| Black hole, strangelets and space phase transition at LHC? | 29 Sep 2005 03:15 GMT | 4 |
CERN's LHC is scheduled to start operation in 2007. Our Final Century, a 2003 book by Sir Martin Rees (http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/IoA/staff/mjr/), a scientist with impeccable credentials, describes the following extreme risks:

| Pseudo orthogonal group | 22 Sep 2005 18:05 GMT | 8 |
Anybody knows how to prove, or at least knows the reference that shows, that the special pseudo orthogonal group has exactly two connected components? By special pseudo orthogonal i mean, the group of all linear

| Logical inconsistency in Lorentz's theory | 22 Sep 2005 18:05 GMT | 1 |
As has been discussed at length recently here, Lorentz ether theory is almost universally regarded as equivalent to special relativity. In mathematical form, namely in the form of the lorentz transform, this is a necessary truth, since the interpretation of an equation is really

| Gauge Transformations in Momentum Space? | 21 Sep 2005 21:54 GMT | 5 |
Most textbook treatments of gauge transformations do it in position space. So far, I haven't found any that discuss in detail what they look like in momentum space, and what issues arise in the QFT Fock space.

I'm trying to find graphs or measurement data of the Molar extiction coefficient of IR-dyes, such as: Gallium(III) 2,3-naphthalocyanine chloride Vanadyl 2,3-naphthalocyanine

| Is there a true singularity in nature? | 21 Sep 2005 08:03 GMT | 12 |
I am well aware that a number of physical models contain or predict singularities. My question is: Is there any experimental evidence that any singularity actually exists or are they all artifacts of the models?

| Proper Time in General Relativity | 21 Sep 2005 08:03 GMT | 18 |
I would like to point out,once again,that the definition of proper time in General Relativity needs to be modified/corrected. Even though the present definition dTau = ds/c for timelike geodesics (Tau = proper time, ds = infinitesimal interval), gives correct

| Spinors | 21 Sep 2005 08:02 GMT | 1 |
I've been trying to 'get' spinors, and I would appreciate a little help with a question on chirality. In two dimensions the two component spinor is mapped onto the vector space via the Pauli matrices sigma_1 and sigma_2. Eg x = psi^{dagger}

I would like to prove here that Maxwell's electrodynamics is not Poincare (= relativistically) invariant. In particular, I would like to show that inertial transformations in this theory do not form the Poincare group. I just need to provide one

| Smolin was here - statistical vs. quantum probabilities | 20 Sep 2005 04:10 GMT | 8 |
Some time ago I got worked into the idea ([1],[2]) that all physical instances of probabilities are just squared moduli of quantum amplitudes, which the observer is often unable or unwilling to track. This was the result of some deconstructive argument on the distinction

| Quantum Function of Mirrors | 19 Sep 2005 22:56 GMT | 25 |
What is known of the quantum function of mirrors? I mean, forget 'beams' and 'rays' of light and geometric angles etc., what are the photonic considerations? Any insights welcome, (pun intended -- though I am serious, well, mostly).
