About the twin paradox

Quantization is a wave effect

Abstract: In this paper we propose a new approach concerning the existence and propagation of matter and radiation in vacuum. By considering the possible existence of scalar inhomogeneous standing waves in vacuum, we were able to derive Maxwell's equations and Lorentz force laws from first principles

In this paper, we will review classical electrodynamics, where our main concern will be exclusively the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the vacuum and the interaction of these waves with free charges. We will examine the reasons why the classical Maxwell's equations are not complete and consistent. We will show that there are three kinds of...

In this paper,we review the one capacitor problem with a new approach. We will study how to minimize the energy transfer between the power supply and the capacitor by choosing a voltage with a specific time behavior. We will introduce a new stepping method to charge a capacitor that almost cancel the resistive losses. We will for the first time exp...

In this paper, we examine the difference between Newtonian and Galilean mechanics. We show that both the relativity and covariance principles result from the negation of Newton's third principle in Galilean mechanics. We show that Galilean mechanics can be reconciled with Newtonian mechanics only if the rest reference frame has an infinite mass whi...

We show in this paper that the velocity of a charged particle cannot be taken as an independent variable as done in Euler-Lagrange calculation if we take into account the relativistic behaviour of the particle.

The Lorentz forces exerted by freely moving charges upon one another are not equal and opposite because the Lorentz force does not obey Newton's third principle, contrary to the Ampère force, which follows this principle. As a result, a pair of charged particles in relative motion can change its state of motion without external help. We review past...

The basic aim of the 1903 Trouton-Noble experiment was to detect an absolute motion of the Earth through the ether. The experiment presented in this paper is a replication of the Trouton-Noble experiment done with present technology, free from previous imperfections. Contrary to previous results, a positive result has been observed since the sensit...

Within the scope of this particular chapter, the author investigates differential topology, with the understanding that this discipline aims at studying both the classification of surfaces and the problems usually associated with knots. Specifically, the author first investigates topology in classical physics (i.e., classical electromagnetism, quan...

The authors review the concept of inhomogeneous waves and complete the work done by previous authors. By considering the propagation of an inhomogeneous wave they were able to derive a system of equations which couple Maxwell and potential equations in two different manners and show the importance of the telegrapher's equation with Heaviside's cond...

There are in the literature many reports concerning experiments showing that conductors submitted to high voltage or with high currents passing trough them are moving without the help of an external observer. By using Newtonian mechanics and the application of Newton's third law, we are able to explain this motion or propulsion effect either as res...

The Trouton and Noble experiment, which was initially performed (and fiascoed) in 1903, has only been questioned recently. When correctly performed, this very simple electrostatic ætherdrift experiment gives unambiguous positive results: a suspended, parallel-plate capacitor charged at high voltage by means of lateral feeding wires exhibits a stimu...

In their original little-known ether drift experiment, Trouton and Noble predicted the existence, and thus observability, of a torque of a suspended, charged capacitor to demonstrate the motion of the Earth through a physically real ether. Later, their experimental device was found to be incorrectly designed, thus explaining why this experiment and...

At the turn of the 20th century, Frederick T. Trouton and Henry R. Noble (TN) performed a little known æther drift experiment which came to be known as the electrostatic analogue of Michelson-Morley’s famous experiment. If the æther were real, they said, a capacitor charged with “high” voltage should exhibit a “jerk” and a subsequent “spontaneous”...

The author reviews the equivalence, or the difference, of the two possible force laws in magnetostatics for interacting particles: namely the Ampere and Lorentz force laws. He shows that these two laws are mathematically different and physically correct since they apply to two different systems: the former must be used for a closed system and the l...

We review the application of Newton's third law in all branches of physics, namely: special relativity, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, circuit and antenna theory. Until now, there is no experimental evidence showing that Newton's third law has ever been violated in classical physics. However, in both classical physics and in special relativit...

In this paper we review several experiments, including the Michelson-Morley experiment, in order to show that contrary to the usual textbook presentation of special relativity all these experiments are consistent with the existence of a randomly fluctuating stationary ether. We also show that the time difference between a rotated clock and an inert...

A b s t r a c t : Contrary to common belief, a wave packet can propagate without spreading in a dispersive and dissipative medium in the case of a linear theory. In this paper, we review the concept of wave packet as a model for material particles and show how a wave packet can accelerate without changing its shape. The conditions to be satisfied b...

Boson Journal of Modern Physics How to minimize energy loss during an energy transfer between a source and a receiver In this paper, we review the problem of charging a capacitor with a new approach. We will study how to minimize the energy transfer between the power supply and the capacitor by choosing a voltage with a specific time behavior. We...

We review the twin paradox from a theoretical and experimental point of view in the cases of rectilinear and rotational motions and we comment on the interpretation of the Hafele and Keating experiment.

A pseudospectral numerical scheme is developed in order to calculate the propagation of a shock wave. We use a two-step time-differencing method and a Chebyshev transform method to compute the space derivative. Such a scheme has been used to reduce the oscillations due to Gibb's phenomenon. This numerical method is applied to the solution of the Bu...

The cylindrical plasma expansion in a axially symmetric magnetic field is calculated with a magnetohydrodynamic code described herein.The hydrodynamic and electromagnetic variables are decoupled and computed separately with explicit methods.A two step Lax-Wendroff method is used for the hydrodynamic equations and a splitting technique applied to th...

An asymptotic expansion of integrals containing an exponential integrand with a large parameter can be obtained by the well-known saddle point method. For integrands further containing Hankel functions a numerical double saddle point method is described herein, allowing the numerical computation of these integrals without using an asymptotic expans...

This paper deals with the numerical computation of the Hankel transform. Different methods of calculating this transform are presented with computer times and limitations on calculation for each method.

A method of phase measurement of electromagnetic field components produced by dipoles on a stratified conducting half‐space is described. A symmetric process with a high frequency transmitter and two high frequency receivers is used in order to get a phase reference. This method has been applied to the measurement of the phase of the component E θ...

The special relativity theory (SRT) derives mass-increase m = °m0 with velocity as a consequence of a time dilation effect dt = °dt0 between two inertial frames of reference (IFR). This is an untenable result, since if one forbids an inertial frame of reference to accelerate or to rotate, the kinematic gamma factor defining the mass-increase with v...
