Matter is the only substance that can provide objective existence in space and physical reality to an entity. All real entities are made of matter. Due to lack of a reference, we have no measuring scale to determine matter-contents of real objects. Instead one attribute of matter, mass, represents matter-contents of material objects. Mass, used for this purpose, is itself is often bifurcated into inertial mass, gravitational mass, etc. Inertial mass is measure of inertia, a property attributed to 3D matter-bodies. Gravitational mass is derived from magnitude of gravitational attraction, experienced by a macro body. However, importance accorded to mass (in place of matter-content of an object) caused matter to be regarded as an unnecessary entity even for existence of material bodies and encouraged developments of exotic theories and mysterious particles. Devising a logical measurement scale can help restore glory to matter, rightly due to it, as the only substance that can provide existence to all real objects.

We describe a simple experiment to validate the principle of light isotropy. The method is based on
measurement of the ratio between refractive indices of two different optical media by using a
collimated beam. The method exploits the speed-of-light dependence of light propagating at an angle
across optical interfaces. The experiment provides a means to test for light anisotropy with respect
to a preferred reference frame, for example, determined from measurements of the Cosmic Microwave
Background anisotropy. Presently, the operational management of the GPS system applies corrections
indicating the existence of a universal clock. Other researchers have identified evidence of altitude
dependence for the speed-of-light and other speed variation effects. These phenomena do not fully
comply with the definition of the inertial frame according to Special Relativity. Previous tests of
the speed of light may be categorized into one-way or two-way dependency tests. Two-way tests, such
as Michelson and Morley�s original experiment average a round trip velocity and, consequently, can
only provide limited bounds for some anisotropic effects. One-way tests, such as the experiment
described here, measuring the speed of light in a single direction may be designed with significantly
increased sensitivity to time-dependent variations in light propagation. They may also be designed to
be resilient to clock and wavelength variation errors. Our preliminary results indicate a time-dependent
variation of the speed of light that is not correlated with CMB anisotropy but is consistent with
anisotropy reported by other investigators. The identification of an absolute or preferred reference
frame would provide new experimental evidence that may constrain theories that seek to unify gravity
with the other fundamental forces or improve the standard model.

It is mentioned that in physics, much like in everyday life, we are
vitally interested in certain abstract concepts, such as, geometry,
number, time, or for that matter, monetary value. And contrary to usual
views, we can never ever really know what such abstract concepts are.
Instead, all that we may know are specic models of such concepts.
This state of aairs has direct relevance upon the long ongoing
disputes related to time in physics. In particular, the paper indicates the
exaggeration in claims according to which \time as an independent
concept has no place in physics".

The Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory (BSM-SG) is based on an
alternative space concept. The developed models provide a vision for the possible material
structure of the elementary particles and the superfine structure of the physical vacuum
called the Cosmic Lattice (CL). The properties of the CL elementary node and its interaction
with the elementary particles give clues to the connection between gravity and inertia on one
side and the electric and magnetic fields on the other. Mass appears to be not equivalent to
matter but its measurable parameter, so it could be changed by proper modulation of the parameters
of the physical vacuum. BSM-SG predicts an unique gravito-inertial effect which was verified
by experiments and was called Stimulated Anomalous Reaction of Gravity (SARG). It is activated
by a Heterodyne Resonance Method invoking Quantum Mechanical interactions between oscillating
ion-electron pairs and the space-time continuum.

Here is presented an estimating range of heights of tsunami which is assumed to attack
the coast after earthquake or something else. The height of tsunami is proved to be not
less than 20 meters. For the reason above, required height of seawall for protection
from Tsunami should be not less than 25 meters.
If tsunami overcome some suddenly rising the line of coast�s profile, such a giant wave
is proved to decrease a velocity, as well as suddenly increase height. It so called gradient
catastrophe in regard to the proper components of tsunami velocity (shock wave).
