In this paper, we deal with fluid motion in terms of quantum mechanics. Mechanism accounting for the appearance of quantum behavior is discussed.
There is no doubt that the field of Fundamental Constants in Physics and Their Time Variation is one of the hottest subjects in modern theoretical and experimental physics, with potential implications in all fundamental areas of physics…
We postulate that all the presently known kinematic effects on physical quantities related to a material particle (e.g., masss increase) are due to its velocity relative to surrounding matter, and not to the observer's reference frame. The…
Quantum mechanics is based on a series of postulates which lead to a very good description of the microphysical realm but which have, up to now, not been derived from first principles. In the present work, we suggest such a derivation in…
The current observational and experimental bounds on time variation of the constants of Nature are briefly reviewed.
A rule to assign a physical meaning to Lagrange multipliers is discussed. Examples from mechanics, statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics are given.
Several physical concepts, including the concept of time, are clarified herein by taking into account existing experimental data. In addition, the missing links among these physical concepts are established. This allows us to take another…
In this paper we develop a formalism which models all massive particles as travelling at the speed of light(c). This is done by completing the 3-velocity v of a test particle to the speed of light by adding an auxiliary 3-velocity component…
I present a brief review on space and time in different periods of physics, and then talk on the nature of space and time from physical arguments. I discuss the ways to test such a new perspective on space and time through searching for…
We consider the current results in search for and description of temporal variations of fundamental physical constants (FPCs) obtained under laboratory and astrophysical conditions. On the basis of fixed values of base constants, those FPCs…
Crucial experiments have a long history of contributions to progress in physics. Similarly, we claim that in the period roughly from 1955 to 1985 crucial calculations played a significant role in setting the agenda for elementary particle…
An assessment of the present status of the theory, some immediate tasks which are suggested thereby and some questions whose answers may require a longer breath since they relate to significant changes in the conceptual and mathematical…
The concept of time as used in various applications and interpretations of quantum theory is briefly reviewed.
In order to test the validity of Mach's principle, we calculate the action of the entire universe on a test mass in its rest frame, which is an acceleration ${\bf g}^*$. We show the dependence of the inertia principle on the lapse and the…
We review the theory of martingales as applied to stochastic thermodynamics and stochastic processes in physics more generally.
This is a short review on the applications of Lieb-Robinson bounds for a general readership of mathematical physicists.
The ongoing progress in quantum theory emphasizes the crucial role of the very basic principles of quantum theory. However, this is not properly followed in teaching quantum mechanics on the graduate and undergraduate levels of physics…
The present discussion concerning certain fundamental physical theories (such as string theory and multiverse cosmology) has reopened the demarcation problem between science and non-science. While parts of the physics community see the…
It is shown how the uncertainty principle can provide a mechanism for the generation of fluctuations of very diverse scales in the early universe. This phenomenon could account for the large-scale structure observed today.
I review the theoretical motivation for the axion and present an update of the experimental status of axion searches. I finally comment on some aspects of the physics of axion-like particles.
