This short encyclopedia article, reviewing current information on neutron stars, is intended for a broad scientific audience.
In the paper "origami rings" by Joe Buhler et al. the authors investigate the so called origami rings. Taking this paper as a starting point we find some further properties of these rings.
Relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei have been known to exist for 100 years. Blazars with their jet pointing close to our line of sight are some of the most variable and extreme objects in the universe, showing emission from radio to…
The paper addresses the phenomenon of cross-cultural resonance, which arises when ideas coming from different cultures and view systems show mutual correlation, or coherence. We particularly dwell on the parallels between modern physics and…
This is a write-up of introductory remarks that I made at the UIC conference in honor of Lawrence Ein's 60th birthday. It presents an informal survey of some of Ein's work, interspersed with stories and reminiscences.
In this article we have extended the original work of Chandrasekhar on the structure of white dwarfs to the two-dimensional case. Although such two-dimensional stellar objects are hypothetical in nature, we strongly believe that the work…
Freeman J. Dyson, a brilliant theoretical physicist and a gifted mathematician, passed away on 28 February 2020 at the age of 96. A vignette of his outstanding contributions to physical sciences, ranging from the subject of quantum…
This paper describes Indian ideas of the early-Purana/Mahabharata times (centuries BC) on the nature of space, time and consciousness that would be of interest to the physicist. In order to simplify references, we quote mainly from…
In this short paper, we present some comments on the paper: Straight lightning as a signature of macroscopic dark matter, by Nathaniel Starkman, Harrison Winch, Jagjit Singh Sidhu, and Glenn Starkman, Phys. Rev. D 103, 063024, Published 18…
Cosmic rays represent one of the most fascinating research themes in modern astronomy and physics. After almost a century since their discovery, a huge amount of scientific literature has been written on this topic and it is not always easy…

In this talk I summarize the physics case of the International Linear Collider (ILC) focusing on its potential towards discovery, discrimation or disentanglement of new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM).
A critical discussion of recent attempts to revise the modern physics history is presented.

The arithmetic mean plays a central role in science and technology, being directly related to the concepts of statistical expectance and centrality. Yet, it is highly susceptible to the presence of outliers or biased interference in the…
