When matching parts of a surface to its whole, a fundamental question arises: Which points should be included in the matching process? The issue is intensified when using isometry to measure similarity, as it requires the validation of…
Non-commutative black holes(NCBH), due to the non-commutativity of spacetime coordinates, lead to a modification of the spacetime metric. By replacing the Dirac delta function with a Gaussian distribution, the mass is effectively smeared,…
Working with the assumption of non-zero photon mass and a trajectory that is described by the non geodesic world line of a spinning top we find, by deriving new astrophysical bounds, that this assumption is in contradiction with current…
