Newton's force law $\frac{d {\bf P}}{dt} = {\bf F}$ is derived from the Schr\"odinger equation for isolated macroscopic bodies, composite states of e.g., $N\sim 10^{25}, 10^{51}, \ldots$ atoms and molecules, at finite body temperatures. We…
We describe an expansion of the solution of the wave equation in the De Sitter - Schwarzschild metric in terms of resonances. The main term in the expansion is due to a zero resonance. The error term decays polynomially if we permit a…
