A bang into nowhere: comments on the universe expansion theory.
January 1, 2003... The notion of a first ever moment of Time is self-contradictory: In lacking a moment before it, it lacks a lower barrier, so there is no stopping it from--inconsistently--receding further and further into an infinitely remote...

What is an Object?(physics)
January 1, 2003... Physics cannot be conducted without a proper definition of the word `object'. Here I show that current misconceptions about this word, as well as about the scientific method, are the root of invalid hypotheses in Physics. Keywords:...

Addition of velocities and electromagnetic interaction: geometrical derivations using 3D Minkowski diagrams.
January 1, 2003... This article presents intuitive, geometrical derivations of the relativistic addition of velocities, and of the electromagnetic interaction between two uniformly moving charged particles, based on 2 spatial + 1 temporal dimensional Minkowski...

On the non-invariance of the Faraday law of induction.
January 1, 2003... The paper confirms a known fact that the Faraday law of induction does not, in general, follow from Maxwell's equations. It represents a separate and independent physical law, being established experimentally. In this ...

What the Global Positioning System tells us about the twin's paradox.
January 1, 2003... In the GPS, all atomic clocks in all reference frames (in orbit and on the ground) are set once and stay synchronized. We can use this same trick to place a GPS-type clock aboard the spacecraft of a traveling twin. That clock...
