Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvolution of Time Concept in Physics and in PhilosophyC. Sivaram, Kenath Arun, O. V. KirenWhat is ’time’? This is a question that has perplexed many a physicist and philosophers alike. The perception of the passage of time appears ingrained in all biological systems where growth, evolution and decay of objects, etc. are measurable indicators of the passage of time. Here we look at various physical models of time, from Newtonian to relativistic. We also … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2015 · 8,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQUANTUM APPROACH TO THE GRAVITATIONAL WAVESSebastiano TostoThe study proposes a quantum approach to explain existence and main features of the gravitational waves radiated by an isolated two body orbiting system. The quantum eigenvalues of such a system are calculated with the help of the space-time quantum uncertainty, without additional hypotheses via an “ab initio” model. The approach is deliberately non-relativistic: The model does not implement any … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 6 Jan 2014 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Lense-Thirring Effect in the Anomalistic Period of Celestial BodiesIoannis Haranas, Omiros Ragos, Ioannis GkigkitzisIn the weak field and slow motion approximation, the general relativistic field equations are linearized, resembling those of the electromagnetic theory. In a way analogous to that of a moving charge generating a magnetic field, a mass-energy current can produce a gravitomagnetic field. In this contribution, the motion of a secondary celestial body is studied under the influence of the … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 9 Dec 2013 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDYNAMICAL 3-SPACE: NEO-LORENTZ RELATIVITYReginald Thomas CahillThe major extant relativity theories-Galileo’s Relativity (GaR), Lorentz’s Relativity (LR) and Einstein’s Special Relativity (SR), with the latter much celebrated, while the LR is essentially ignored. Indeed it is often incorrectly claimed that SR and LR are experimentally indistinguishable. Here we show that (i) SR and LR are experimentally distinguishable, (ii) that comparison of gas-mode Michelson interferometer experiments with spacecraft … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jul 2013 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantum Standpoint for a More Understandable UniverseSebastiano TostoThe study implements the concept of space-time quantum uncertainty to outline a possible model of universe. Simple considerations show that the relativistic equations inferred as a consequence of the uncertainty allow describing effects typically expected in the frame of quantum phenomena, e.g., the fluctuations. These results contribute to clarify issues today still open, like the dark energy, the inflationary expansion … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
