A Theory of Gravity Based on Quantum Clocks and Moving Space

Authors: E.P.J. de Haas
Comments: recovered from sciprint.org

A theory of gravity based on quantum clocks and moving space is proposed. The theory is based on the hypothesis of the quantum clock equivalence principle (QCEP): it is impossible for a locally isolated observer to distinguish between a red-shift in a moving inertial frame of reference and a red-shift in a reference frame that is at rest in a field of gravity, if the red-shift is all the information he has. This allows us to formulate a time-dilatation measurement based definition of the speed of space in a gravity field. The QCEP is then used to predict the frequency shift of a quantum clock at rest in a g-field, moving in a closed circular orbit and in free fall. The cosmological and quantum gravitational possibilities of the QCEP hypothesis are shortly mentioned.

Biquaternion Formulation of Relativistic Tensor Dynamics

Authors: E.P.J. de Haas
Comments: recovered from sciprint.org

In this paper we show how relativistic tensor dynamics and relativistic electrodynamics can be formulated in a bi-quaternion tensor language. The treatment is restricted to mathematical physics, known facts as the Lorentz Force Law and the Lagrange Equation are presented in a relatively new formalism. The goal is to fuse anti-symmetric tensor dynamics, as used for example in relativistic electrodynamics, and symmetric tensor dynamics, as used for example in introductions to general relativity, into one single formalism: a specific kind of biquaternion tensor calculus.

A Remark on an Ansatz by M.W. Evans and the so-Called Einstein-Cartan-Evans Unified Field Theory

Authors: Friedrich W. Hehl
Comments: recovered from sciprint.org

M.W. Evans tried to relate the electromagnetic field strength to the torsion of a Riemann-Cartan spacetime. We show that this ansatz is untenable for at least two reasons: (i) Geometry: Torsion is related to the (external) translation group and cannot be linked to an internal group, like the U(1) group of electrodynamics. (ii) Electrodynamics: The electromagnetic field strength as a 2-form carries 6 independent components, whereas Evans� electromagnetic construct Fα is a vector-valued 2-form with 24 independent components. This doesn�t match. One of these reasons is already enough to disprove the ansatz of Evans.

From Van Der Waals Gas to CMBR Spectrum, Elementary Particles, and Lenr: a Hypothesis

Authors: V. Christianto
Comments: recovered from sciprint.org

In recent years there are some authors suggesting that the origin of dark energy, quintessence etc. can be related to Van der Waals force-type interaction at cosmic scale. [1][2][3] Interestingly, in this regards, this proposition also reminds us to Prof. Castro-Granik's idea sometime ago that if we indeed live in the Cantorian spacetime Universe [5], then the effect would be as if the Universe resembles a large Bose-Einstein condensate.
