Quotes from Andrew Thomas

I promise, before God and my community, to seek reforms so that the powerful and corrupt are no longer above the law.
~ Andrew Thomas
Today, corruption has won and justice has lost. I brought corruption cases in good faith involving powerful people, and the political and legal establishment blatantly covered up and retaliated by targeting my law license.
~ Andrew Thomas
We see beauty in simplicity because we can see its underlying efficiency.
~ Andrew Thomas
operator matrix,
~ Andrew Thomas
If a force can disappear purely because the point of view of the observer changes, then this means the force does not exist: it is dependent on the observer, it has no objective reality (i.e., not all observers experience it as real). It is not a real force. Therefore, Einstein realised gravity was just a fictitious force.
~ Andrew Thomas
as an explosion. Imagine a stick of dynamite standing in a stationary position on a table. Nothing is moving, so the total momentum of
~ Andrew Thomas
In fact, if you have a very large volume of mass at constant density, then it is guaranteed to become a black hole if the volume is large enough — no matter how small the density! [13] This means that if we had a large volume of soft cotton wool, with a uniformly low density, it would collapse to form a black hole as long as the volume was large enough.
~ Andrew Thomas
many experiments which intrigued him. He was particularly interested in the properties of light. By using a spinning colour

An excellent definition can be found in the book Quantum Enigma by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner: "Whenever any property of a microscopic object affects a macroscopic object, that property is 'observed' and becomes a physical reality." For example, when a microscopic photon hits the macroscopic screen in the double-slit experiment, then
~ Andrew Thomas
spacetime model, we might now reasonably ask what is the momentum of the car through time. The answer, fairly obviously, is that
~ Andrew Thomas
Complexity is seen as a virtue, a selling-point.
~ Andrew Thomas
But it is this peculiar behaviour of the gravity spring which enables the universe to have zero total energy.
~ Andrew Thomas
chemist Albert Szent-Györgyi said: "Scientific discovery consists of seeing what everyone else has seen, but thinking what no one else has thought.
~ Andrew Thomas
If someone was to tell you that the sum of all the numbers was minus one twelfth I suspect you might imagine the person was mildly crazy. Well, this is actually an established mathematical fact: the sum of all the numbers is minus one twelfth (or, in decimals, -0.083).
~ Andrew Thomas
each elementary particle is paired with a superpartner particle. However, the LHC has not detected any of these predicted
~ Andrew Thomas
As Albert Einstein said: "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.
~ Andrew Thomas
The combined speed of any object's motion through space and its motion through time is always precisely equal to the speed of light.
~ Andrew Thomas
the whole block of spacetime from the start of the universe to the end of the universe exists as one unchanging block. This is called the block universe model.
~ Andrew Thomas
the fifth dimension is proposed to be circular and microscopic.
~ Andrew Thomas
the addition of a fifth dimension has the effect of introducing the electromagnetic field in four-dimensional spacetime.
~ Andrew Thomas
By understanding how the same scene can appear different, depending on the viewpoint from which it is perceived, we learn to separate the accidents of viewpoint from the properties of the thing itself. By treating subjectivity objectively, we master it.
~ Andrew Thomas
relativity, and how to make sense of bizarre quantum mechanical behaviour — were considered in my previous book. I am pleased to say that this new book is going to propose a potentially simple solution to many of the remaining problems. Forces
~ Andrew Thomas
instead of time defining the behaviour of a clock, the light clock essentially defines time!
~ Andrew Thomas
The Schwarzschild radius of the universe is the huge distance of 1.5 × 1027m (calculated from the mass of 1054kg) — a distance which is larger than the radius of the current observable universe. So the whole mass of the universe is contained within its Schwarzschild radius. This means that, for the universe as a whole, the repulsive effect becomes highly-significant. Gravity would act to expand the universe.
