Zero-point Fields, Gravitation and New Physics

Condensed Matter Physics as a Laboratory for Gravitation and Cosmology

The geometric language of General Relativity is not normally related to Condensed Matter (CM) Physics since it is the electromagnetic and not the gravitational interaction that dominates the physics of CM systems. What points in common would then CMP have with Cosmology and the dynamics of objects in a gravitational eld? There is at least one that is very important: topological defects formed i...

Physics of the Zero-point Field: Implications for Inertia, Gravitation and Mass

Previous studies of the physics of a classical electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) have implicated it as a possible basis for a number of quantum phenomena. Recent work implies that the ZPF may play an even more significant role as the source of inertia and gravitation of matter. Furthermore, this close link between electromagnetism and inertia suggests that it may be fruitful to investigate...

Did 20th century physics have the means to reveal the nature of inertia and gravitation?

At the beginning of the 20th century the classical electron theory (or, perhaps more appropriately, the classical electromagnetic mass theory) the first physical theory that dared ask the question of what inertia and mass were was gaining momentum and there were hopes that physics would be finally able to explain their origin. It is argued in this paper that if that promising research path had ...

meson physics in the gravitation field : a constraint on the equivalence principle

K 0 –K 0 oscillations are extremely sensitive to the K 0 and K 0 energy at rest. Even assuming m K 0 = m K 0 , the energy is not granted to be the same if gravitational effects on K 0 and K 0 slightly differ. We consider various gravitation fields present and, in particular, galactic fields, which provide a negligible acceleration, but relatively large gravitational potential energy. A constrai...
