On Centrifugal Forces and Newton's Third Law of Mechanics

Authors: Antonio León Sánchez
Comments: 2 Pages.

This article presents two brief arguments regarding the reality of centrifugal forces: the first based on Newton’s Third Law of Mechanics, and the second on the Law of Dimensional Homogeneity. As a consequence, either centrifugal forces are real, or both the Law of Action and Reaction and the Law of Dimensional Homogeneity are not universal laws.

An Observational Study of Localized Optical Intensity Features Under Natural Environmental Conditions

Authors: Yelda Davran
Comments: 7 Pages. 4 figures (Note by viXra Admin: Author name is required in the article after the article title)

Although the particle nature of light has long been established through phenomena such as Compton scattering and double-slit experiments, there are relatively few reports of its direct observability under natural environmental conditions. In this work, we report a novel observational phenomenon suggestive of particle-like behavior of light occurring in a natural outdoor setting. The observations were conducted during the winter of 2020 in Ağrı, Türkiye, at an altitude of 1,640 m and ambient temperatures ranging between −10 °C and −20 °C. During afternoon hours, within deeply shadowed regions formed by surrounding buildings, bright, point-like micro-flashes resembling scattered water droplets were observed impinging on the ground and exhibiting multidirectional dispersion. These features were not detected in areas directly exposed to sunlight. It is suggested that the combination of extreme cold climatic conditions, reduced atmospheric pressure associated with high altitude, dark ground surfaces, and strong shadow—contrast conditions contributes to the enhanced visibility of particle-like optical effects. The observed micro-flashes are interpreted as a phenomenon in which localized light intensity features become macroscopically distinguishable under specific environmental conditions, representing a rare natural observational instance relevant to discussions of the wave—particle duality of light.

Analysis of Solution of Equations for Magnetic Field of Rotating Ball Using Polynomials

Authors: Sergey G. Fedosin
Comments: 62 Pages.

The exact form of the solution for the vector potential and magnetic field of a rotating uniformly charged ball is explicitly found. Expressions for specific vector spherical polynomials associated with the corresponding components of the potential are used to represent the solution. Inside and outside a charged ball uniformly rotating around its axis, the components of the potential and magnetic field are determined up to terms containing the sixth power of the speed of light in the denominator. To do this, it was necessary to use spherical coordinates and eight polynomials of each type. In addition, the solutions inside and outside the ball were equated to each other on the surface of the ball, taking into account the symmetry of the ball. The accuracy of the approach used can be increased, since it is determined only by the number of polynomials used, whose contribution to solutions decreases rapidly as the degree of the polynomials increases. To calculate the vector potential and magnetic field of a rotating ball within the framework of special relativity, it is sufficient to substitute the coordinates of the observation point, the invariant volumetric charge density, the angular velocity of rotation and the radius of the ball into the formulas.
