    Graduate Where Does the Radiated Energy Come From in a Gravitational Collision?

    There was a quantity of energy radiated away, yet the entire e=mc^2 is still there

    Graduate Where Does the Radiated Energy Come From in a Gravitational Collision?

    Remember, any energy associated with the gravitational field is part of the mass, and is all accounted for after the particles are merged.

    Graduate Where Does the Radiated Energy Come From in a Gravitational Collision?

    Presume there are two massive bodies in open space, having zero relative velocity, and having the same space ambient temperature. That is, the incoming and out-flowing black body radiation is balanced and the temperature is unchanging. Presume these bodies become gravitationally attracted, and...

    Graduate How Can Gravity and Electromagnetism Be Unified Through a Rank 1 Field Theory?

    Doug: Feng and Gallo have been working on the luninocity density relation for a solution to the dark matter issue. You may find their paper useful. "Galactic Rotation Described with Thin-Disk Gravitational Model" http://arxiv.org/abs/0803.0556 DT

    Graduate The Calculated Value of the Fine Structure Constant From Gravitational Potential

    CarlB: I have a number of friends that go to the April meeting, and I enjoy going whether of not I present anything, This years conference is particularly good, with some really interesting papers on gamma ray astronomy, and pulsar binaries. Be warned, that if you’re not doing conventional...

    Graduate The Calculated Value of the Fine Structure Constant From Gravitational Potential

    It should strike your mind that someone reading the paper might be at the APS meeting and be interested enough to stop by, Physicists do attend the meeting.

    Graduate The Calculated Value of the Fine Structure Constant From Gravitational Potential

    Its being presented to provoke critique. Engendering "credibility" is for those who need their ego's stroked.

    Graduate The Calculated Value of the Fine Structure Constant From Gravitational Potential

    This paper is scheduled for presentation at the April meeting of the APS in St Louis 1:30 PM, Sunday, April 13, 2008 http://meetings.aps.org/Meeting/APR08/Event/83394. The paper has undergone a few revisions the latest of which is located at: http://www.arxdtf.org/css/alpha.pdf

    Graduate An Alternative Model of the Double Slit Interference Experiment

    wmadden: The double slit undoubtably is the most intriguing of physics experiments, so simple yet so enigmatic. Everyone knows the mathematical model, it works so well, yet we humans have a problem wrapping our mind around the actual physical process. People who value sanity just leave it...

    Graduate An Alternative Model of the Double Slit Interference Experiment

    With: And: Given these points which seem to presume the basis of QM I'm not sure I see an advantage for the theory :smile DTF

    Graduate Scalar Gravitational Theory with Variable Rest Mass

    \mu is just the gravitationla radius Gm/c^2 The presumption is that particle energy mc ^{2} = m_{\o}c^{2} + G M m/r = m _{\o}c^{2} +1/2mv}^{2} =constant , is not the normal assumption. The normal assumption is that gravitational energy is being contributed by the...

    Graduate Scalar Gravitational Theory with Variable Rest Mass

    sweetser: Apologies and thanks for the 1/2 typo which has been corrected. R^t_t = 8 \pi (T^t_t - 1/2T) This historical reference to negative Komar mass is on well worked out physics available in most texts, and I didn't think the notatio needed to be that precise, I just used the short...
