Gamma Ray Astronomy: Implications for Fundamental Physics
Gamma Ray Astronomy studies cosmic accelerators through their electromagnetic radiation in the energy range between ∼100 MeV and ∼100 TeV. The present most sensitive observations in this energy band are performed, from space, by the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi satellite and, from Earth, by the Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes MAGIC, H.E.S.S. and VERITAS. These instruments have revolu...
متن کاملFundamental Disagreement of Wave Mechanics with Relativity
(This work has been copyrighted with the Library of Congress) A number of well-known difficulties in physics resulted from merging the theory of relativity with the Compton-de Broglie wave mechanics. Two such problems were the failure of Dirac’s relativistic wave equation to predict the correct velocity of the electron, and the fact that the measured yield from nuclear fission was found to be s...
متن کاملA variant of special relativity and long-distance astronomy.
THE REDSHIFT, MICROWAVE BACKGROUND, AND OTHER OBSERVABLE ASTRONOMICAL FEATURES ARE DEDUCED FROM TWO THEORETICAL ASSUMPTIONS: (1) global space-time is a certain variant of Minkowski space, locally indistinguishable in causality and covariance features but globally admitting the full conformal group as symmetries although having a spherical space component; (2) the true energy operator correspond...
متن کاملCosmic Relativity: The Fundamental Theory of Relativity, its Implications, and Experimental Tests
In this paper I argue for a reassessment of special relativity. The fundamental theory of relativity applicable in this Universe has to be consistent with the existence of the massive Universe, and with the effects of its gravitational interaction on local physics. A reanalysis of the situation suggests that all relativistic effects that are presently attributed to kinematics of relative motion...
متن کامل52 3 v 2 6 S ep 2 00 0 Pulsar Astronomy : the HST Contribution
HST observations have contributed significantly to our knowledge on the behaviour of Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs) as optical emitters. First, HST has been instrumental both to discover new optical counterparts (PSR B1055-52, PSR B1929+10, PSR B0950+08) and to confirm proposed identifications (PSR B0656+14). Second, HST multicolor photometry provided useful information to characterize the optic...
