"That one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of any thing else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity, that I believe no man, who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty for thinking, can ever fall into it." Sir Isaac Newton

How are interactions transmitted at a distance? Why is the Universe expanding? How is it possible for the orbit of a charged particle around another charged particle not to deteriorate in time? What is the Physical interpretation of the Casimir effect? Was the speed of light constant since the Big Bang? Is cold fusion feasible? Is anti-gravity a practical field of research? What did Einstein mean by "relative"? This website deals with these questions and their possible answers. We're all about science, not mad science.

Mad science and Physics

"Do not disturb my circles", supposedly these were the last words uttered by Archimedes before a Roman soldier killed him. Some people who had ideas ahead of their times were insulted, harmed or even killed because of said ideas. It does not follow that all ideas not accepted today will prove right. There are some isolated cases however where great ideas were ignored or ridiculed at the beginning because the people that had them, either did not know how to properly present them or were ignored because of their particular physical or psychological traits.

I will list here some of the people and ideas that have not been proven but have not been disproved either and which I consider to be interesting.
