These notes are written for the book "From the past to the future: the legacy of Lev Lipatov", editors: Jochen Bartels et all, which will be published by WS. I tried to share with you the atmosphere and the flavour of everyday life in…
This brief text is in memory of Professor Ivan Kupka. It presents his vision, scientific life, his interest in mathematics and our join collaboration.
This article is a multiauthored portrait of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra that consists of testimonials written by several friends, colleagues, and students of his. It provides unique insights into his personality, working style and habits, and his…
We use experiment-supported dimensional analysis to further bolster our arguments that crucial information on the emergence and/or nature of space could be extracted from the combination of the properties of gravitational and strong…
The GRANIT project is the follow-up of the pioneering experiments that first observed the quantum states of neutrons trapped in the earth's gravitational field at the Institute Laue Langevin (ILL). Due to the weakness of the gravitational…
I provide for the first time in English a line-by-line translation of the entire text of the monumental 1840 memoir of Olinde Rodrigues, "On the geometrical laws governing the motions of a solid system..." published in French in the Journal…
This Introduction opens the book {\sl Standing Together in Troubled Times} which presents a story of friendship between Wolfgang Pauli, one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the 20th century, and Charlotte Houtermans. They met at…
Many physicists, following Einstein, believe that the ultimate aim of theoretical physics is to find a unified theory of all interactions which would not depend on any free dimensionless constant, i.e., a dimensionless constant that is only…
We indicate the progress of experimental gravity, present an outlook in this field, and summarise the Observational/Experimental Parallel Session together with a related plenary talk on gravitational waves of the 2nd LeCosPA Symposium.
Martin David Kruskal was one of the most versatile theoretical physicists of his generation and is distinguished for his enduring work in several different areas, most notably plasma physics, a memorable detour into relativity, and his…
This text is based on a commemorative lecture dedicated to Enrique Gaviola, delivered on August 14, 2025, at the C\'ordoba Astronomical Observatory on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of his birth. The event was organized by the OAC,…
The earlier paper, Inertial Mass, Its Mechanics - What It Is; How It Operates, developed the mechanics of inertial mass. The present paper is for the purpose of equivalently developing gravitation. The behavior of gravitation is well known,…
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…
A brief account of the development of the concept of the gravitational constant and the debate around in in Britain at the end of the 19th century.
Rather than offering chronologically ordered encyclopedic knowledge of a lifetime, only some of the most striking events of the existence of this well-known scientist are here pointed out. Sections: Life; Man of laws; Interest in…
We present a way of teaching Einstein's special relativity. It starts with Galileo's relativity, the learners know from previous lectures. The lecture underlines that we can have three transformation equations for the space-time coordinates…
Newton's gravitational constant G, which determines the strength of gravitational interactions both in Newton's theory and in Einstein's General Relativity, is the least well known of all the fundamental constants. Given its importance, and…
The essay is devoted to the personality of the prominent theorist D.V. Volkov and his pioneer works in quantum field theory and elementary particle physics.
The paper aims to apply the complex-octonions to explore the variable gravitational mass and energy gradient of several particles in the external ultra-strong magnetic fields. J. C. Maxwell was the first to introduce the algebra of…
A memorial to Prof. Hidekuni Hidekoshi, Kyoto University, Japan - an accelerator pioneer in Japan, teacher, mentor, friend, unassuming but knowing his accomplishments and worth, frugal but generous, enjoying life. Japanese contributions…
