We review some material connecting gravity and the quantum potential and provide a few new observations.
A short introduction to the physics and the method to treat quantum crystals of electrons (Wigner crystal) and the related disordered elastic systems.
Some highlights of the priority in the discovery of the gravitational field equations are given.
A review is given of some classical and quantum aspects of 2+1 dimensional gravity.
I will first give a brief but comprehensive review of the status of our knowledge in neutrino physics. With reference to a not too far future I will then discuss the perspectives that appear to me to be most important and promising.
Gisbert Winnewisser's astronomical career was practically coextensive with the whole development of molecular radio astronomy. Here I would like to pick out a few of his many contributions, which I, personally, find particularly interesting…
I discuss the main features of the concept of law in physics. Fundamental laws from Newtonian mechanics to general relativity are reviewed. I end with an outlook on the new form of laws in the emerging theory of quantum gravity.
Brief recollections of two giants of physics, their origins, similarities and differences.
An outline of J\"org Eschmeier's main mathematical contributions is organized both on a historical perspective, as well as on a few distinct topics. The reader can grasp from our essay the dynamics of spectral theory of commutative tuples…
We give a rigorous mathematical treatment of some portions of the theory developed by Alexander Migdal on the momentum loop equation.
We discuss David Bohm's dual contributions as a physicist and thinker. First, de Grijs introduces Bohm's universe, with an emphasis on the physical quest that led Bohm to the elaboration of an original cosmology at the nexus of science and…
One of the most important philosophers in history, the German Friedrich Nietzsche, is almost ignored by physicists. This author who declared the death of God in the 19th century was a science enthusiast, especially in the second period of…
A retrospective of Martin Schwarzschild's work on galaxy dynamics.
The pioneering work of E.C.G. Stueckelberg is briefly analyzed: the formalism of the Stueckelberg field, able to describe a massive vector field, is reviewed, and some applications are presented. In particular, starting from his very first…
I review aspects of Michael Atiyah's research in fundamental theoretical physics during the last ten years of his life, and contrast his deliberate interest in physics during this period with the inadvertent impact on physics of his early…
The World Year of Physics (2005) is an international celebration to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Einstein's "Annus Mirabilis". The United Nations has officially declared 2005 the International Year of Physics. However, the…
