This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. This usually refers to an explosive phenomenon associated with the appearance of a forestfall, named nowadays as the Kulikovskii one.…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. In the late June - early July, 1908 there were various optical anomalies in the atmosphere. Early the Author already considered…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. It is devoted to the Evenki accounts of the 1908 Tunguska event collected in 1920s - 1930s. It is important to research accounts of…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. In this paper its author would like to draw attention to some geophysical aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. A review of some…
Historically there were two main reasons to assign the 1908 Tunguska event to a spacebody infall: a) newspaper notes about a fall of a meteorite near the town of Kansk (later claimed to be false); b) eyewitnesses reports about seeing…
This letter presents a new solution for the Tunguska event of June 30th, 1908. The solution has been obtained starting from seismic data, is in fair agreement with the observational evidence, and supports the asteroidal hypothesis for the…
Till now there is no solid scientific proof for any of the numerous hypotheses proposed for the Tunguska 1908 event. Regarding the most popular "spacebody infall" interpretation it is reasonable to compare the Tunguska event with the 2013…
The 1908 Tunguska event is used to be associated with a forestfall named after its first scientific researcher -- Leonid Kulik.However association of the Kulikovskii forestfall with the events in the morning of June 30, 1908 is based only…
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the June 30, 1908 Tunguska event. In those days, various sky optical anomalies were observed over a large area. In the presented paper, the main focus is on…
It is suggested that the Tunguska event in June 1908 cm-large was due to a cm-large ball of a condensate of bound states of 6 top and 6 anti-top quarks containing highly compressed ordinary matter. Such balls are supposed to make up the…
Mirror matter is predicted to exist if parity (i.e. left-right symmetry) is a symmetry of nature. Remarkably mirror matter is capable of simply explaining a large number of contemporary puzzles in astrophysics and particle physics…
Some examples of the events associated with falls of rocks and iron terrestrial origin from the sky are considered (in scientific publications they are often called as meteor-wrongs or pseudo-meteorites). Their possible connections with…
The well-known Tunguska-1908 phenomenon (TP) problems (the fast transfer of the kinetic energy of the meteoroid W~10-50 Mt TNT to air, with its heating to T>10^4 K at an altitude of 5-10 km, the final turn of the smoothly sloping, ~0-20^o…
The 1908 June 30 Tunguska Event (TE) is one of the best studied cases of cosmic body impacting the Earth with global effects. However, still today, significant doubts are casted on the different proposed event reconstructions, because of…
Bad statistics make research papers unreproducible and misleading. For the most part, the reasons for such misusage of numerical data have been found and addressed years ago by experts and proper practical solutions have been presented…
This talk was given at the Tunguska-2001 international conference but it is not about the Tunguska event. Instead we tried to give some flavor of mirror matter, which is predicted to exist if parity is an unbroken symmetry of nature, to…
Since the seminal paper by Tversky and Kahneman, the conjunction fallacy has been the subject of multiple debates and become a fundamental challenge for cognitive theories in decision-making. In this article, we take a rather uncommon…
In 1988, in cooperation with a team of experimental physicists, a Condensed Matter theorist, X, published in Physical Review Letters a crucial experimental result dealing with a revolutionary new theory. The conclusions of the paper were…
A popular scientific contribution should not contradict any established facts and ought to be understandable. I complied with both these requirements and am offering a sufficiently full introduction to probability theory. Furthermore, I…
This paper discusses the likelihood of whether the Pioneer anomaly is due to 'mundane' systematic errors/effects or indicative of new or unappreciated physics. The main aim of this paper is to argue that recent publications suggesting that…
