Laboratory test of a class of gravity models.(Report)
October 1, 2007... Ideas for explaining the mechanism of gravity involving the expansion of matter have been proposed several times since the 1890's. Due to their radical nature and other reasons, these ideas have not gotten much attention. An experiment is...

The fine-structure constant and some relationships between the electromagnetic wave constants.
October 1, 2007... The four primary wave constants are brought together in one place. The often overlooked wave impedance is proposed to be exactly as fundamental as the speed of light. The little-used relationship between these constants highlights a central...

Electromagnetic and gravitational pictures of the world.
October 1, 2007... The review of the theory of electromagnetic field together with the special and general theories of relativity has been made. The similar theory of gravitation has been presented which has the property of Lorentz-invariancy in its own...

Unified Field Theory--Paper I: gravitational, electromagnetic, weak & the strong force.
October 1, 2007... I propose a Unified Field Theory of the Gravitational, Electromagnetic, Weak & the Strong force. A new force that obeys S U(4) symmetry emerges and this new force constitutes the testable prediction of the theory. The theory rests on a new...

Refracting saddle wave model of stable fundamental particles.
October 1, 2007... Abstract. This paper presents a semi-classical structural model for electrons, protons, and their antiparticles. The structure is based on refractive interaction of an electromagnetic saddle wave on an elliptic ring path. These elliptical...

Derivation of Einstein's equation, E = [mc.sup.2], from the classical force laws.
October 1, 2007... In several recent papers we showed that choosing new sets of postulates, including classical (pre-Einstein) physics laws, within the main body of Einstein's special relativity theory (SRT) and applying the relativity principle, enables us to...

Understanding the retardation of the returned astronaut's clock and GPS clocks using the physical behaviour of moving light clocks.(Global Positioning System)
October 1, 2007... The prediction of retardation of an astronaut's clock during a round trip, compared to the clock of the stay-at-home, introduced by Einstein in his 1905 paper has been the most contentious issue for relativity. This resulted in a raging...

Alternative method of developing Maxwell's fields.
October 1, 2007... A method to derive Maxwell's fields form Gauss' law and the Lorentz force law is presented. Additionally we assume retardation of electric interactions and that the electric field is independent of the time derivatives of the field-source...

Length contraction on rotating disc: an argument for the Lorentzian approach to relativity.
October 1, 2007... A thought experiment with rotating disc (Ehrenfest paradox) is considered. With minor exceptions, all resolutions of this paradox, from 1909 onward, have been formulated with the tacit assumption that special relativity theory (SRT) is...
