X11.00001: Simplified Model of Pre-inflationary Remnants held in our Present Epic--Gravitational and Inertial Transfer Robert Evans Scenario pre-inflationary infinite density mass wall transfers as a stationary entity of non-oscillating simultaneity (thought intuitively being ``most-perfect-symmetry'' at stasis), but transfers instantaneous - setting the local. This initial condition due to pure bare vacuum attractor (universal constant). Wholeness of order is adjusted titled ``Ulteriortonics'' - based on simple fundamental mathematics from pre-initial conditions to post-remnant conditions. Faster-than-light cryogenic state fractures creating an imbalance of energy. Post bang produces degeneracy of transfer coherence, giving way to present epic speed-of-light limit (quasi-related remnant), utilizing *nautical measure. A bare vacuum attractor nucleus prohibiting entry of convergence past Higgs Field. Perimeter holds to Pauli Exclusion Principle - trapped quantized, with new particle production. Oscillating ``back-splash-effect'' appears as ``particle/wave duality.'' [Preview Abstract] |

X11.00002: Gravitation in 3D Spacetime John Laubenstein, Kandi Cockream 3D spacetime was developed by the IWPD Scale Metrics (SM) team using a coordinate system that translates n dimensions to n-1. 4-vectors are expressed in 3D along with a scaling factor representing time. Time is not orthogonal to the three spatial dimensions, but rather in alignment with an object's axis-of-motion. We have defined this effect as the object's ``orientation'' ($X)$. The SM orientation ($X)$ is equivalent to the orientation of the 4-velocity vector positioned tangent to its worldline, where $X^{-1}=\sin \theta +1$ and $\theta $ is the angle of the 4-vector relative to the axis-of -motion. Both 4-vectors and SM appear to represent valid conceptualizations of the relationship between space and time. Why entertain SM? Scale Metrics gravity is quantized and may suggest a path for the full unification of gravitation with quantum theory. SM has been tested against current observation and is in agreement with the age of the universe, suggests a physical relationship between dark energy and dark matter, is in agreement with the accelerating expansion rate of the universe, contributes to the understanding of the fine-structure constant and provides a physical explanation of relativistic effects.

X11.00004: New exact dynamic field solutions of Einstein's equation Franklin Felber An exact metric first derived, but not analyzed, by Hartle, Thorne, and Price [1] is used to calculate the exact time-dependent gravitational field of a spherical mass moving with arbitrarily high constant velocity. The exact field solutions [2] confirm that even the weak field of a spherical mass moving faster than 3$^{-1/2}c$ is repulsive in the forward and backward directions [3]. The exact threshold conditions required for gravitational repulsion of particles at rest are determined as a function of source speed and field strength and particle position with respect to the relativistic source. The results are consistent with the repulsion of relativistic particles by a weak static Schwarzschild field, discovered 85 years ago by Hilbert [4]. \\[4pt] [1] J. B. Hartle, K. S. Thorne, and R. H.

X11.00005: A brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness: DM and DE explained James Beichler I have previously presented a geometrical explanation of Dark Matter and Dark Energy that is falsifiable, but the model was criticized for being non-mathematical. In this structure, the four-dimensional space-time of relativity is extrinsically curved in a higher spatial dimension. Dark Matter is curvature in the higher dimension that is not directly associated with local matter, but instead results from an interaction between the curvature of local matter and the global curvature due to all matter in the universe. The earlier criticism has now been overcome by looking at the possible particulate source of galactic halos and a simple yet revolutionary algebraic formula has been derived. The algebraic formula implies a five-dimensional unified field structure such as that developed by Kaluza in 1921 and extended by Einstein and his colleagues in the late 1930s. Others, such a H.T. Flint, have developed more complete mathematical models of similar five-dimensional structures. The new equation also shows how gravity can be quantized on the basis of relativity without hypothesizing the discrete nature of matter, i.e., the existence of specific ``particles'' of gravity, inherent in quantum mechanics, the Standard Model and other quantum models.

X11.00006: Apparent sizes of black holes and their alternatives James Graber Observers recently made a non-trivial measurement of the apparent diameter of Sagittarius A*, the black-hole candidate at the center of the Milky Way (Doeleman, \textit{et al}., \textit{Nature}, 4 September 2008). At face value, this measurement appears to be more than two sigma smaller than predicted. Better measurements are anticipated within the next five to 10 years, or perhaps much sooner. This presents an opportunity for a new, further (imprecise, to be sure, but qualitatively independent) test of the predictions of general relativity. We present a few mathematical formulae relevant for predicting the apparent size of black holes or the equivalent collapsed objects in all metric theories of gravity, including general relativity.

X11.00007: Quantum Gravity of IED Particles J. Zheng-Johansson The internally electrodynamic (IED) model\footnote{See e.g. a) {\it arxiv:0812.3951}, b) {\it J Phys Conf Ser}{\bf 128}. 012019, 2008.}, developed based on overall experimental observations since 2000, briefly states that {\it a simple material particle like electron is composed of an oscillatory charge of a characteristic frequency $\Omega$ and zero rest mass, generally also traveling at velocity $v$, and the resulting Doppler-effected electromagnetic waves $({\bf E},{\bf B})$'s}. Based on first principles solutions for the IED processes a range of basic particle equations/properties have become predictable. One prediction is: two IED particles of masses $M_,M_{2}$ ($=\hbar \Omega_i/c$, $i=1,2$) and charges $q_1,q_2$ separated at $r$ apart in a dielectric vacuum act always on one another an attractive force $F=\sqrt{F_{12}F_{21}}=\frac{C M_1M_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r^2}$, where ${\bf F}_{i j}=q_{j} {\bf v}_{pj} \times {\bf B}_{i} $ is the Lorentz or depolarization radiation force on $q_j$ due to the radiation depolarization field ${\bf E}_{pi}=-\chi_{0^*} {\bf E}_{i}$ of $q_{i}$, electric field ${\bf E}_{i}$, and magnetic field ${\bf B}_{i}$, with ${\bf E}_{pi} $ driving $q_j$ into motion at velocity ${\bf v}_{pj}= \int \frac{q_jd {\bf E}_{pi}}{M_j})$, $i,j=1,2$; $C = \frac{ \pi \chi_{0^*}e^4}{ \epsilon_0^2 h^2\rho_{_l}}$ with $q_1,q_{2}=\pm e$ and $e, \epsilon_0, h$ fundamental constants of the usual meaning. $F$ resembles directly Newton's gravitational force. The fields $E_i,B_i$ are by nature quantized at the scale of Planck constant $h$; consequently $E_{pi}$ and therefore $F$ are each quantized at the scale $h$. The present work gives a formal quantum electrodynamic re-derivation of this force. [Preview Abstract] |
