  • Isaac Newton vs. Robert Hooke on the Law of Universal Gravitation

    by Nicolae Sfetcu ...
    One of the most disputed controversy over the priority of scientific discoveries is that of the law of universal gravitation, between Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke. Hooke accused Newton of plagiarism, of taking over his ideas expressed in previous works. In this paper I try to show, on the basis of previous analysis, that both scientists were wrong: Robert Hooke because his theory was basically ... Read more

  • When Gravity Breaks Down

    by Balungi Francis ...
    In Newton's view, all objects exert a force that attracts other objects. That universal law of gravitation worked pretty well for predicting the motion of planets as well as objects on Earth and it's still used, for example, when making the calculations for a rocket launch. But Newton's view of gravity didn't work for some things, like Mercury's peculiar orbit around the sun. The orbits of planets ... Read more

  • Quantum Mechanics in the Geometry of Space-Time

    Elementary Theory

    by Roger Boudet ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book continues the fundamental work of Arnold Sommerfeld and David Hestenes formulating theoretical physics in terms of Minkowski space-time geometry. We see how the standard matrix version of the Dirac equation can be reformulated in terms of a real space-time algebra, thus revealing a geometric meaning for the “number i” in quantum mechanics. Next, it is examined in some detail how ... Read more

  • Galilei And Einstein

    Reflections On The Theory Of General Relativity. The Free Fall Of Bodies.

    by Santo Armenia ...
    Translated by Termini Salvatore ...
    We had studied Einstein’s Theory of General relativity starting from elementary phenomena, together with the Galileo's principle on free fall of bodies that represent his precondition. We underlined the discrepancy of Galileo's principle, as the mass of the test body is not being subtract from the mass of the earth, and because the reciprocal attraction between the bodies has not been evaluated. ...

  • Tensorial Methods and Renormalization in Group Field Theories

    by Sylvain Carrozza ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The main focus of this thesis is the mathematical structure of Group Field Theories (GFTs) from the point of view of renormalization theory. Such quantum field theories are found in approaches to quantum gravity related, on the one hand, to Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) and on the other, to matrix- and tensor models. Background material on these topics, including conceptual and technical aspects, are ... Read more

    Series Book 20 - Gravitation
    Is the universe and cosmos mostly designed out of diversity or unity? Clearly, the universe is made up of similar galaxies and dissimilar radiation. But is it a single universe composed of many objects or is it just many objects having different properties? Since we cannot observe the universe, what is our concept of it? Here, the problem is to find a One or Many concept of the universe. While ... Read more

  • Cosmology Beyond Einstein

    by Adam Ross Solomon ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This work investigates the theoretical and cosmological implications of modifying Einstein's theory of general relativity. It explores two classes of modifications to gravity: those in which the graviton is given a small mass, and those in which Lorentz invariance is spontaneously broken. It elucidates the nature of cosmological perturbations in theories of massive bimetric gravity, including a ... Read more
