Inertial mass: a changing entity? Weber vs. Einstein, Weber plus Einstein or none?
July 1, 2005... Mikhailov claims to have measured changes in the electron's inertial mass when located inside a uniformly charged spherical shell [1,2]. The above mass, calculated by Assis [3] founded on Weber's force [4] becomes [m.sub.W] = [m.sub.o](1 -...

The role of retarded momentum and spin in explaining the Meissner effect and other electrodynamic phenomena.
July 1, 2005... The paper focuses on the problem of developing an electrodynamic model of the supercurrent-growing transition stage in the Meissner effect. The London theory giving the quantum-mechanical explanation for the steady superconducting state says...

On "hidden momentum" of magnetic dipoles.
July 1, 2005... This paper examines the problem of "hidden" momentum for quasi-static macroscopic systems. We have analysed a number of particular physical problems and shown that introducing of "hidden" momentum is strongly required to fulfil the...

A dynamic approach to de Broglie's theory.
July 1, 2005... Einstein's relativity (SRT) [1], raised an important question: Do its laws apply to matter/energy or to the frame of reference containing it. In other words, is SRT a property characterizing matter/energy or is it an imposed dynamics as...

Black holes, other exotic stars and conventional wisdom.
July 1, 2005... The notion of 'conventional wisdom' is considered and its possible role in the determination of the direction of scientific research examined and questioned. Here the influence of 'conventional wisdom' on work in the area of exotic stars, in...

Time-asymmetric relativity *.
July 1, 2005... Universally valid physics should be time-asymmetric at all levels. This is attained by introducing an additional time whose rate with respect to oscillations, unlike that of the familiar time, is directionally periodic. This modification...
