things.

GRAVITY

Abstract: Newton accidentally discovered gravity after observing an apple falling from a tree. What exactly is gravity? This paper takes a look at gravity, which evidently remains a subject of mystery.

ON THE INVARIANCE OF THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT

Abstract: The Special Theory of Relativity postulates that the velocity of light would always be invariant at 186,000 miles per second at all inertial frames. The paper examines this aspect of the Theory.

ON THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

Abstract: A theory of everything , or, grand unified theory (which Einstein had been working on without success, with Superstring Theory now being a good candidate), is one which unites all the forces of nature, viz., gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. Important as this theory might be, it is lacking in one important fundamental aspect, viz., the role of consciousness, which could in fact be considered the most fundamental aspect of physics. This paper explains that a theory of consciousness is more important than a theory of everything or grand unified theory and should be the theory of everything instead, or, at least, a part of the theory of everything.
