De Imenso, De Minimo and De Infinito: Giordano Bruno's micro and infinite universe and the "A-centric Labyrinth" of modern cosmology and its philosophical constraints.
January 1, 2001... This paper remembers Giordano Bruno in the 400th aniversary of his death and reports his studies about "immensity," "infinity" and "minimum," and its consequence on modern cosmology. Keywords: Giordano Bruno, history of science, infinite...

Poincare's ether: A. Why did Poincare retain the ether?
January 1, 2001... This paper is divided into three parts, in which I suggest five answers to the question: Why did Poincare retain the ether? These answers are based on Poincare's own reasoning: the ether was required for the explanation of stellar aberration,...

Poincare's ether: B. What characterizes Poincare's ether?
January 1, 2001... In this paper I discuss Poincare's solution to the following problem: the principle of relativity is not valid for rotations and we thus can claim for absolute rotation. The principle of relativity was experimentally not valid for uniform...

Comment on the paper by A.L. Kholmetskii "remarks on the correspondence of the relativity and causality principles".
January 1, 2001... It is shown that attempts of Dr. Kholmetskii to find internal paradoxes in the relativistic theory, which is self-consistent one, are questionable. Introduction In a recent paper presented in this issue of the journal, Kholmetskii...

Remarks on the correspondence of the relativity and causality principles.
January 1, 2001... A particular problem about special kind of two light pulses propagation has been considered in cases of inertial motion, constant homogeneous gravitation field and progressive non-inertial motion with constant acceleration. A contradiction...

Gravitational differences of a chemical nature.
January 1, 2001... At equal latitude the acceleration due to gravity in not equal in the northern and southern hemispheres. This does not depend only on the bigger or lower concentration of masses of the Earth, but also on the chemical nature of these masses....

Spreading of wave packets, uncertainly relations and the de Broglie frequency.
January 1, 2001... The spreading of quantum mechanical wave packets is studied in two cases. Firstly we look at the time behaviour of the packet width of a free particle confined in the observable Universe. Secondly, by imposing the conservation of the time...

A preliminary indication of controllable biological quantum nonlocality?
January 1, 2001... A new analysis of a 3 decades old experiment, concerning brain wave correlations between the brains of identical twins, taken in the light of the nonlocality theories of John Bell, the successful experiment of Aspect regarding same, and...

Comment on "dependence of gravitational action on chemical composition: new series of experiments" by M. Nanni (Apeiron 7, p. 195, 2000).
January 1, 2001... In our comment we show that the application of appropriated statistical methods to the results of the author proves that the author in this article has not been able to reach his goal. In article [1] the results of a very interesting...
