The beta decay process is described as
neutron -> proton + antielectronneutrino + electron  (1)
However this process is also possible
neutron + electronneutrino -> proton  + electron  (2)

The theory of relativity has engendered a lot of weird physics:
wormholes, black holes, time travel via time-like loops, tachyons,
spacetime warps, etc... It's all driven by a desire to impress a lay
public that continually seeks mysterious or incomprehensible things to

Recently I have posted a preprint on the web
(http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/hep-ph/0502142) that contradicts the conclusion of
the unification of electroweak interactions, which is the very reason the
Standard Model is awarded Nobel prize.

       As more particle physicists are begining to believe that GR
itself causes the universe to not allow measurments at scales smaller
than the Plank length (see, for instance MINIMUM LENGTH FROM FIRST

A Look at Quantum "Spookiness"
    The results of quantum theory were described as "spooky" by Drs. Einstein,
Podalsky, and Rosen because quantum theory seemed to reject "objective
reality". They believed that all observed effects must be produced by "local"

I've been searching for this article about simultaneous observation of
wave and particle in an experiment made last year or but can't find it.
Who
are the experimenters again? Is it a double slit? Complementary law

To those who have studied and thought about this for many months. What
can you say about it. I'm referring to the Afshar experiment which
shows light
can behave as particle and wave at the SAME time potentially killing

"Are Unified Field Theories Justified?"
    Modern physics seems to be searching for ways to incorporate
all physical phenomena into a single unified theory. The question that comes

Tom and jOE are too EMBARASSED to sign their names as REAL doctors.
Space, WHERE an OBjECT is, is disCRETE; Space OBjECTs occupy SPACE.
There's NO GRAViTY, VELOCiTY, MASS or ANGULAR MOMENTUM in GEOMETRY.

The Bohr radius including the effect of reduced mass can be given by
the following equation:
a_0 = (lambda_p + lambda_e) / (2 * pi * alpha)

I recently read that photons are bosons, i.e. that (in distinction to
fermions) any number of them can be acommodated in a given quantum
state.
Now the question I have is: If any number of photons can be acommodated

It's fair to say, if it were not for SR, QM would not exist.  De
Broglie's wave-particle duality is dependent on the existence of the
Lorentz Transformation.
Thus it is paradoxical  that QM is "hostile" to SR, being more

I am working on a science fiction story, and as part of the story I
need some technobabble related to superstrings.  The fantasy technology
involved does not have to be in any sense scientifically correct or
possible;  but for the benefit of readers who might actually know some
