Theoretical Physics

Albert Einstein once said something to the effect of "I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details." I feel the same way. I know that I will never know everything about the universe, but I think (or at least I hope) that the basic rules will be understandable to us. I am content to remain ignorant of many phenomenological facets of our world as long as I feel like I understand what is going on at the bottom of things. Therefore my research tends to revolve around the more fundamental aspects of physics.

My current favorite research topics are:

Magnetism
The Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction Hypothesis
Schrodinger's Equation
Bell's Theorem
Vacuum Fluctuations

Click on 'Download Files' for a draft of my paper on Magnetism. A related quotation is found in Jackson Electrodynamics page 237 that refers to the pre-Maxwell equations: "Let us recall that all but Faraday's law were derived from steady-state observations. Consequently, from a logical point of view there is no a priori reason to expect that the static equations will hold unchanged for time-dependent fields." To the right is a picture of the electric field predicted by the paper that was plotted using Plasma.

Questions that I am thinking about. If you think you can help me understand the answer to any of these, please send me an email through the 'Contact Me' link in the about section.
