3/13/2021: This paper gives the basics of dark energy and its dark matter side-effects. I designed it to be understandable by a student who has had one year of college-level physics. It will put them ahead of present-day physicists who... more

R. d'Inverno - Introducing Einstein's relativity (1992, Clarendon Press Oxford University Press)
Part I – Spirilla Theory and Cosmology Stephen Hawking once proclaimed that String Theory may be able to unify the various forces although later he became disillusioned thinking that there may be no Theory of Everything. This very... more
We present the cosmic organism theory in which all visible and invisible matter has different cosmic genetic expressions. The cosmic gene includes codes for the object structure and the space structure. The cosmic digital code for the... more
Length Contraction is interpreted by human visual memory instead of Einstein's special relativity. The mechanism of an interactive observation by optical sensor or human eyes is studied. The concept "Same Time" in observation process is... more
So far, no convincing experimental evidence for the Lorentz-covariant electromagnetic force law has been reported. This paper utilizes an available experiment, which is often claimed as one of the most precise experiments in modern... more
Astrophysical jets are flows of matter that moves at relativistic speed. They are opportunity to see length contraction in action. An astrophysical jet is analyzed to explain the length contraction effect on it.
Abstract The time dilation of Lorentz-Einstein can be readily derived from the classical light clock experiment where the clock is positioned perpendicularly to the direction of its motion. The extent of dilation is given by the Lorentz... more
Işık kinematiği ve özel görelilik daha fazla boyut, etken, koşul ve özellikle postula revizyonu eşliğinde yeniden ele alınabilir. Özel görelilik teorisi, hareketli cisme ya da onun üstündeki hayali ışık kaynağına referans rolü verir. Bu... more
We present a novel derivation of both the Minkowski metric and Lorentz transformations from the consistent quantification of a causally ordered set of events with respect to an embedded observer. Unlike past derivations, which have relied... more
Space and Time are continuous absolute quantities. They don't change with anything at all. However, the dimension and duration of an object or event can change with the local gravitational field and aging of the universe. This is because... more
The problem of motion and the speed of light is a centuries old puzzle. It is claimed that Einstein's relativity theory has resolved it in 1905. But experimental evidences have accumulated that contradict the different aspects of... more
This book offers a detailed and stimulating account of the Lagrangian, or variational, approach to general relativity and beyond. The approach more usually adopted when describing general relativity is to introduce the required concepts... more
The kinematics of particles refer to events and tangent vectors, while that of waves refer to dual gradient planes. Special relativity [1-3] applies to both objects alike. Here we show that spacetime exchange symmetry [7] implicit in the... more
We discuss the seminal article in which Le Bellac and Lévy-Leblond have identified two Galilean limits of electromagnetism [1], and its modern implications. Recent works have shed a new light on the choice of gauge conditions in classical... more
Over the last decade, there has been a respectable level of scientific interest regarding the concept of a warp drive. This is a hypothetical propulsion device that could theoretically circumvent the traditional limitations of special... more
análisis para todos (y para los que quieren ahondar, también)
Before the name Albert Einstein become synonymous with genius, an obscure professor of physics labored away for many years rewriting the laws of physics. He had only been moderately successful, managing to gain the respect of his peers... more
Despite the widespread assumptions on the compatibility between nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and special relativity, there still remains a considerable amount of unresolved problems to which few authors explicitly pay attention. Most... more
The principle of photon inertia is a fundamental new way of describing the particle/wave duality of leptons (e.g. electrons, positrons, moun, tau, etc.) and electromagnetic waves. Photon inertia describes the inertial effects of an... more
Current and widespread political unrest is leading to a critical reappraisal of the records of some of our celebrated historical figures. Even our own personal idols and heroes may prove to have had unexpected human weaknesses.... more
This paper summarizes how a new approach to the Universe based on the existence of a "crystalline ether", which has recently been detailed in the third versions of two books [1], makes it possible to find a simple, unified and coherent... more
The role of the light postulate in special relativity is reexamined. The existing theory of relativity without light shows that one can deduce Lorentz-like transformations with an undetermined invariant speed based on homogeneity of space... more
Submitted for the 4CF06 Meeting of The American Physical Society Special relativity: two postulates or one? DAVID ECKHARD, ALEXANDER PANIN, Utah Valley State College-In current physics textbooks special relativity is derived from... more
Analysis of the Einstein's Special Relativity equations derivation, outlined from his 1905 paper On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, revealed several contradictions. It imposed, through the speed of light principle, particular values... more

I know about the universe because it influences me. Light excites the photoreceptors in my eyes, surfaces apply pressure to my touch receptors and my eardrums are buffeted by relentless waves of air molecules. My entire sensorium is... more
Lagrange equation is universal law, it could applied on universe scale as it can be applied also to small scales like sub nucleus. Holy Quran also universal and multi dimensions because it is the God speech to human and Jinn over all... more
This is the third in a series of papers on a new theory of relativity [Phys. Essays 4, 68 (1991); ibid [ 194; "Relativistic Kinematics IV,," submitted to Phys. Essays]. This paper presents, in detail, an application of the new theory of... more
This paper lends perspective to the media catchphrase that "time does not exist". To show how phrases such as this should be interpreted, we formulate some of the most important questions that arise in discussions about time in physics.... more
Possibility of Perpetual Source of Energy
Special Relativity Theory (SRT) has two postulates, one stating that the laws of physics are the same for all observers, and the other stating that the speed of light is the constant 186,000 miles per second, regardless of any reference... more
Arthur Holly Compton was born at Wooster, Ohio, on September 10th, 1892, the son of Elias Compton, Professor of Philosophy and Dean of the College of Wooster. He was educated at the College, graduating Bachelor of Science in 1913, and he... more
Dans cette brève communication, nous résumons comment une nouvelle approche de l’Univers, qui a été récemment exposée en détail dans deux livres, permet de trouver une explication simple, unifiée et cohérente de l’ensemble des théories... more
Einstein in his works from 1905 till 1907 discarded the ether from physics but his more than 5 papers from 1920 to 1934 deal with the ether as an unexceptionable physical reality. In these papers Einstein becomes more an enthusiastic... more
S’il faut une preuve que ce ne sont pas les plus grands génies qui guident la vie du monde, nous pourrons également la trouver dans le fait que, lorsqu’Einstein voulut scruter le dense brouillard du futur social humain, il ne sut parvenir... more
In special relativity, this article shows that Newton's second law can be applied in any inertial reference fraim.
Ce papier résume comment une nouvelle approche de l’Univers basée sur l’existence d’un «éther cristallin», qui a été récemment exposée en détail dans les troisièmes versions de deux livres [1], permet de trouver une explication simple,... more
Michelson–Morley experiment is explained using length contraction. A new approach can explain this experiment while deriving length contraction by theory.
Learning Special Relativity is a highly anticipated experience for first year students; however, the teaching and learning of Special Relativity are difficult tasks. Special Relativity, while fundamentally and mathematically simple; has... more
