God knows so much more than we do

Dr Bryon Anderson, retired Physics Professor, Kent State Univiersity, simplifies complex physics ideas, such as dark matter and other topics, that all point to the one simple fact, that God knows so much more than we do.

Isaiah 55:8-9
My thoughts are higher than your thoughts

1 Corinthians 1:25
The foolishness of God is higher than man’s wisdom

1900 Scientists thought they figured out what the world was made of.

Aristotle’s physics – everything is made of earth, air, water, fire
The natural state of objects is to be at rest

Late 1600 Newton (Christian) – natural state of things is not to be at rest – friction
Objects in motion continue in motion, objects at rest continue at rest

Modern science developed in 1800s – electricity and magnetism
Maxwell’s laws of electricity and magnetism

People began to realize things are made of something smaller – everything is made up of molecules

Around 1900, people felt the world was all figured out, everything could be explained

1905 – Journal of Physic – Einstein. Premier physicist of the time. Worked in a patent office, did physics

No direct evidence of molecules, but experiment of finely ground gold dust bouncing around helped develop hypothesis

Photoelectric effect – stumped – worked with ultraviolet light, but not infrared light
Einstein assumed that the light came in little bundles – photons
Started Quantum mechanics, even though he didn’t like it

Law of Special Relativity
nothing travels faster than the speed of light, e=mc2

Mass added up doesn’t add up. Some is missing? It oughta be flying apart.

Dark matter is mass you can’t see that is in holding everything together, 3 times greater than luminous matter. People still don’t know what all this matter is. It has to be there or else the galaxies would be flying apart.

Late 1980s-90s
People started saying that expansion rate of the universe was speeding up, but that didn’t make sense.
Dark matter is now called dark energy. Total amount of dark energy is 3 times greater than luminous matter.
95% of the universe – we don’t know what it is. In the 1900, we thought we had it all figured out.

Quantam mechanics and how mysterious it is.
Richard Feinman received a nobel prize on quantum mechanics.
Double slit problem
Destructive Interference

Light is a wave/particle duality. We give names to things we don’t understand, which makes us feel like we know what we’re talking about.

Electrons have a wave nature also

back to Isaiah 55:8-9
It all makes sense to God, because he put the earth together.
