Correlation of Aspects of Recent Drawings made by Physicists

Abstract

In this study recent drawings made by physics students are investigated. These drawings are part of reports made during experimenting. Aspects of drawings are chosen for investigation that are linked to basic physical notions like plasticity and spatiality. Also the aspects are required to link to the motor recognition experience during drawing, of the one who made the drawing. In this way the aim is to clarify the individual notions of space and time that are basic to performing the experiments. These are called the attitude with which the experiment is performed. Some aspects of these drawings tend to be correlated in several trends. Polanyi's theory of consciousness is generalised to explain why this correlation of aspects occurs. The correlation trends and attitudes can be related to each other. The results are presented in a schematic way to facilitate interpretation of the concepts introduced and of the correlation results.

Static Universe: Infinite, Eternal and Self-Sustainable

In this paper, we present a "stellar dynamics" model of an infinite Universe, where matter distribution follows an inverse proportionality squared relationship with respect to the distance from the rotation center of galaxy clusters and superclusters (which share a common rotation center). We assume the Universe has infinite similar centers in terms of structure and dynamic equilibrium. We consider stars in galaxies to be homogeneously distributed with spherical symmetry and average radius, and the same applies to galaxies in the Universe. We study the smoothed potential of this universe and examine the effect of gravity on starlight: by applying the equivalence principle, we derive a mathematical expression for Hubble's law and a formula for its redshift, potentially explaining this phenomenon as a gravitational effect. We also provide an approximate calculation of Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR), assuming this radiation is the light from all the universe's stars reaching us with an extreme redshift caused by gravity.

One-dimensional Coulomb Problem in GUP Formalism

We investigate the one-dimensional Coulomb problem on the positive half-line for a fourth-order Schrödinger equation generated by a commonly used realization of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). The problem is treated directly in position space by a higher-order Bethe--Ansatz construction, with the wave function represented as a polynomial multiplied by an exponential factor. The resulting residue conditions yield an analytic quantization condition and explicit polynomial solutions for the first three bound states. We identify the branch that is continuously connected to the ordinary Coulomb problem and show that its energies, decay constants, polynomial factors, and Bethe--Ansatz roots recover the ordinary half-line Coulomb results in the vanishing-deformation limit. On this Coulomb-connected branch, the deformation produces a lower admissibility bound on the principal quantum number, while arbitrarily high quantum numbers remain admissible. We also discuss the physical interpretation of the deformation strength: for ordinary microscopic systems, the weak-GUP regime is the conservative expectation in Planck-scale motivated models, whereas intermediate and strong regimes are primarily theoretical regimes in the present analysis. Since the differential equation is truncated at first order in the GUP parameter, quantitative predictions outside the weak-deformation regime should be interpreted with care.

Could the Fundamental Laws of Nature be Inferred Mathematically from Only Few Axioms?

The answer is "Yes". As it has been shown in the Ref.[1] (22 Sep.2017, see also the comments), useing a new definite mathematical axiomatic-algebraic matrix approach, all the fundamental laws of nature could be derived uniquely (where the axiom of "no zero divisors" of the ring of integers has been generilzed and written in a new definite formulation, then basically assuming that all the physical quantities could only and only take the rational values). Based on this new mathematical approach along with the C, P and T symmetries of the derived field equations, it is concluded that the universe could be realized solely with the (2+1) and (3+1)-dimensional space-times. Moreover it is shown that the (3+1) dimensional cases of the directly determined general covariant field equations (including two definite classes: a two indexes and a four indexes tensor fields), respectively, represent two new massive forms of the bispinor fields of spin-1and spin-2 particles; and the (2+1)-dimensional cases of the drived equations (including: a two indexes and a four indexes tensor fields), represent (asymptotically) two new massive forms of the bispinor fields of spin-3/2 and spin-1/2 particles, respectively. As a particular result, based on the formulation of the derived Electromagnetic Maxwell equations (representing by the bispinor fields of spin-1 particles, including new field equations - corresponding to the YangMills equations - compatible with two specified forms of the gauge symmetry groups), it has been concluded that magnetic monopoles could not exist in the nature to any extend. Furthermore, as the only elementary particles that could be existed in nature, along with the all discovered particles, eight new particles, including four charge-less right-handed spin-1/2 fermions (two leptons and two quarks), and a spin-3/2 fermion, and also three spin-1 massive bosons are also solely predicted.
