Pulsar Physics without Magnetars
Almost 40 years after the discovery of pulsars – and despite a plethora of secured data on them – pul-sar theory is still beset by a number of fundamental inconsistencies. In this short contribution, I will argue that (i) magnetars do not exist, (ii) (ordinary) pulsars turnoff (or 'die') when their wind pressure falls short of keeping the CSM at a safe distance, exceeding 10 15 cm, whereupon th...
متن کاملNeutrino Physics Without Oscillations
There is a tremendous potential for neutrinos to yield valuable new information about strongly interacting systems. Here we provide a taste of this potential, beginning with the existence of a rigorous sum rule for the proton and neutron spin structure functions based on the measurement of the flavor singlet axial charge of the nucleon. We also comment on the NuTeV report of a 3σ deviation of t...
متن کاملPhysics of Evolution: Selection without Fitness
Traditionally evolution is seen as a process where from a pool of possible variations of a population (e.g. biological species or industrial goods) a few variations get selected which survive and proliferate, whereas the others vanish. Survival probability is typically associated with the ’fitness’ of a particular variation. In this paper we argue that the notion of fitness is an a posteriori c...
متن کاملPhysics Without Causality - Theory and Evidence
The principle of cause and effect is deeply rooted in human experience, so much so that it is routinely and tacitly assumed throughout science, even by scientists working in areas where time symmetry is theoretically ingrained, as it is in both classical and quantum physics. Experiments are said to cause their results, not the other way around. In this informal paper, we argue that this assumpt...
متن کاملNew Neutrino Physics without Fine-tuning
We show how a 17 keV neutrino, the solar neutrino problem, and the atmospheric muon-neutrino deficit could all be the low-energy residues of the same pattern of lepton-number breaking at and above the weak scale, with no requirement for fine-tuning a symmetry-breaking scale at lower energies. The required pattern of small neutrino masses turns out to be naturally understood in this framework in...
