Local and global gravity

Local and Global Gravity *

Our long experience with Newtonian potentials has inured us to the view that gravity only produces local effects. In this paper we challenge this quite deeply ingrained notion and explicitly identify some intrinsically global gravitational effects. In particular we show that the global cosmological Hubble flow can actually modify the motions of stars and gas within individual galaxies, and even...

Fasting and diabetes from a local and global perspective- commentary

  Fasting is a common practice among people with diabetes (PWD). As healthcare providers we are in a position to assist those who choose to fast to manage their diabetes effectively. Diabetes self-management education for PWD is needed both prior and during the time of fasting to best metabolic control.  

Gravity and global symmetries.

There exists a widely spread notion that gravitational effects can strongly violate global symmetries. If this is correct, it may lead to many important consequences. We will argue, in particular, that nonperturbative gravitational effects in the axion theory lead to a strong violation of CP invariance unless they are suppressed by an extremely small factor g <∼ 10−82. One could hope that this ...

Global and Local Attention Processing in Depressed Mood

Background: Attention impairments are the hallmark feature of subclinical depression. The present study used Navon task to compare the allocation of attention to the local and global stimuli in depressed and nondepressed participants. Method: The primary sample included 186 female high school students from Shiraz city who were selected using cluster sampl...
