In the frame of multifractal theory of time and space (in this model our universe is consisting of real time and space fields and is the multifractal universe) in the works [1]-[16] some problems were analyzed: how the fractional dimensions…

Recently David Jennings and Terry Rudolph published two papers as reaction on Maccone's paper "Quantum Solution to the Arrow-of-Time Dilemma". In these papers, the authors suppose that second law of thermodynamics is not relevant for…

A formula for the apparent rotation of a relativistically moving object has been known for some time, but it seems not to have been realized that this formula has a very pretty interpretation in terms of formal group laws. Version 2…

We present evidence that an interplay of the laws of microphysics and cosmology renders the Planck momentum unattainable by an elementary particle. Several categories of accelerators are analyzed and shown to fail.

In a previous paper [arXiv:quant-ph/9906007] Hayden and I proved, using the Heisenberg picture, that quantum physics satisfies Einstein's criterion of locality. Wallace and Timpson have argued that certain transformations of the Heisenberg-…

We give a straightforward and divergence free derivation of the equation of motion for a small but finite object in an arbitrary background using strong field point particle limit. The resulting equation becomes a generalized geodesic for a…

Newton's First Law of Motion is typically understood to govern only the motion of force-free bodies. This paper argues on textual and conceptual grounds that it is in fact a stronger, more general principle. The First Law limits the extent…

Comment on S.-Q. Shen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 187203 (2005) [cond-mat/0506676]. We show that the equations of motion deduced by Shen are incorrect and derive semiclassical expression for the operator of force, which also contains a term of…

Uncertainty relations for particle motion in curved spaces are discussed. The relations are shown to be topologically invariant. New coordinate system on a sphere appropriate to the problem is proposed. The case of a sphere is considered in…
