The Parker Solar Probe May Shed Some Light on Light Itself

Authors: Peter Horst Rehm
Comments: 5 Pages.

As the Parker Solar Probe passes near the Sun at record-breaking speeds, it may experience a slight shifting of the images taken by its WISPR cameras because of Fizeau-like dragging in the optics. The probe was not designed to maximize this effect, so it might become noticeable only because of a grain of dust on one of the WISPR lenses. If the shifting is detected and found to be proportional to the probe’s speed relative to the Sun’s rotation, it would provide evidence that there is a medium for the propagation of light and that this medium rotates with the Sun.

Light Speed

Authors: Clark M. Thomas
Comments: 17 Pages.

It is not sufficient to simply correlate the vacuum speed of light. We must know why vacuum speed is always exactly what it is, and why this speed is the same everywhere. When we learn through the correct causal model we will open another door into the universe.

Hawking's Scientific Legacy

Authors: Clark M. Thomas
Comments: 7 Pages.

Stephen Hawking was a scientific and cultural star. As a man with extreme disabilities who maintained a sense of humor he inspired us all. As a physicist, he was woefully wrong on many occasions. This clear analysis examines his physics within the historical and personal context.

A Review of Ages in Stellar Metamorphosis

Authors: Roberto Jambon, Hunter Pearce
Comments: 7 Pages. Corrected statement about theory according to theory author's complaints about statement

Stellar Metamorphosis is the name given to a proposed alternative hypothesis for the origin and evolution of stars, planets, and all other celestial bodies. One of the most basic predictions of Stellar Metamorphosis is for the ages of celestial bodies. Since Stellar Metamorphosis rejects parts or even all knowledge of astronomical bodies as erroneous, this review focuses on internal checks of the hypothesis only. A number of internal inconsistencies are found. Contradictions in age results of up to 6,140% are found in Stellar Metamorphosis papers. Contradictions in Stellar Metamorphosis age measurement methods are also found, averaging 26,000% across all methods and surveyed objects.

Thermal Ionization in Stellar Cores Based on 3-dimensional Fermi Gas Model

Authors: Shiladittya Debnath
Comments: 5 Pages.

This paper examines the thermal ionization in the core of a main-sequence stable star, with an assumption that the main-sequence stellar core behaves like an ideal 3-Dimensional (D) Fermi gas. This assumption has been based on the fact that the stellar core persists as a region of very high temperature, typically in a range between 15 × 106K and density near 150 g cm−3,like that of our Sun where the classical gas description fails and Fermi-Dirac (F-D) distribution becomes important. Finally we compare our ionization equation with the Saha’s thermal ionization equation based on classical Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) distribution. The final non-relativistic mathematical calculation provides us with the result that the ionization fraction is exponentially proportional to the Fermi energy and has volume dependency, under the 3-D ideal Fermi gas consideration.

Dark Matter and the Cosmic Web

Authors: Gene H. Barbee
Comments: 29 Pages. My email is genebarbee@msn.com.

The cosmic web is a filament like structure that connects galaxies. It is imaged by gravitational lensing and is thought to be composed mainly of dark matter since it is very faint in the electromagnetic spectrum. There are computer simulations of the web showing that galaxies are often nodes for multiple branches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivymdduulFU . Conversely there are volumes in the sky that are relatively devoid of matter. However, cosmologists have long recognized that mass is uniform [18][21] at a scale much larger than the web. Scientists are trying to understand dark matter and dark energy [20]. The unexpected web like structure adds to a list of cosmology unknowns. The author studied mass accumulation [16] with an expansion model associated with energy values and relationships found in the proton model [Appendix 1]. WMAP [17][19] and later the PLANCK satellites measured cosmic background radiation anisotropy and concluded that there are scale invariant density variations on the order of d’/d=8e-6. The author used this data to predict mass accumulation in three primary levels of structure. It appears that stars, within galaxies within galaxy clusters all result from differential central mass related to measured density variations. Surrounding density is accelerated toward the central mass and densified by radius reduction that obeys a R*v^2=r*V^2 conservation law. Simulations presented agree with several observations including when stars light up, the orbital velocity of stars and Hubble’s constant [15]. This paper takes the simulations one step further by studying the shape of the structure. This paper provides a reasonable explanation for the cosmic web without assuming dark matter [8][12]. Falling mass develops a preferred orientation that changes the shape of the mass, lengthening it into filaments rather than spheres. This is like our atmosphere that forms tornados when there are density differences. In this case, the density difference is the central mass of the star volume. As mass falls toward the central density, it contracts and spins extending the filament outward from the central mass. Simulations of these structures extend between mass accumulating in adjacent areas and appear to be the feature being imaged as the cosmic web. A realistic looking simulation of a barred spiral galaxy is included.

Novel Explanation of the Active Galactic Nuclei: The Power Source of Quasars as a Result of Vacuum Polarization by the Gravitational Singularities on the Distributional BHs Horizon

Authors: Jaykov Foukzon, Elena R Men’kova, Alexander A Potápov
Comments: 19 Pages.

In this paper, we argue that the current paradigm for AGN and quasars essentially incomplete and rivision is needed. Remind that the current paradigm for AGN and quasars is that their radio emission is explained by synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons that are Doppler boosted through bulk motion. In this model, the intrinsic brightness temperatures cannot exceed 1011 to 1012 K. Typical Doppler boosting is expected to be able to raise this temperature by a factor of 10.The observed brightness temperature of the most compact structures in BL Lac, constrained by baselines longer than 5.3G, must indeed exceed 2 1013K and can reach as high as ~ 3 1014K.This is difficult to reconcile with current incoherent synchrotron emission models from relativistic electrons, requiring alternative models such as emission from relativistic protons.However the proton, as we know, is 1836 times heavier than an electron and absolutely huge energy is required to accelerated it to sublight speed.These alternative models such as emission from relativistic protons can be suported by semiclassical gravity effect finds its roots in the singular behavior of quantum fields on curved distributional spacetimes presented by rotating gravitational singularities.
