General relativity does not prohibit the existence of space-times that describe time travel. Consideration of such spaces gives rise to a lot of questions and paradoxes, among which there are thermodynamic ones. This paper considers two…
This paper gives preliminary information regarding the new particles and energies titled "Timeless Particle" and "Timeless Energy" that existed before the beginning of time.
Are we smarter now than Socrates was in his time? Society as a whole certainly enjoys a higher degree of education, but humans as a species probably don't get intrinsically smarter with time. Our knowledge base, however, continues to grow…
We calculate the rate at which a free tachyon (faster than light particle) would emit gravitational radiation. It is very small.
A model of discrete space-time is presented which is, in a sense, both Lorentz invariant and has no restriction on the relative velocity between particles (except v < c). The space-time has an inbuilt indeterminacy. Published originally as…
The astrophysical relevance of chaos for a test particle with spin moving in Schwarzschild spacetime was the objective of \cite{Verhaaren10}. Even if the results of the study seem to be qualitatively in agreement with similar works, the…
It is commonly accepted that superluminal travel may be used to facilitate time travel. This is a purely special-relativistic argument, using the fact that for observers in two frames of reference, separated by a spacelike interval, the…
Astrophysics papers often rely on software which may or may not be available, and URLs are often used as proxy citations for software and data. We extracted all URLs from two journals' 2015 research articles, removed those from certain…
In todays world, the internet affects every aspect of human life; it has caused changes in corporate websites as well as in many other areas. Corporate websites should be more dynamic, more interactive, and more compatible with new…
Several physical concepts, including the concept of time, are clarified herein by taking into account existing experimental data. In addition, the missing links among these physical concepts are established. This allows us to take another…
This thesis investigates in the use of access log data as a source of information for identifying related scientific papers. This is done for arXiv.org, the authority for publication of e-prints in several fields of physics. Compared to…
In this letter, we describe a novel scheme for searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. The idea is based on correlation of time-synchronized readouts of distant ($\gtrsim$100~km) optical magnetometers. Such an approach limits…
Extending in a straightforward way the standard Dirac theory, we study a quantum mechanical wave-equation describing free spinning particles --which we propose to call "Pseudotachyons" (PT's)-- which behave like tachyons in the momentum…
In this study the tachyon-like Dirac equation, formulated by Chodos to describe superluminal neutrino, is solved. The analytical solutions are Gaussian wave packets obtained using the envelope method. It is shown that the superluminal…
In this doctoral thesis we provide one of the first theoretical expositions on a quantum effect known as entanglement in time. It can be viewed as an interdependence of quantum systems across time, which is stronger than could ever exist…
The transport of energetic particles is intimately related to the properties of plasma turbulence, a ubiquitous dynamic process that transfers energy across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. However, the mechanisms governing the…
Understanding the physics of neutrinos is of paramount relevance for the development of high energy physics, cosmology and astrophysics, thanks to their characteristics and phenomenology. In particular, the property of changing flavor while…
I discuss the scientific rationale and opportunities in the study of high energy particle accelerators away from the Earth; mostly, those outside the Solar System. I also briefly outline the features to be desired in telescopes used to…
Previous research indicates that after standard instruction students at all academic levels often construct a conceptual framework in which the ideas of absolute simultaneity and the relativity of simultaneity co-exist. This article…
Education is a goal-oriented field. But if we want to treat education scientifically so we can accumulate, evaluate, and refine what we learn, then we must develop a theoretical framework that is strongly rooted in objective observations…
