We use exact results in a new approach to quantum gravity to show that the classical conclusion that a massive elementary point particle is a black hole is obviated by quantum loop effects. Further phenomenological implications are discussed.

After the recent devastating tsunami in southern Asia, I tried to find a simple way to present the physics of this phenomenon to students—in particular, the origin of the dispersion relation and the consequent wave properties. Being unable to locate a suitable source for a truly elementary approach, I developed the simple derivation presented here by extending to shallow-water waves a clever ca...

The S-domain of science, or the S-science, which still prevails, and will continue to produce prominent results and applications, has many problems at its knowledge frontiers. A part of these problems will be solved by the structural science itself, and new important discoveries will be also made in the frame of the S-science, but it is doubtful that it might solve very delicate and puzzling pr...

Dynamical models of inflation are given with composite inflatons by means of massive supersymmetric gauge theory. Nearly flat directions and stable massive ones in the potential are identified and slow-roll during inflation is examined. This kind of dynamical inflations may be ubiquitous in fundamental unified theory with supersymmetry, which should contain gauge theories for interactions of el...

The discrete symmetries P, C and T are discussed in terms of Lie algebra extensions of the Poincare Lie algebra. This formulation leads to certain problems of Lie algebra theory which will be presented in this and succeeding papers.

In this paper, I discuss whether superluminal particles exist in the general relativistic theory of gravity. It seems that the answer to this question is negative. In truth, the result may only represent a difficulty to special but not general relativity, the later allowing both Lorentzian and Euclidian metrics. An Euclidian metric does not restrict speed. Although only the Lorentzian metric is...

We present a new probabilistic model of compact commutative Lie groups that produces invariantequivariant and disentangled representations of data. To define the notion of disentangling, we borrow a fundamental principle from physics that is used to derive the elementary particles of a system from its symmetries. Our model employs a newfound Bayesian conjugacy relation that enables fully tracta...

We construct a minimal automaton for an output-incomplete Moore automaton. The approach is motivated by physical interpretation of seeing deterministic nite automata as models for elementary particles. When compared to some classical methods our minimal automaton is unique up to an isomorphism and preserves also the unde ned or unspeci ed behaviour of the original automaton.

Massless elementary-particle propagation is represented historically (cosmologically) through 3-scale “towers of quartet rings” within a lattice of magneto-electrodynamically communicating “pre-events”. The lightlike intervals within a ring of 4 pre-events (discrete “closed string”) display transverse GUT-scale and longitudinal “particle scale”. The lightlike (longitudinal) spacing between succ...
