Dimensional Resonance Theory proposes that gravity and fundamental forces can be interpreted as emergent phenomena arising from three-dimensional waves (3D) projected onto lower dimensions. To test the internal consistency of this proposal,…
The van der Waals interaction between two polarizable atoms is considered. In three dimensions the standard form with an attractive $1/|R|^6$ potential is obtained from second-order quantum perturbation theory. When the electron motion is…
The radiation-reaction problem in classical electrodynamics has long resisted a consistent solution: the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation admits runaways and pre-acceleration, while the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation avoids these pathologies…
Thermal waves are caused by pure diffusion: their amplitude is decreased by more than a factor of 500 within a propagation distance of one wavelength. The diffusion equation, which describes the temperature as a function of space and time,…

The key problem of the theory of exterior differential systems (EDS) is to decide whether or not a system is in involution. The special case of EDSs generated by one-forms (Pfaffian systems) can be adequately illustrated by a 2-dimensional…
In odd space-time dimensions, the retarded solution of the massless wave equation has support not only on the light cone, but also inside it. At the same time, a free massless field should propagate at the speed of light. The apparent…
The relativistic full Euler equations for a Chaplygin gas are studied. The Riemann problem is solved constructively. There are two kinds of Riemann solutions, in which one consists of three contact discontinuities and the other involves a…
Radial fall has historically played a momentous role. It is one of the most classical problems, the solutions of which represent the level of understanding of gravitation in a given epoch. A {\it gedankenexperiment} in a modern frame is…
