A friend wanted to understand ‘Bose -Einstein statistics’ in a simpler format. This is my reply to him. ‘Bose -Einstein statistics’ follows from something called the Spin-Statistics Theorem. It requires relativity, to derive the Spin-Statistics Theorem. There are lots of attempts to justify the result without relativity, but they do not work in the mathematical […]

ON CERTITUDE (सिद्धान्त) The issue of certitude can be approached from two different perspectives: 1) absolute perspective on the statement, which can also be called the abstract perspective, and 2) a more particular or as a special case. Let us discuss the absolute perspective first. The word certitude is generally understood as: absolute certainty or

ON PARTICLES, FIELDS & WAVES In pure particle ontology, interaction between remote particles can only be understood as action at a distance. In field ontology or a combined ontology of particles and fields, local action is mediated by fields. Particles are massive and impenetrable in contrast to fields. The concept of particles has been evolving

ABSTRACT Gravity is an inter-body force – not confined to one particle or body, whereas the others are intra-body forces – confined to (strong, weak) or arising out of (electromagnetic, disintegration) one particle or body. Can they be united in one theory? Yes – because whole is a sum of its parts and more. Why

We have seen that negative charges confine everything (स्त्रियः सतीस्ताँ उ मे पुंस आहुः – ऋग्वेदः 1-164-16). Any particle can only be explained as a combination of two complimentary statements, which give partial information individually (अनवर्णे इमे भूमिः – तैत्तिरीय आरण्यकम्). What we “see” is the radiation reflected out of it. We cannot “see” light.
