Physics questions that have given me brain damage.
1. A wave can’t propagate through a vacuum. If photons are waves how do we see distant stars? We can’t hear them explode and we know sound travels in waves.
A wave travels by energy transfer to the next particle it contacts. The photons that hit my retina when I look at a star originated at that star. They weren’t created when that energy hit a particle one atom away from my retina.
2. Time slows down as speed increases. At the speed of light time stops. From the photons point of view it is simultaneously being created on the surface of Sirius and being absorbed by my retina even though it took nearly nine years, as we measure time, to get here.
3. How does a particle know it’s being observed?
4. What is the missing 96% of mass in the universe?
We know how objects orbit the sun. The further out the slower the orbital speed. This doesn’t apply to Galaxies. The distant stars are locked in relation to the core stars. Think of a galaxy painted on a plate, then spinning the plate.
What is all the mass holding the galaxies together?
My wild guess,without any math chops for validation , is that it is energy and gravity leaking into our universe from infinite parallel universes.
Dark matter and dark energy could be gravity from parallel galaxies in the exact same spot that the matter is located in our universe.
Or I may just be a guitarist.
