From Timeless Physical Theory to Timelessness
This paper addresses the extent to which both Julian Barbour‘s Machian formulation of general relativity and his interpretation of canonical quantum gravity can be called timeless. We differentiate two types of timelessness in Barbour‘s (1994a, 1994b and 1999c). We argue that Barbour‘s metaphysical contention that ours is a timeless world is crucially lacking an account of the essential feature...
متن کاملOn the Machian Origin of Inertia
Abstract We examine Sciama’s inertia theory; we conclude that Berman(2006), while considering the Machian conjecture that the Universe is endowed with zero-total energy, is equivalent to Sciama’s approach. We determine the numerical value of a constant which appears in the Machian inertial force expression devised by Graneau and Graneau[2]. We point out that this formula may be not restricted t...
متن کاملThe Pioneer Anomaly and a Machian Universe
Abstract We discuss astronomical and astrophysical evidence, which we relate to the principle of zero-total energy of the Universe, that imply several relations among the mass M , the radius R and the angular momentum L of a ”large” sphere representing a Machian Universe. By calculating the angular speed, we find a peculiar centripetal acceleration for the Universe. This is an ubiquituous prope...
متن کاملUniqueness of the Machian Solution in the Brans-Dicke Theory
Machian solutions of which the scalar field exhibits the asymptotic behavior φ = O(ρ/ω) are generally explored for the homogeneous and isotropic universe in the Brans-Dicke theory. It is shown that the Machian solution is unique for the closed and the open space. Such a solution is restricted to one that satisfies the relation GM/c2a = const, which is fixed to π in the theory for the closed mod...
متن کاملEvaluation of New MOND Interpolating Function with Rotation Curves of Galaxies
The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry,...
