Small-Scale Structure of Spacetime: Bounds and Conjectures
This review consists of two parts. The first part establishes certain astrophysical bounds on the smoothness of classical spacetime. The best bounds to date are based on the absence of vacuum Cherenkov radiation in ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. The second part discusses possible theoretical implications for the quantum structure of spacetime. A conjecture is presented that the fundamental leng...
متن کاملStructure of kinetic Alfvén waves with small transverse scale length
This analytical study illustrates the spatial pattern of kinetic Alfvén waves excited by a current-modulating disk whose dimension a , transverse to the confining magnetic field, is comparable to the ion sound gyroradius cs /V i , where cs is the sound speed and V i the ion cyclotron frequency. The radial structure of the wave azimuthal magnetic field is found to consist of four regions: a Bess...
متن کاملMinimal Length Scale Scenarios for Quantum Gravity
We review the question of whether the fundamental laws of nature limit our ability to probe arbitrarily short distances. First, we examine what insights can be gained from thought experiments for probes of shortest distances, and summarize what can be learned from different approaches to a theory of quantum gravity. Then we discuss some models that have been developed to implement a minimal len...
متن کاملHidden Variables and the Large-Scale Structure of Spacetime
We discuss how to embed quantum nonlocality in an approximately classical spacetime background, a question which must be answered irrespective of any underlying microscopic theory of spacetime. We argue that, in deterministic hidden-variables theories, the choice of spacetime kinematics should be dictated by the properties of generic non-equilibrium states, which allow nonlocal signalling. Such...
متن کاملthe underlying structure of language proficiency and the proficiency level
هدف از انجام این تخقیق بررسی رابطه احتمالی بین سطح مهارت زبان خارجی (foreign language proficiency) و ساختار مهارت زبان خارجی بود. تعداد 314 زبان آموز مونث و مذکر که عمدتا دانشجویان رشته های زبان انگلیسی در سطوح کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد بودند در این تحقیق شرکت کردند. از لحاظ سطح مهارت زبان خارجی شرکت کنندگان بسیار با هم متفاوت بودند، (75 نفر سطح پیشرفته، 113 نفر سطح متوسط، 126 سطح مقدماتی). کلا ...
