  • Supergravity and Its Legacy Prelude and the Play
    Supergravity and its Legacy Prelude and the Play Sergio FERRARA (CERN – LNF INFN) Celebrating Supegravity at 40 CERN, June 24 2016 S. Ferrara - CERN, 2016 1 Supergravity as carved on the Iconic Wall at the «Simons Center for Geometry and Physics», Stony Brook S. Ferrara - CERN, 2016 2 Prelude S. Ferrara - CERN, 2016 3 In the early 1970s I was a staff member at the Frascati National Laboratories of CNEN (then the National Nuclear Energy Agency), and with my colleagues Aurelio Grillo and Giorgio Parisi we were investigating, under the leadership of Raoul Gatto (later Professor at the University of Geneva) the consequences of the application of “Conformal Invariance” to Quantum Field Theory (QFT), stimulated by the ongoing Experiments at SLAC where an unexpected Bjorken Scaling was observed in inclusive electron- proton Cross sections, which was suggesting a larger space-time symmetry in processes dominated by short distance physics. In parallel with Alexander Polyakov, at the time in the Soviet Union, we formulated in those days Conformal invariant Operator Product Expansions (OPE) and proposed the “Conformal Bootstrap” as a non-perturbative approach to QFT. S. Ferrara - CERN, 2016 4 Conformal Invariance, OPEs and Conformal Bootstrap has become again a fashionable subject in recent times, because of the introduction of efficient new methods to solve the “Bootstrap Equations” (Riccardo Rattazzi, Slava Rychkov, Erik Tonni, Alessandro Vichi), and mostly because of their role in the AdS/CFT correspondence. The latter, pioneered by Juan Maldacena, Edward Witten, Steve Gubser, Igor Klebanov and Polyakov, can be regarded, to some extent, as one of the great legacies of higher dimensional Supergravity.

  • The Essence of Special Relativity and Its Influence on Science-Philosophy
    The Essence of Special Relativity and Its Influence on Science-Philosophy and Society Li Zifeng Li Tianjiang Wang Changjin Tian Xinmin Wang Zhaoyun ( Yanshan University, Hebei , Qinhuangdao 066004,China ) Abstract: This paper introduces nowadays status of special relativity in science and philosophy as well as society, reasons of special relativity becoming famous, three viewpoints on special relativity in academe, four attitudes of public on special relativity, comments of famous scientists on special relativity, periodicals and scientific meetings as well as networks studying questions on special relativity. This paper sums up argument focus on special relativity, analyzes the logic mistakes of special relativity, investigates the authenticities of validation and application of special relativity, and concludes that the essence of special relativity is a wrong logical inference embarking from the idealist standpoint, analyzes special relativity’s harms on science and philosophy as well as society. This paper advocates the materialism style of seeking truth from facts and the publication policy of a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, in order to liberate scientific research from imprisonment of special relativity. The views of space-time and mass-energy of idealistic special relativity should be abandoned and the views of space-time and mass-energy of materialism should be restored and developed. Key words: special relativity; essence; philosophy; science; society; influence; space-time view; mass-quality view The special relativity has been in a jewelly As one of the two important physics status since 1905.

Branches of Applied Physics Bardeen Feynmann 2016-03-05 What is Physics • Meaning of Physics (from Ancient Greek: φυσική (phusikḗ )) is knowledge of nature (from φύσις phúsis "nature"). • Physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. • Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia, physics was a part of natural philosophy along with chemistry, certain branches of mathematics, and biology, but during the scientific revolution in the 17th century, the natural sciences emerged as unique research programs in their own right. Physics intersects with many interdisciplinary areas of research, such as biophysics and quantum chemistry, and the boundaries of physics are not rigidly defined. • New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms of other sciences, while opening new avenues of research in areas such as mathematics and philosophy. 2016-03-05 What is Physics • Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies that arise from theoretical breakthroughs. • For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products that have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, and nuclear weapons; advances in thermodynamics led to the development of industrialization, and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.

Introduction It is a pleasure for me to contribute to Yuri Golfand’s memorial volume. I met Yuri several times during his occasional visits of Lebedev Institute in the 80’s. Two of our discussions in 1985 I remember quite vividly. Golfand found appealing the interpretation of string theory as a theory of ‘quantized coordinates’, viewing it as a generalization of some old ideas of noncommuting coordinates. In what should be an early spring of 1985 he read our JETP Letter [1] which was a brief Russian version of our approach with Fradkin [2] to string theory effective action based on representation of generating functional for string amplitudes as Polyakov string path integral with a covariant 2-d sigma model in the exponent.

    Newsletter of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission September-October,2002 Back to Main Chairman PAEC addresses 46th Regular Session of the IAEA General Conference Pakistan seeks IAEA cooperation to build more nuclear power plants There is a close relationship between peace, economic growth and technology. While deliberating upon relationship between technology and economic growth, the importance of energy can hardly be overemphasized. Pakistan's limited hydro and fossil fuel resources are not sufficient to cater for an ever increasing demand of energy. The nuclear option in our national energy strategy has taken a firm footing. This was stated by Mr. Parvez Butt, while addressing as the leader of the delegation from Pakistan to the 46th Regular Session of the IAEA General Conference, held at Vienna, Austria, from 16- 20 September, 2002. Excerpts from his address: "We are encouraged by the recent positive shift in attitude towards nuclear energy at the international level. The Agency's annual report for the year 2001 predicts even better prospects for nuclear power. We, in Pakistan, want to build more safeguarded nuclear power plants and seek the cooperation and assistance of the member states of IAEA. The construction and operation of nuclear power plant not only has direct economic advantage but creates thousands of job opportunities", he said. Pakistan fully supports the importance of International Project on Innovative Nuclear Re- actors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO) and the need for accelerating the activities in this regard. Pakistan is actively participating in IAEA's nuclear desalination project and working on the establishment of a demonstration nuclear desalination facility at our Karachi Nuclear Power Plant with the help of IAEA.

  • Black Holes, Neutrinos and Gravitational Proprieties of Antimatter
    Black holes, neutrinos and gravitational proprieties of antimatter Dragan Slavkov Hajdukovic CERN, CH-1211 Geneva 23 and Cetinje, Montenegro [email protected] Abstract The gravitational proprieties of antimatter are still a secret of nature. One outstanding possibility is that there is gravitational repulsion between matter and antimatter (in short we call it antigravity). We argue that in the case of antigravity, the collapse of a black hole doesn’t end with singularity and that deep inside the horizon, the gravitational field may be sufficiently strong to create (from the vacuum) neutrino-antineutrino pairs of all flavours. The created antineutrinos (neutrinos) should be violently ejected outside the horizon of a black hole composed from matter (antimatter). Our calculations suggest that both, the supermassive black hole in the centre of our Galaxy (Southern Sky) and in the centre of the Andromeda Galaxy (Northern Sky) may produce a flux of antineutrinos measurable with the new generation of the neutrino telescopes; like the IceCube Neutrino Detector under construction at the South Pole, and the future one cubic kilometre telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. A by the way result of our consideration, is a conjecture allowing determination of the absolute neutrino masses. In addition, we predict that in the case of microscopic black holes which may be eventually produced at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, their thermal (Hawking’s) radiation should be dominated by a non-thermal radiation caused by antigravity. 1. Introduction A huge majority of physicists thinks that particles and antiparticles (for instance protons and antiprotons) have the same acceleration in the gravitational field of the Earth.
