In this study, a rela- tionship is outlined through a series of steps, between the Einstein equations, the Ricci equations and the gravitational model of comoslogical bodies. This series of steps are then followed by the generation of a group of equations, in- cluding a supersymmetric equation which describes vorticity under the presence of an electromagnetic field for quantized systems. The relationship between the Einstein equations and the equation for quantum vorticity is ultimately the described and we outline the model of galactic vorticity through a nonlinear 1Please cite as: Manzetti Sergio and Alexander Trounev (2020).

Fjordforsk A/S - www.fjordforsk.no 1 cluster model, which has direct similarities to the Kosterlitz-Thouless model for vorticity in quasi-ordered systems. The resulting supersymmetric model for describing galactic vorticity we here show suggests that galactic vorticity broke symmetry already at T=0, and by the effect of the galactic halo around the periphery, generates nonlinear vorticity through the shear property of the wavefunction. Most interestingly, this property of the wavefunction, which gen- erates autonomous vorticity by the mere presence of a halo-boundary of the galactic cluster is independent of temperature. We describe by this that the nonlinear relationship between vortices in the cluster leads to a cumulative ef- fect which generates an exchange interaction at the macroscopic level between clusters which is the source of irregular moment of inertia of galaxies, that has been attributed to dark matter. Our theory is thus that galactic rotations are both fueled by the mass of the galaxy by classical physics means as well as the nonlinear vortex interaction between clusters. 2 Introduction Einstein's general theory of relativity is widely used in cosmology and astro- physics, including for modeling the motion of stars in galaxies. The problem of many bodies in the general theory of relativity was considered in [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5, 6] and others. It was shown in [7] that the field equations for empty space are sufficient to describe the motion of matter represented in the form of point singularities. Consequently, the motion of material particles repre- sented by the singularities of the gravitational field is one of the problems of the general theory of relativity. This approach uses only gravitational equations in empty space. As is known, to describe the motion of inert matter in the framework of the general relativity, Einstein and Infeld formulated the theory [8], where they declared that all attempts to represent matter by the energy- momentum tensor are unsatisfactory, and they want to free theory from the special choice of such a tensor. Therefore, theory [8] deals only with gravita- tional equations in empty space, and matter represented by singularities of the 2 gravitational field. Note that in the existing approaches to the description of black holes, the Schwarzschild metric [9] is widely used, which describes the singularity of the gravitational field, which is physically interpreted as the field of a particle of a given mass. In an alternative approach to the description of the motion of material bodies, the energy-momentum tensor is used [10, 4, 6] and [11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. However, in this case, the theory is surrounded by a large number of hypotheses related to the indeterminacy of the concept of matter, especially in light of recent discoveries in astrophysics, indicating a significant contribution of dark matter and dark energy to the dynamics of the expanding Universe [16]. Einstein's equations have the form [17, 18, 19, 20]: 1 8πG R − g R = g Λ + T (1) ik 2 ik ik c4 ik Here Rik; gik;Tik is the Ricci tensor, the metric tensor and the energy-momentum tensor;Λ; G; c - Einstein's cosmological constant, the gravitational constant and the speed of light, respectively. We put Λ = 0 suppose that due to the small in- fluence of this parameter in the problem of many bodies associated with galaxy dynamics. Solutions of Einstein's equations with axial symmetry were consid- ered in [2, 3, 5], [18, 19, 20, 21, 22] and others (a review of publications is given, for example, in [5], [19, 20, 21]). The metric of such spaces, under certain assumptions, can be reduced to ds2 = eµdt2 − e−µ(eν dρ2 + eν dz2) − e−µρ2dφ2 (2) Here µ(ρ, z); ν(ρ, z) are functions that satisfy Einstein's equations. Calculating the components of the Einstein tensor in the metric (2) and assuming for vacuum 1 Gik = Rik − 2 gikR = 0 we find the field equations: @2µ 1 @µ @2µ ! = + + = 0 (3) 1 @ρ2 ρ @ρ @z2 1 ! = ν − ρ(µ2 − µ2) = 0 (4) 2 ρ 2 ρ z !3 = νz − ρµρµz = 0 (5) 3 @2ν @2ν 1 ! = + + (µ2 + µ2) = 0 (6) 4 @ρ2 @z2 2 ρ z It can be verified that not all equations (3)-(6) are independent and that the following two relations are true [19] @! @µ @! ! = 2 + ρω + 3 (7) 4 @ρ 1 @ρ @z @µ @! @! ρω = 2 − 3 (8) 1 @z @z @ρ Therefore, we can choose, for example, the equations (3) and (6) as a system of equations for determining two functions µ(ρ, z); ν(ρ, z), we have @2µ 1 @µ @2µ + + = 0 (9) @ρ2 ρ @ρ @z2 @2ν @2ν 1 + + (µ2 + µ2) = 0; (10) @ρ2 @z2 2 ρ z indicating that !1 and !2 and !4 are linearly dependent, as also is !1 and !2 and !3. By solving the system of these linearly dependent equations (9) and (10), we can come to the determination of static gravity fields in the case of axial symmetry. Model (9), (10) has a unique expansion property in the theory of Ricci flows, which allows us to specify the motion in the system of N bodies. In this case, the gravitational potentials in the system of equations (9), (10) depend on time. To simulate a change in the metric during the movement of singularities, we use Ricci flows, which are described by the equation [23, 24, 25, 26] @g ik = D R (11) @t 0 ik Here D0 is the diffusion coefficient, which in the standard theory [23, 24, 25, 26] is assumed D0 = −2, however, in the metric (2), taking into account the signature, it should be put D0 = 2, then (9), (10) reduces to a system of parabolic equations: @µ @2µ 1 @µ @2µ eν−µ = + + (12) @t @ρ2 ρ @ρ @z2 4 @ν @2ν @2ν 1 eν−µ = + + (µ2 + µ2) (13) @t @ρ2 @z2 2 ρ z Comparing (12) (13) and (9), (10), we find that for steady flows under conditions µt = νt = 0, system (12)-(13) reduces to (9), (10). The justification for such a transition from the static system (9)- (10) to the parabolic system of equations (12)-(13) is similar to the theory developed in the following studies [23, 24, 25, 26] and others. For many practically important problems, such as the merging of black holes [1], it will be enough to know how the metric of the binary system changes (as spacetime is curved by two merging gravity sources) as the centers of gravity approach a given speed. The Ricci flow model (12)-(13) allows one to answer this and other questions related to a change in the metric. Consider the solutions of the system of equations (9), (10) of the form [5, 21] N X mj µ = − (14) p 2 2 j=1 ρ + (z − Lj) N 2 2 1 X mj ρ 1 X mjmk ν = − 2 2 2 − 2 fjk (15) 4 (ρ + (z − Lj) ) 2 (Lj − Lk) j=1 j6=k 2 Here f = p ρ +(z−Lpj )(z−Lk) − 1, m ;L are some constants. Note jk 2 2 2 2 j j ρ +(z−Lj ) ρ +(z−Lk) that expressions (14)-(15) differ in normalization from expressions given, for example, in [5] by virtue of the definition of metric (2). In the particular case, assuming in (14)-(15) that N = 2, we arrive at the expression of the potentials first obtained in [2]. In the particular case of three bodies, the potentials µ, ν were obtained in [3]. In the nonrelativistic case, the potential µ reduces to the expression µ = 2'=c2, where ' is the gravitational potential in Newton's theory of gravity. Since the point masses in metric (2) with potential (14) do not experience mutual displacement, although they should be attracted according to Newton's theory, the author of [2] draws the erroneous conclusion that Einstein's theory of relativity is not true.

Bronisław Średniawa * Scientific contacts of Polish physicists with Albert Einstein Abstract Scientific relations of Polish physicists, living in Poland and on emigration,with Albert Einstein, in the first half of 20th century are presented. Two Polish physicists, J. Laub and L. Infeld, were Einstein’s collaborators. The exchange of letters between M. Smoluchowski and Einstein contributed essentially to the solution of the problem of density fluctuations. S Loria, J. Kowalski, W. Natanson, M. Wolfke and L. Silberstein led scientific discussions with Einstein. Marie Skłodowska-Curie collaborated with Einstein in the Commission of Intelectual Cooperation of the Ligue of Nations. Einstein proposed scientific collaboration to M. Mathisson, but because of the breakout of the 2nd World War and Mathisson’s death their collaboration could not be realised. Contacts of Polish physicists with Einstein contributed to the development of relativity in Poland. (1) Introduction Many Polish physicists of older generation, who were active in Polish universities and abroad before the First World War or in the interwar period, had personal contacts with Einstein or exchanged letters with him. Contacts of Polish physicists with Einstein certainly inspired some Polish theoreticians to scientific work in relativity. These contacts encouraged also Polish physicists to make effort in the domain of popularization of relativity and of the progress of physics in the twenties and thirties. We can therefore say that the contacts of Polish physicists with Einstein contributed to the development of theoretical physics in Poland.

    ! Revising Space Time Geometry: A Proposal for a New Romance in Many Dimensions Renate Quehenberger* Quantum Cinema - a digital Vision (PEEK) Department of Mediatheory at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna August 25, 2012 Abstract The ontological positioning of our existence, deeply connected with the hierarchy problem concerning the dimensions of space and time, is one of the major problems for our understanding of the “ultimate” nature of reality. The resulting problem is that mathematical concepts that need so-called “extra-dimensions” have been widely disregarded owing to a lack of physical interpretation. This article reviews conventions, imaginations and assumptions about the non-imaginative by starting at the origins of the of 4D and 5D space-time concepts and proposing a new geometrical approach via a hyper- Euclidian path for a mentally accessible vision of continuous AND discrete complex space configuration in dimensions up to higher order. e-mail address: [email protected] 1 RCZ Quehenberger “Time and Space...

    “07desmet” i i 2011/6/5 page 287 i i Logique & Analyse 214 (2011), 287–315 PUTTING WHITEHEAD'S THEORY OF GRAVITATION IN ITS HISTORICAL CONTEXT RONNY DESMET Introduction Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) is known by many for his Principia Mathematica collaboration with Bertrand Russell, and by some for his later philosophical works. This paper, however, does not focus on the mathe- matics of his Cambridge period (1880–1910), nor on the metaphysics of his Harvard period (1924–1947), but on Whitehead's involvement with relativ- ity during the London period of his professional career (1910–1924). This involvement culminated in an alternative rendering of Albert Einstein's gen- eral relativistic theory of gravitation, outlined in a number of publications, most notably in his 1922 book, The Principle of Relativity with applications to Physical Science. If one ignores the broader British reception of Einstein's physics of rela- tivity, Whitehead's alternative appears to be a creation out of nothing, and just as incomprehensible. The aim of this paper is to put Whitehead's theory of gravitation in its historical context. Like most of his British contemporaries, Whitehead only got acquainted with Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity in the 1912–1914 time- frame, in Minkowski's format, and via the publications of, among others, Ebenezer Cunningham and Ludwik Silberstein, two men he also knew per- sonally. Whitehead wrote An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Natural Knowledge (1919) and The Concept of Nature (1920) with the aim of con- structing the special relativistic (Minkowksi's pseudo-Euclidean) space-time from the uniform spatio-temporal texture of our sense perception.

  • Lorentz Contraction Vs. Einstein Contraction. Reichenbach and the Philosophical Reception of Miller's Ether-Drift Experiments
    Lorentz Contraction vs. Einstein Contraction. Reichenbach and the Philosophical Reception of Miller’s Ether-Drift Experiments Marco Giovanelli Forum Scientiarum — Universität Tübingen, Doblerstrasse 33 72074 Tübingen, Germany [email protected] In 1925 Reichenbach, by reacting to the positive result of Miller’s ether-drift experiments, introduced a distinction between two types of rod contraction in special relativity: a kinematical ‘Einstein contraction,’ which depends on the definition of simultaneity, and a dynamical ‘Lorentz contraction.’ He argued that although both contractions happen to amount to the same Lorentz factor, they are conceptually different. In Reichenbach’s view, only the ‘Lorentz contraction’ is at stake in the Michelson-Morley experiment. The arm of Michelson’s interferometer is shorter than it would have been in classical mechanics in both Einstein and Lorentz’s theories. In both theories, the Lorentz contraction requires an atomistic explanation based on a yet-unknown theory of matter. This paper concludes that Reichenbach’s interpretation of special relativity shares features of the current neo-Lorentzian interpretations. Keywords: Hans Reichenbach • Lorentz Contraction • Special Relativity • Neo-Lorentzian Interpretation Introduction The aspect of Reichenbach’s interpretation of special relativity that has attracted the most attention is probably his famous conventionality of simultaneity—the freedom to choose which events are simultaneous in a given inertial frame depending on the value of the parameter . In a classical paper, David Malament (1977) has famously shown that one cannot allow such a freedom if one believes—as Reichenbach did—in the causal theory of time. Malament’s paper, the epitome of an influential work, has generated an enormous amount of discussion (cf.

Since the material for the BULLETIN is prepared far in advance of publication, however, the actual transition will be gradual. Material for the Febru­ ary number, in fact, and some of the material for still later numbers, had been gathered and to some extent arranged by the preceding editors. The new Committee of Publication, and their associated editors, enter upon their task with mixed feelings and with no better programme than to maintain the high record established in the past. To many it may seem surprising that no acknowledgment of the indebtedness of the Society to those who are now relinquishing control appears in the present number. This defect is explained essentially in the preceding paragraph. The present editor and his associates bespeak for the BULLETIN under their management the cordial support of contributors and of members of the Society, and forbearance for faults that are inevitable in new and inexperienced direction.

Fiorini Politecnico di Milano, Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB), Milano, Italy; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +039-02-2399-3350; Fax: +039-02-2399-3360. Published: Abstract: The "Science 2.0" paradigm has not yet been completely grasped by many contemporary scientific disciplines and current researchers, so that not all the implications of this big change have been realized hitherto, even less their related, vital applications. Thus, one of the key questions in understanding the quantum-classical transition is what happens to the superpositions as you go up that atoms-to-apple scale. Exactly when and how does "both/and" become "either/or"? As an example, we present and discuss the observer space-time splitting case. In other words, we discuss spacetime mapping to classical system additive representation with entropy generation. We argue that it is exactly at this point that "both/and" becomes "either/or" representation by usual Science 1.0 approach. CICT new awareness of a discrete HG (hyperbolic geometry) subspace (reciprocal space) of coded heterogeneous hyperbolic structures, underlying the familiar Q Euclidean (direct space) surface representation can open the way to holographic information geometry (HIG) to recover system lost coherence and to overall system entropy minimization. CICT can help us to develop strategies to gather much more reliable experimental information from single experimentation and to keep overall system information coherence. This paper is a relevant contribution towards an effective and convenient "Science 2.0" universal framework to develop more effective physics modeling and simulation for innovative application and beyond.

  • Relativity Does Not Require Spacetime Curvature Roger J Anderton [email protected]
    Relativity does not require Spacetime curvature Roger J Anderton [email protected] There was a great deal of criticism against Einstein’s relativity in its early days. Dingle eventually became a part of that criticism. Initially he was a supporter of Einstein’s relativity and eventually decided it was wrong. But Dingle was still a relativist. (Although some try to rewrite history that he was a relationist not relativist.) [1] Really Dingle had not learnt his relativity from Einstein. Dingle had learnt his relativity from a non-Einstein tradition of relativity; namely via Whitehead. That there was a second tradition of relativity besides Einstein was dealt with in my previous article. [2] There was an alternative relativity to Einstein’s involving many people, and in that relativity – spacetime curvature was not required. The relativity issue at present gets bogged down with people who cannot understand the basic idea of relativity that objects move relative to each other, when really the issue is that Einstein did not have a proper understanding of relativity. With them diverting the discussion onto their mental blindspot with relativity, we are diverted from the real issue. They are in a sense the reason why Einstein’s mistakes are still upheld, because they block proper discussion. So let’s now pick up the real issue- Ronny Desmet [3] informs us: “………Whitehead and Einstein discussed relativity is what Phillip Frank writes in his Einstein biography. According to Frank: “Whitehead had long discussions with Einstein and repeatedly attempted to convince him that on metaphysical grounds the attempt must be made to get along without the assumption of a curvature of space.

  • A Study Eclipsed by Confirmation Bias
    1 MIT Student Professors David Jones and David Kaiser STS.003: The Rise of Modern Science Final Paper, Option A: 8 December 2010 A Study Eclipsed by Confirmation Bias How does one become an overnight celebrity? It takes a theory of gravitation rivaling Newton’s and a solar eclipse. In 1919, when Sir Arthur Eddington reported that starlight had been deflected by the Sun’s gravity by an amount predicted by Albert Einstein’s general relativity after expeditions to Sobral and Principe, major international newspapers and scientific societies (The New York Times and the Royal Society, among others) congratulated Einstein.1 But Eddington’s methods were anything but a cause for celebration. Since he let his personal and political bias influence his work and took advantage of his experiment’s interpretability and his status in the scientific community, I argue that his case was one of scientific misconduct involving suppression of data and ipsedixitism. Eddington’s motivations to undertake the experiment were not hidden; he was already a supporter of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Eddington, a British astrophysicist and pacifist, performed this experiment wanting a victory for Einstein, a German physicist and pacifist, because he believed it would signify post-World War I political reconciliation between the UK and Germany.2 The rift between Allied and German scholars began when well-known German scientists like Max Planck signed the 1 Alan Lightman, “Relativity and the cosmos,” Nova (Jun 2005), available at http://pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/relativity (accessed 8 Dec 2010). 2 Daniel Kennefick, “Testing relativity from the 1919 eclipse—A question of bias,” Physics Today 62 (March 2009): 37–42, on 37.
