    Where Can I Find a Proof for the Wronskian Formula?

    Can anyone point to a proof for the Wronskian formula: W[v,v*] = v'v* - vv*' = 2iIM(v', v*) Thanks

    Conservation of Energy in General Relativity

    An article by Michael Weiss and John Baez might help. http://cybermax.tripod.com/Energy.html Another one by Philip E. Gibbs http://www.prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/viewFile/89/85

    Question on Cosmological Constant paper

    In the paper, http://arxiv.org/pdf/1205.3365v1.pdf, page 21, the author argues that if: t →∞(1-iϵ), all the terms in equation (193) goes to zero, except the first term. Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks

    Question about taking the difference between two square root expression

    Indeed, the 1/4 in the PDsat-b(B:2) term is a typo error. Thanks again

    Question about taking the difference between two square root expression

    In Ramakrishna's paper, http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1111/1111.1922.pdf , he derived equation (9), page 5. It is a difference of two square-roots using an approximation method. Can anyone help in how this is done? Thanks

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    In Ramakrishna's paper, http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1111/1111.1922.pdf , it very much nails the error in the Opera`s findings. QUESTION: The author derived equation (9), page 5. It is a difference of two square-roots using an approximation method. Can anyone help in how this is done...

    Basic derivation of Lorentz Transformation

    From x' = ax → Δx' = a Δx But I = Δx', therefore I = a Δx, or Δx = I/a Hope it helps.

    What faster than light have to do with cause and effect paradox ?

    For a simple graphic explanation, see http://soi.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-ftl-violates-causality.html

    Are laws of nature really the same in all reference frames?

    Relativity is a difficult subject. Even simple cases are difficult to tackle. I would suggest that before looking at complex situations, you start looking at simple cases to begin with. Here are two simple cases: 1) Twin paradox. See: http://soi.blogspot.com/2011/09/twin-paradox.html 2)...

    Why do some think faster than c= time travel?

    If you like a simple graphic explanation, see here: http://soi.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-ftl-violates-causality.html

    Are laws of nature really the same in all reference frames?

    A consequence of Relativity is that we seek laws that are Lorentz invariant: meaning, if we have an equation A = BC + D in one frame of reference, then using the lorentz transformation laws to another frame of reference, we get A' = B'C' + D'. Note that not all equations will have this property...

    At the same time, doesn't it also rule out the Higgs Boson?
