🔭 Recommendation: “Doppler vs. Kepler” by Steven Sesselmann
As someone who has spent a lot of time thinking about the role of potential, reference frames, and how we observemotion in the universe, I found Steven Sesselmann’s paper “Doppler vs. Kepler” to be a breath of fresh air.
Rather than accepting the longstanding mystery of “flat galaxy rotation curves” as a call for dark matter or modified gravity, Steven steps back and asks a simpler question:
Are we interpreting the measurements correctly?
This paper:
- Clearly outlines the difference between Doppler-based observations (line-of-sight velocity) and Keplerian motion (inferred from a fixed celestial sphere),
- Points out the mismatch in fiducial reference points that could explain the discrepancy,
- Shows how a simple sign correction, with no new physics, produces rotation curves that match observation,
- All while staying within classical Newtonian dynamics.
It’s the kind of elegant, intuitive thinking that makes you pause and say:
“Wait… why aren’t more people talking about this?”
If you’re curious about galaxy dynamics, observational bias, or the power of questioning the frame itself — I strongly recommend giving this short but sharp paper a read.
It doesn’t require complex math or exotic matter — just a willingness to look at the sky with fresh eyes.
🧠 Steven’s work deserves more attention.

We assume that the accepted definition of a quantum particle is one subject to Schrödinger dynamics as opposed to Newtonian dynamics.
This implies some limitation on the size or volume of the quantum particle V.
In other words there exists a critical volume Vc where if V<< Vc the particle obeys quantum dynamics and for V >> Vc the particle is subject to Newtonian classical mechanics.
The question arises: is there an accepted estimate of the critical size Vc?
My position about Mach's Principle is that it is unsupported and refuted by optical and gravitational detection of Neutron Star Collisions.
I identified the only support (Celestial Dynamics within the Solar System requires instantaneous positions to be used in the force calculation) as being the result of using the wrong (empirical Newton's Law of Gravitation) law.
This shouldn't come up as a surprise to anyone since we all know that Newton's Law failed to predict the right Mercury Perihelion Precession Rate.
Of course, nobody can use Einstein's equations for a multi-planet dynamical simulation.
My theory - the Hypergeometrical Universe Theory (HU) provides a trivial replacement for Newtonian Dynamics and Einstein's General Relativity.
In fact, HU fully replaces General and Special Relativity.
IN SUMMARY
To call a theory Machian is a bad thing.
Dear Sirs,
Everyone knows the derivation of Lorentz transformations from electromagnetic wave front propagation. But Lorentz transformations are the basis of the general mechanics theory. It seems to me it is logically correct to derive the transformations from purely mechanical grounds. But how to do this? Mechanical (sound) waves are not of course applicable here. Or there is only purely mathematical approach? I The later is also not good in physics. Could it be derived from gravitational wave propagation? If it is so is there any controversy because General relativity is based on special relativity? I would be grateful for your suggestions.
I have been contacted by a famous French journalist who wants to interview me for a French radio program (on Sud Radio) about my preprint on the Mamoudou Gassama affair:
Preprint The Mamoudou Gassama Affair
Since no scientific journal would accept to publish my preprint because of the political dimension of the affair (involving French President Emmanuel Macron), the journalist would like to find scientists, not closely related to me, who would accept to testify that my analysis is scientifically sound. He is not asking for people to testify that what I suggest is really what happened, but just to testify that my analysis makes sense.
Let me know if you are interested, and I will send you the contact information for sending your testimony.
I have a solid model and i wanna set own coordinate for golbal because i have problem with gravity , adams set gravity in y axis but i wanna gravity in z axis, what should i do?
I've heard some researchers say Newton's second law of motion if to be tested near the earth surface could possibly fail. But what is the glitch of the Newtonian dynamics, possibly for a falling object near the earth surface? Why could this experiment show the drawbacks of Newtonian dynamics/gravity? How could this experiment lead us to conclude Newtonian dynamics needs revision? Kind Regards.
Bonnor and Bondi suggest that GR predicts antigravitational interactions between negative masses. Jame Farnes points out that Newtonian mechanics suggest the same. But in electromagnetism interactions, same particles sign results in the same interaction, and only different signs behave different. Why choose one insted of the other?
Dear researchers,
Power law model is one of the simplest models for non-Newton fluids. There are two constants i.e. " n and k" in this model. the more the n is lower than 1, the more the fluid shows shear thinning behavior. But what is the meaning of the very low (=5) or very high (=2300) amount for "k" in this model?
Could you please help me?
Best regards

I have done some simple experiment s to know the feasibility of it.
For more detail see my Experiment finding"free energy using gravity power and balanced seesaw".
I have consulted with many experts but all are confused and silent.
Dear Sirs,
I would like to find out more precisely whether the 2nd Newton law is valid or not in wide range of masses, accelerations, forces. Particulary I have a question whether the inertial property of body (inertial mass) is able to stop the body for small external forces or not. I have found in the Internet the fresh articles with tests of the 2nd Newton law for small accelerations (10^-10), small forces (10^-13) and SMALL masses (about 1 kg). The articles deal with the question of dark matter and MOND theory in astrophysics.
But I am interested in BIG masses. Could the test be carried out in planetary scale? Maybe for the Moon or asteroids? Or for masses like 1000 kg? Thank you very much for any references.
Your Galaxy formation project could benefit from the Initial Hyperspherical Seeding (occurred during the Neutronium phase) from the correct Keplerian Dynamics.
The information about the seeding is stochastic driven by a deterministic hyperspherical acoustic oscillation.
The correction to Newtonian Dynamics refers to the new Hypergeometrical Force - a constraint force due to our Universe being a hypersurface.
Please, feel free to ask questions.
can anybody explain what is erik verlinde's emergent gravity in a layman words rather than giving links?
The derivation of orbital velocity is presumably well understood. One method is to set the centripetal force equal to the gravitational force and solve for v.
Mv^2/r = GMm/r^2
for which orbital velocity becomes v = sqrt(GM/r)
Now let's assume we have a spacecraft in stable orbit around a body at some distance r(1) and want to move the craft to a higher orbit r(2), to do this it must fire it's engines, i.e. accelerate the craft (a) for some time (t), and presumably increase its velocity as ∆v = at, however Newtonian theory tells us that the velocity has indeed decreased as r(2) is larger than r(1).
So I would like to know what kind of Hokus Pokus is normally applied to explain this problem.
This is from my book "unique perceptions on Physics", this expects that there is serious errors in the concepts of "equivalence principle" which in terms of GR is not accommodated by the sense of tidal effect with respect to individual falling mass from point to point variance in gravity, there are a lots of reference in this regard but probably not for two mass reference. But the result below not just manifest the usual discrepancy rather a new version taken with respect to relative acceleration between two such different masses which is constant actually, not the usual way of individual referenced mass. Do you agree that this ultimately question on foundation of GR?

Convection currents is a fairly accepted idea as far as the deriving mechanism of plate tectonics is concerned, what are the latest developments about the deriving mechanism?
My theory gives a solve to gravity and the rest of forces on the universe. Only can be a unificated theory of everything.
At this point this is in draft so there may be many questions and are welcome.

We know velocity is a parameter defining dynamics; however, inertia is a property that defines statics. From mathematical physics point of view, is it possible to analyze velocity and the inertia in the platform of matrix space metrics?
Recent surveys show that stars tend to form in pairs: https://phys.org/news/2017-06-evidence-stars-born-pairs.html.
It seems that there should be a very simple explanation for this: in a gas cloud with effectively zero angular momentum, a spinning star can form only if simultaneously another object is formed with opposite angular momentum. Otherwise, angular momentum would not be conserved. Of course, rotational angular momentum and orbital angular momentum of the whole system would be conserved.
The group MG/r occurring in an equation indicates that action at a distance is being described. Newton realized that something unknown must be operating on a smaller scale, but had no tools to explore it. Einstein offered geometry of curvature which can be expressed locally. but G/c2 remained invariant in General Relativity as shown in the integration of functions.
Einstein offered a variable scalar light speed when gravity must be considered.
c/co = ( 1 - 2MG/rc2)
Suggesting
G/Go = ( 1 - 2MG/rc2)2
By applying equivalence principle for mechanical acceleration and making r very large
c/co = ( 1 + v2/c2)
which is just a case of invariant h Planck's constant, but results in G/c2 that decreases very slightly with increasing speed. Then one possibility of G is given,
G/Go = ( 1 + v2/c2)2
but this result is not in agreement with Vacuum Partition theory.
General relativity seems to be over constrained except in the low energy case.
Einstein's ( c/co = ( 1 - 2MG/rc2) ) is not exactly compatible with invariant (G/c2).
How Is Large Scale Gravity G Expressed In Local Properties Of Space?
If what I am thinking is right, then Energy should be the fundamental dimension in physics, not Time
I looked at energy conservation in e.g. a pipe, assuming internal energy proportional to temperature. Then with the ideal gas law, the static solution is a mode shape, with wavelength depending on density, heat flux factor and the chemical constant in the gas law. (Invoking convective terms but not time dependency, a velocity gives damping or the opposite.)
If including time dependency, these are transients multiplied on the mode shape(which now also dep on a new constant). If the physics is such that heating at one side, this will change the boundary condition, f.i. with a time dependency, but that cannot be modelled with the exact solution. Is there something missing? If I did a weak formulation and FE, or CFD there would be solutions, because linear, and these will be the transient solutions probably(?). But exact traveling waves appear more physical, but are such solutions to the temperature field in CFD?
Is it possible to derive the wave equation from continuum mechanics, and then use the ideal gas law, to express it in temperature? I did something like that years ago, but cannot recall how.
Do you think that the energy-momentum tensor of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics should be invariant under parity transformation?
In general, the principle or relativity may be stated as the independency of a law from the observers. By an observer we mean that a system which is competent to verify the law. The law may belong to any subject.
As an example, the special relativistic formulation of the law governing the portfolio risk of two security case has bee discussed in 'Role of the principle of relativity.
Usually, to get a non-relativistic approximation of the Dirac equation we introduce the momentum as i times the derivative of the field and require small momenta; however, this way is valid strictly speaking only for plane waves: is there a similar procedure that is not restricted to these systems, and therefore not base on any definition of momentum?
In cosmology, the volume of the expanding universe plays the role of the time parameter. It has been noticed that the volume itself is quantized by the loop quantum gravity that given the meaning of the universe takes place in the discrete time interval.
Are there any experiments going on to verify the validity of string theory to study theoretical particle physics?

Contrary to classical electrodynamics, the electron does not radiate when it orbits the nucleus in stationary orbits. This inconsistency may be the result of the use of Coulomb potential to describe the dynamics of a hydrogen-like atom. In order to resolve this problem we need a potential that can produce a zero net force when the electron moves in stationary orbits. It can be shown that general relativity can be used to modify the Coulomb potential in this case. Please refer to my works A TEMPORAL DYNAMICS: A GENERALISED NEWTONIAN AND WAVE MECHANICS and ON THE STATIONARY ORBITS OF A HYDROGEN-LIKE ATOM on RG for more details.
In fact, it is possible to show that a classical potential is directly related to a geometric object which is the Ricci scalar curvature and the Schrodinger wavefunctions are simply mathematical objects that can be used to construct spacetime structures of quantum particles. For this new development, please refer to my works SPACETIME STRUCTURES OF QUANTUM PARTICLES and A DERIVATION OF THE RICCI FLOW for more details.

for the dynamic analysis of parallel manipulator lots of method such as newton euler, lagrangian based ,Kanes method ,natural orthogonal complement method and Gibbs Appell (GA)method are there. Among them the GA method are based on acceleration energy of particles based. i want to derive equation of motion based on GA method.kindly suggest some reference based on GA method
There are many indications that this is the case today, with the added advantage that Newton's laws can then be derived rather than proposed. For example, consider this quote from Benjamin Crowell [1]:
In many subfields of physics these days, it is possible to read an entire issue of a journal without ever encountering an equation involving force or a reference to Newton's laws of motion. In the last hundred and fifty years, an entirely different framework has been developed for physics, based on conservation laws.
The new approach is not just preferred because it is in fashion. It applies inside an atom or near a black hole, where Newton's laws do not. Even in everyday situations the new approach can be superior. We have already seen how perpetual motion machines could be designed that were too complex to be easily debunked by Newton's laws. The beauty of conservation laws is that they tell us something must remain the same, regardless of the complexity of the process.

Quantum systems introduce angular momentum in very particular ways involving vorticity or irrotational waves near the boundaries. This is in complete contrast with classical gases where internal vorticity has none of the volume excluding energy cost of quantum gases. We are generally weak at all aspects of the classical-quantum transition. Gases seem like a great place to explore this, nevertheless, most research on them uses fitting to classical hydro or GP type equations outside the domain of their known validity.
Gravitation
Delta\tau_g = \frac{g}{c^2} \sum_{i=1}^{k} (h_i - h_0) \Delta t_i
How the difference between 0m and 5000m on Earth should be today (after for example 4.5 billion years):
\Delta\tau_g = \frac{~10}{9*10^{16}} (5000m - 0m) 4.5*10^9 years = 21.9 hours
Following the theory, shouldn't we see a difference of 21.9 hours between two picture of the sky taken at 0m and 5000m?

In generalized newtonian flow, i choose the power law and arrhenius law model for shear rate and temperature dependence of viscosity. The value of power law index is 0.25, so i must define an evolution function.
Though i define f(s)=1/s for the evolution function and Picard iteration for interpolation, the problem can't converge.
Metal-like gravity modifies Newtonian dynamics and provides a viable cosmological dynamics. It provides a physical system that explains the success of MOND theory. The physical system also can pave the path for a possible Quantum Field theory. It however apparently runs against GR, only if GR doesn't require a positive energy theorem as a pillar since negative energy/mass can be safely embedded in Einstein's equation and mathematically viable. Also, the apparent contradiction to the Equivalence Principle may be worked out.
Model material points cannot be used for describing the motion of macroscopic bodies.
The derivation of the equations of continuum mechanics based on the use of limit theorems, in which the size of the domain (of a elementary volume) tends to zero, which allows the movement of the domain to describe by second law of Newton. However, the material point can not serve as a model of a domain (elementary volume) as part of a macroscopic body with its properties: any macro body consists of a large number of randomly moving structural elements (constituent particle). This suggests that the existing equations of continuum mechanics can not reflect the basic properties of real bodies.

It seems Hamiltonian systems handle conservative systems because of invariant Hamiltonian and Lagrangian mechanics does so for it is equivalent to Hamiltonian mechanics. Is there anything a like incorporating dissipative forces such as friction or damping?
I would suppose that I am missing something since this topic is not in my field; regardless, my question is if a particle was accelerated over the Planck length in one Planck time would the result be the maximum theoretical acceleration of a particle? Is it completely unreasonable to use the Newtonian motion equations to solve for it?
Does Newtonian Gravity has an independent existence in General Relativity, other than static weak field approximation of Einstein's gravity?
