  • Mathematical Aspects of Paradoxes in Cosmology

    Can Mathematics Explain the Contemporary Cosmological Crisis?

    by Michal Křížek, Lawrence Somer ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book provides a mathematical and numerical analysis of many problems which lead to paradoxes in contemporary cosmology, in particular, the existence of dark matter and dark energy. It is shown that these hypothetical quantities arise from excessive extrapolations of simple mathematical models to the whole physical universe. Written in a completely different style to most books on General ... Read more

  • Apple Of The Sun - The Argument For The Universal Gravitational 'Constant' Not Being Constant

    太阳的苹果--"引力常数G "不为常数的推证

    by Zhenzhi Feng, 冯振志, 冯辰 Chen Feng ...
    在天文观测中，有不少“引力异常现象”，是既有的引力理论所无法解释的。因此，研究各种空间粒子的运动对形成力的影响，具有举足轻重的意义。本人从客观实际出发，根据恒星的粒子辐射，推导出了恒星的三个斥力公式，并且撰写了恒星斥力的文章。力的存在一定会有施力者。我反复揣摩：靠质量本身就能形成引力，这从能量守恒定律的角度看，是说不通的。进一步的推论是，引力的施力者应该存在于质量之外。经过长期思考，我认为，相邻的两个物体之间，能出现“引力”，根据引力表现出的各种特征，比较像是宇宙空间环境中漫射的神秘莫测的强透射粒子捣鬼的结果。目前，我们虽然全面探测它们有困难，但也不能轻率地否认它们的存在和作用。中微子是强透射粒子的典型代表，尤其是 。 是隐形高手，身怀绝技，最有可能是引力的肇事者。宇宙中中微子的通量，目前我们无法确知。在没有找到更有说服力的引力理论之前，要认可宇宙大爆炸理论是完全正确的，也为时尚早 ...
