MODELING THE UNIVERSE AS A QUANTUM WELL

Michael Harney — 2014-03-19

Physics International, Published online: 19 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.1.4

By modeling the Universe as a quantum well for standing waves and solving Schrodinger’s equation for a particle trapped in this well, the solutions for the allowable rest-energies of all particles i...

LOOKING FOR THE FIFTH DIMENSION

Paul S. Wesson — 2014-03-19

Physics International, Published online: 19 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.5.7

An exact solution shows that a new kind of wave can propagate through the Einstein vacuum if there is an extra dimension, thereby providing a way to test the dimensionality of the universe.

THE NUMERICAL VALUES OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS OF THE MODEL OF SELFVARIATIONS AND THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE

Emmanuil Manousos — 2014-03-20

Physics International, Published online: 20 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.8.14

The law of selfvariations determines quantitatively a slight increase of the rest masses and the electric charges of material particles as a common cause of quantum and cosmological phenomena. At cosm...

ESTIMATIONS OF TOTAL MASS AND ENERGY OF THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE

Dimitar Valev — 2014-03-21

Physics International, Published online: 21 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.15.20

The recent astronomical observations indicate that the expanding universe is homogeneous, isotropic and asymptotically flat. The Euclidean geometry of the universe enables to determine the total gravi...

ON THE ABSENCE OF ANTIMATTER FROM THE UNIVERSE, DARK MATTER, THE FINE STRUCTURE PARAMETER, THE FLUCTUATIONS OF THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND RADIATION AND THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE OF THE UNIVERSE

Emmanuil Manousos — 2014-11-28

Physics International, Published online: 28 November 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.21.35

The theory of selfvariations correlates five cosmological observations considered to be unrelated by the physical theories of the previous century. The absence of antimatter from the Universe, the Dar...

NUCLEAR DETONATION AROUND COMPACT OBJECTS

C. Sivaram — 2014-03-24

Physics International, Published online: 24 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.36.44

In this study we explore the various aspects involved in nuclear detonations occurring around compact objects and the energetics involved. We discuss the possibility of sub-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs ...

DECOUPLING BETWEEN TORSION AND MAGNETIC FIELDS IN BOUNCING COSMOLOGY AND GALACTIC DYNAMO SEEDS

L. C. Garcia de Andrade — 2014-03-27

Physics International, Published online: 27 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.45.48

Recently Salim et al. (2007), have shown that galactic dynamo seeds can be possibly attainable in bouncing cosmological models with QED Lagrangeans. In this study we generalise their result by include...

REVIEW OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVE DETECTIONS: DYNAMICAL SPACE

Reginald Thomas Cahill — 2014-03-27

Physics International, Published online: 27 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.49.86

This is a review of the numerous successful gravitational wave detections and the implications for the nature of space and time. The prevailing space time paradigm in physics was founded on the putati...

STRINGENT LIMITS FOR THE MAGNETIC FIELD FROM EARLY UNIVERSE DYNAMOS IN RF² COSMOLOGY WITH TORSION

L. C. Garcia de Andrade — 2014-03-27

Physics International, Published online: 27 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.87.91

Bamba et al. (2012) have obtained cosmological magnetic fields in teleparallel torsion theories of gravity that are not compatible with galactic dynamos. This result agrees with previous ones obtained...

CRITERIA FOR THE COMPLEXITY OF SUCCESSIVE ASTRONOMICAL PARADIGMS

Panagiotis Papaspirou — 2014-03-28

Physics International, Published online: 28 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.92.102

We investigate the complexity of three successive astronomical paradigms in the science of Physics, namely the Ptolemaic paradigm, the Copernican paradigm and the Keplerian paradigm and mention briefl...

KRETSCHMANN INVARIANT AND RELATIONS BETWEEN SPACETIME SINGULARITIES ENTROPY AND INFORMATION

Ioannis Gkigkitzis — 2014-03-28

Physics International, Published online: 28 March 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.103.111

Curvature invariants are scalar quantities constructed from tensors that represent curvature. One of the most basic polynomial curvature invariants in general relativity is the Kretschmann scalar. Thi...

ON SMOOTH SOLUTIONS OF NON LINEAR DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS, f_n+1 = u(f_n), PART I

Kyriakos Kefalas — 2014-05-07

Physics International, Published online: 7 May 2014; doi:10.3844/pisp.2014.112.127

We consider the dynamical system, fn+1 = u(fn), (1) (where usually n, is time) defined by a continuous map u. Our target is to find a flow of the system for each initial state f0, i.e., we seek contin...
