Universal Constants as Manifestations of Relativity
We study the possible interpretation of the "universal constants" by the classification of J.-M. Lévy-Leblond. The Planck constant and the speed of...

Further Insights into Thermal Relativity Theory and Black Hole Thermodynamics
We continue to explore the consequences of Thermal Relativity Theory to the physics of black holes. The thermal analog of Lorentz transformations in...

The Relativity Principle of Classical Mechanics
In the last chapter, we have seen that classical mechanics no longer works if large velocities are involved. It must be replaced with a theory that...

Canonical Formulation of Embedding Gravity in a Form of General Relativity with Dark Matter
AbstractWe study embedding gravity, a modified theory of gravity in which our space-time is assumed to be a four-dimensional surface in flat...

(Selections from) The Main Ideas of the Theory of Relativity
It is very difficult to present the theory of relativity in simple terms without the aid of mathematical expressions and without relying on readers’...
-
A Quantum View of Photon Gravity: Implications of the Quantum Wave Model on General Relativity
Most of the previous experimental tests in support of general relativityGeneral relativity (GR) assumed that light has no gravitational...
-
Relativity and Quantum Entanglement
An absolute reference for space and time, in the matter and radiation of the Universe, and the fundamental interaction of gravity as the determining...

Scattering amplitudes and N-body post-Minkowskian Hamiltonians in general relativity and beyond
We present a general framework for calculating post-Minskowskian, classical, conservative Hamiltonians for N non-spinning bodies in general...

Adiabatic theory in Kerr spacetimes
We outline the essential features of the adiabatic theory and demonstrate how test particle motion in general relativity may be investigated using...

Eddington’s critical thoughts on general relativity: insights in the light of modern cosmology
The article recalls some of the critical remarks and thoughts of Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington on general relativity published by him in two...
-
Special Relativity I: The Basics
The formulation of special relativity by Albert Einstein in 1905 was based on a symmetry assumption, namely that the laws of physics must be the same...
-
Classical Tests of General Relativity
In this chapter the four classical tests of general relativity are discussed. These are the (i) deflection of light by a central mass—light bends...
-
Cosmic Relativity and Quantum Dynamics
Cosmic Relativity is an encompassing gravitational paradigm for all of dynamics and relativity. Since the physical effects in Cosmic Relativity are...
-
The influence of Penrose’s singularity theorem in general relativity
Penrose’s crucial contributions to General Relativity, symbolized by his 1965 singularity theorem, received (half of) the 2020 Nobel prize in...
-
Coordinates are Messy—Not Only in General Relativity
The coordinate freedom of General Relativity makes it challenging to find mathematically rigorous and physically sound definitions for physical...
-
Tests of General Relativity Using Black Hole X-ray Data
The theory of General Relativity has successfully passed a large number of observational tests. The theory has been extensively tested in the...
-
Special Relativity A
This is the central part of the book. Previous chapters introduced the principle of relativity, defined the notions of event, observer, and reference...
-
General relativity versus dark matter for rotating galaxies
A very general class of axially symmetric metrics in general relativity (GR) that includes rotations is used to discuss the dynamics of rotationally...
-
General Relativity from Poincare Breaking and Gauge Invariance
Quantum fields and gravity strike sparks off each other if gravity is emergent. In this talk, we show that Poincare breaking and gauge invariance...

Cosmological distances and Hubble tension in Einstein–Cartan theory
We analyze the measurement of cosmological distances in the presence of torsion in both Einstein–Cartan and Poincaré gauge theory of gravity. Using...
