My understanding is that the Universe is expanding and that this expansion
is speeding up. What is fuelling this expansion rate increase that is
working against the force of gravity?
The answer seems to be Dark Energy. Whatever that is!

I have a question in quantum statistics ...
In looking at a region containing identical fermions, the relations
for finding their Fermi-Dirac pressure, or the average F-D energy
per fermion, involve knowing the number density of the fermions

While I'm perfectly prepared to reject Dr. Randell Mills' and his
theory of Hydrinos and being non-sensical, I was more inclined to do so
before reviewing the spreadsheet he has published. It purports to
calculate, in a tractable, closed-form solution, multiple ionization

Wrong guess.

Hello to everyone:
My newest paper, "General Relativity, Maxwell's Electrodynamics, and the
Foundations of the Quantum Theory of Gravitation and Matter," just posted to
ArXiV.

I am not sure if the Pauli principle does not contradict the final
speed notion.
As one knows in a crystal the electrons must be on certain energy
levels by pairs.

New thermodynamic description for elastic solids has been proposed.  It
can be found either on my web-site:

or it is accessible from the archive

In nonrelativistic classical mechanics and electrostatics the two body
bound state is an eliptical orbit.
In relativistic classical mechanics and electrodynamics the electron
will radiate as it accelerates and spiral into the nucleus.

Is this roughly accurate:
General relativity is a theory of space, time, and motion
quantum mechanics is a theory of light and matter.
Would you say then that a unified theory would have to be a single

Whenever I see a diagram for the gravitational collapse of the star, it
lacks an extended region like you get in Kruskal spacetime.  I haven't
looked at the details, but does anyone know if these spacetimes are
actually maximally extended?  Or do they admit of Kruskal-style

The earlier articles I have found invoking grassman variables are
studies of supersimmetry in the mid-seventies.
Does anybody has a clue of earlier work?
Also, any idea of which is the reference in Grassman himself speaking

I would appreciate help with the following question.  Are there any
physics problems where a normal eigenvalue problem needs to be solved?
Note, that there appears to be some confusion over the term "normal
eigenvalue problem".  I mean an eigenvalue problem with a normal

In one of his last works Mathematical Foundations of
Quantum Theory. (Academic Press, Inc., 1978) Dirac claimed:
Most physicists are very satisfied with this situation [refer to
divergences of QFT]. They argue that if one has rules for doing

Regular pyramidal packing of hard spheres
Hi!
I am trying to find the best way to pack hard spheres in regular
pyramids.

I would like to have some information about prof. Kaku. I have seen he
cite himself as the creator of String Theory. Is this correct ? Which
was (and is) its contribution to String Theory itself ?
Also, some of his comments seems to me a bit too speculative (warp
