Abstract

I present estimates to justify previously proposed by me heuristic Dipole Dynamical Model (DDM) of Ball Lightning (BL). The movement and energy supplying to the dipole BL are due to the atmospheric electric field. Crucial for the detailed analysis of BL is using the new relation of balance of the force of atmospheric electric field (per unit mass of electron cloud) and dipole forces electrons-ions within BL dipole (per unit mass of BL) as the first necessary condition for the existance of BL as an integer. This model is unique because, unlike existing static models, fundamental condition for the existence of Ball Lightning is its forward motion. The virial theorem limiting BL power does not apply to BL which is not closed system like the Sun or Galaxy systems and is strongly dependent part of the infinitely extended in time and space large system. Stability of BL is due to two free parameters with the fundamental role of thermodynamic non-equilibrium, ionization, recombination and translational movement with energy loss by radiation and also excess volumetric positive charge. Stability of BL is not related to the presence of any external shells. Polarization degree of BL plasma is characterized by polarizability factor γ. An example is presented of calculating the stability of an option of BL. There is also a possible connection of stability BL with statistical distributions of the atmospheric electric field in time and space. Destruction of BL can also occur due to arising kinematical instability at its accelerating (or decelerating) movement. Maximal energy density in BL DDM does not exceed the value Espec<(10(8) - 10(9)) J/m(3) decreasing with the growing BL radius. Resulting indefinitely long BL lifetime is also discussed. BL has no outer shell and no any inner rigid or elastic microstructure elements.

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.
