PARTICLES HERE AND BEYOND THE MIRROR
by Dmitri Rabounski and Larissa Borissova

Second edition, expanded by new chapters
Svenska fysikarkivet, Stockholm, 2008, 116 pages
ISBN 978-91-85917-03-7

This is a research on all kinds of particles, which could be conceivable in the space-time of General Relativity. In addition to mass-bearing particles and light-like particles, zero-particles are predicted: such particles can exist in a fully degenerate space-time region (zero-space). Zero-particles seems as standing light waves, which travel in instant (non-quantum teleportation of photons); they might be observed in a further development of the "stopped light experiment" which was first conducted in 2001, at Harvard, USA. The theoretical existence of two separate regions in the space-time is also shown, where the observable time flows into the future and into the past (our world and the mirror world). These regions are separated by a space-time membrane wherein the observable time stops. A few other certain problems are considered. It is shown, through Killing's equations, that geodesic motion of particles is a result of stationary geodesic rotation of the space which hosts them. Concerning the theory of gravitational wave detectors, it is shown that both free-mass detector and solid-body detector may register a gravitational wave only if such a detector bears an oscillation of the butt-ends.

EPPUR SI MUOVE
by Stefan Marinov

Fourth edition, expanded by foreword and comments
Svenska fysikarkivet, Stockholm, 2008, 200 pages
ISBN 978-91-85917-02-0

Download: coming soon

This is a 4th (posthumous) edition of Marinov's book, augmented with new experimental data and a biographical essay about the author. Stefan Marinov (1931-1997), an experimental and theoretical physicist, who invented a new and highly original method (the "coupled shutters" experiment) to measure the anisotropy in the distribution of the observable velocity of light which is due to the carrying of a light beam by the motion of the space of the Earth itself, despite the world-invariant of the velocity of light is still remaining constant. This book, originally peer reviewed and prefaced by Andrew D. Sakharov (1977), contains a detailed description of the experiment along with many other experiments, and also an updated version of Marinov's treatment of relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics.

SPIN-CURVATURE AND THE UNIFICATION OF FIELDS IN A TWISTED SPACE
by Indranu Suhendro

Svenska fysikarkivet, Stockholm, 2008, 78 pages
ISBN 978-91-85917-01-3

Download: 1.8Mb PDF

The book draws theoretical findings for spin-curvature and the unification of fields in a twisted space. A space twist, represented through the appropriate formalism, is related to the anti-symmetric metric tensor. Kaluza's theory is extended and given an appropriate integrability condition. Both matter the isotropic electromagnetic field are geometrized through common field equations: trace-free field equations giving the energy-momentum tensor for such an electromagnetic field solely via the (generalized) Ricci curvature tensor and scalar are obtained. In the absence of electromagnetic fields the theory goes to Einstein's 1928 theory of distant parallelism where only matter field is geometrized (through the twist of space-time). The above results in common with respective wave equations are joined into a "unified field theory of semi-classical gravoelectrodynamics".

A REVISED ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY WITH FUNDAMENTAL APPLICATIONS
by Bo Lehnert

There are important areas within which the conventional electromagnetic theory of Maxwell's equations and its combination with quantum mechanics does not provide fully adequate descriptions of physical reality. As earlier pointed out by Feynman, these difficulties are not removed by and are not directly associated with quantum mechanics. Instead the analysis has to become modified in the form of revised quantum electrodynamics, for instance as described in this book by a Lorentz and gauge invariant theory. The latter is based on a nonzero electric charge density and electric field divergence in the vacuum state, as supported by the quantum mechanical vacuum fluctuations of the zero-point energy. This theory leads to new solutions of a number of fundamental problems, with their applications to leptons and photon physics. They include a model of the electron with its point-charge-like nature, the associated self-energy, the radial force balance in presence of its self-charge, and the quantized minimum value of the free elementary charge. Further there are applications on the individual photon and on light beams, in respect to the angular momentum, the spatially limited geometry with an associated needle-like radiation, and the wave-particle nature in the photoelectric effect and in two-slit experiments.

This book was written in 1944 by Abraham Zelmanov (1913-1987), a prominent scientist working in General Relativity and cosmology. Herein he constructs the theory of physical observable quantities in General Relativity (chronometric invariants), and applies it to determine the whole range of cosmological models which could be theoretically conceivable within the framework of Einstein's theory.
