The Heavens for May

Mobile Internet from the Heavens

Almost two-thirds of the humankind currently does not have access to the Internet, wired or wireless. We present a Space Internet proposal capable of providing Zetabyte/ month capacity which is equivalent to 200GB/month for 5 Billion users Worldwide. Our proposal is based on deploying thousands of low-cost micro-satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), each capable of providing Terabit/s data rates...

/ 9505177 May . 1995 Four - Dimensional N = 2 ( 4 ) Superstring Backgrounds and The Real Heavens

We study N=2(4) superstring backgrounds which are four-dimensional nonKählerian with non-trivial dilaton and torsion fields. In particular we consider the case that the backgrounds possess at least one U(1) isometry and are characterized by the continual Toda equation and the Laplace equation. We obtain a string background associated with a non-trivial solution of the continual Toda equation, w...

Neutrinos on Earth and in the heavens

Recent data lead us to a simple and intriguing form of the neutrino mass matrix. In particular, we find solar neutrino oscillations to be nearly maximal (and rule out the small-angle MSW explanation of solar neutrino observations) if relic neutrinos comprise at least one percent of the critical mass density of the universe. 08/98 ∗ Research supported in part by the National Science Foundation u...

Searching for an alien haven in the heavens.

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
