  • The foundation of the generalized theory of relativity

    by Albert Einstein ...
    The theory which is sketched in the following pages forms the most wide-going generalization conceivable of what is at present known as "the theory of Relativity;" this latter theory I differentiate from the former "Special Relativity theory," and suppose it to be known. The generalization of the Relativity theory has been made much easier through the form given to the special Relativity theory by ... Read more

  • An Interpretation of Gravitational Anomaly Using New Formulae On Gravity And Repulsion

    新引力斥力公式对引力异常现象的解读

    by Zhenzhi Feng, 冯振志, 冯辰 ...
    本书收集了几篇论文，是《新引力斥力公式的结构分析》的续集。（作者的《新引力斥力公式的结构分析》一书，已由美商EHGBooks 微出版公司出版。）这些文章是作者们利用新引力斥力公式，对比较敏感的几个引力问题，进行尝试性研究的结晶。目前，让科学家们最头痛的引力问题，莫过于“星系旋转曲线异常”。如果承认既有引力理论是正确的，就必须在每个星系的外围寻找到质量十分庞大的一圈“暗物质”。但是，依据大量天文观测的结果，对“大量”暗物质的寻找是令人失望的。根据新引力斥力公式，作者结合旋涡星系和椭圆星系的实际运行情况，分析了处于星系不同位置的恒星系所受到的引力和斥力等综合作用力，推演了星系中的某个恒星系的综合受力的计算公式。依据这些公式进行初步估算，会得到与现有的星系旋转曲线契合度很高的计算结果。作者将推演的内容撰写成了《新引力斥力公式对旋涡星系旋转曲线的解读》和《新引力斥力公式对椭圆星系旋转曲线的解读》 ...

  • Beyond Intelligent Design: From an autonomous universe to a functional virtual reality

    by EFTHIMIOS HAROKOPOS ...
    Is our world autonomous, or does its existence require another level of reality that acts in the background to bring about the phenomena? This is an intriguing question that has not been settled by science since the time that the Eleatic philosophers challenged the autonomy of the world 2,500 years ago. If our world is not autonomous, then there are significant implications regarding every aspect ... Read more
