Structure of the space of photonic states is discussed in the context of a working hypothesis of existence of a preferred frame for photons. Two polarisation experiments are proposed to test the preferred frame scenario.
Recent developments in our understanding of neutrino masses and their implications for physics beyond the standard model are reviewed.
We study the effects of a finite mass for the photon on its propagation in a weak gravitational field. In particular, we analyse the gravitational time delay, also known as the Shapiro effect. We work in isotropic coordinates in the…
The concept of Scwartzschild radius is extended to the photon and the upper limit imposed on the energy of a photon as a result of the three characteristics of the photon--the constancy of the velocity of light, the spin value of $1\hslash$…
The photon model of light has been known for decades to be self-inconsistent and controversial theory with numerous intrinsic conflicts. This paper revises the model and explores its applicability for description of classical…

In this contribution we discuss recent measurements by the LEP experiments on photon structure functions.
One of the most intringuing questions about neutron stars concerns their maximum mass. The answer is intimately related to the properties of matter at densities far beyond that found in heavy atomic nuclei. The current view on the internal…

A review of current neutron star masses and radius measurements is given and the resulting constraints on modern equation of states for nuclear matter. Phase transitions in particular to quark matter is discussed and the novel color…
Present cosmological observations yield an upper bound on the neutrino mass which is significantly stronger than laboratory bounds. However, the exact value of the cosmological bound is model dependent and therefore less robust. Here, I…
