a philosopher of nature

nce of black holes and wormholes possible. A black hole is a celestial body so extremely dense with a gravitational pull so intense that light cannot escape. Since there is no light coming from a black hole it cant be seen, however scientists have seen evidence of them. The prospect of a wormhole makes it possible to travel freely through the time and space continuum. Possibly Einsteins most mind-boggling theory, and one of great interest to me, is the Unified Field Theory. This theory proposes to unify the four known interactions or forcesthe strong, electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational forcesby a simple set of general laws. Four distinct forces are known to control all the observed interactions in matter: gravitation, electromagnetism, the strong force (a short-range force that holds atomic nuclei together), and the weak force (the force responsible for slow nuclear processes, such as beta decay)(Unified Field Theory). The attempts to develop a unified field theory are grounded in the belief that all physical phenomena should ultimately be explainable by some underlying unity. Einstein spent the last thirty years of his life trying to develop this theory without an acceptable result. However other scientists did to apply his findings.During the Second World War, all participant countries were looking for a way to end hostilities quickly, no matter how fantastic the manner. If some unorthodox or revolutionary invention could do the trick, all the better, as long as the war terminated triumphantly for them. The U.S. Navy seemed obsessed with the idea of the perfect camouflage, invisibility. If only one of their ships could be made invisible it could possibly end the war. On October 28, 1943, an experiment was conducted at the Philadelphia Naval Yard. This event became known as The Philadelphia Experiment(Moore).The U.S.S. Eldridge lay in its dock with tons of electronic equipment on board. When the experiment involving the Unified ...
