Alternative Reflections on Gravitation
It is assumed that the primary interaction between two masses m1 and m2 is not attractive as postulated by Newton’s law of gravitation, but repulsive. Both m1 and m2 emit and absorb gravitational radiation. Corresponding to the laws of optics the absorption is connected with an impulse transfer that produces the repulsive force. If, however, m1 and m2 are embedded in the gravitational radiation...
متن کاملOn the Foundations of Quantum Theory
After giving a panoramic view of the " textbook " interpretation of the new quantum mechanics, as a sequel to the old quantum theory, the conceptual basis of quantum theory since the Copenhagen Interpretation is reviewed in the context of various proposals since Einstein and Niels Bohr, designed to throw light on possible new facets bearing on its foundations, the key issues to its inherent " i...
متن کاملThe Debate between Whewell and Mill on the Nature of Scientific Induction
The very best examples of scientific induction were known in the time of William Whewell (1994–1866) and John Stuart Mill (1806–1873). It is puzzling, therefore, that there was such a deep disagreement between them about the nature of induction. It is perhaps astounding that the dispute is unresolved to this very day! What disagreement could there be about Newton’s discovery of universal gravit...
متن کاملTowards a Mathematical Science of Computation
In this paper I shall discuss the prospects for a mathematical science of computation. In a mathematical science, it is possible to deduce from the basic assumptions, the important properties of the entities treated by the science. Thus, from Newton’s law of gravitation and his laws of motion, one can deduce that the planetary orbits obey Kepler’s laws. What are the entities with which the scie...
متن کاملA Satellite Footprint Visualisation Tool
This thesis concerns the development of a numerical software tool for propagating and visualising orbits of artificial bodies orbiting the Earth and the calculation of magnetic conjunctions between these objects and the ground. The developed toolbox Î× ËËØ enables the users to visualise the trajectories of satellites under different parameters and to estimate the visibility of a satellite to ma...
