چکیده
Gravitational Thomas Precession ( GTP ) is the name given to Thomas Precession when the acceleration is caused by a gravitational force field. The contribution of the GTP to the the anomalous perihelion advance of the orbit of Mercury is here estimated at ̇̃ ωGTP = 21 · 49 [ 1 + ( ~ L · ~ S ) L ] arcsec/century ,where ~ L and ~ S respectively represents the orbital angular momentum and the spin angular momentum of Mercury .This effect seems to be of some serious concern for the General Relativity.

Different mechanisms which may possibly explain existence of magnetic fields on astronomically large scales are described. A recently suggested model of magnetic fields generation slightly before hydrogen recombination is discussed in more detail.

Condensation in the outer regions of decaying supernovae is an efficient source of dust with grain size up to more than 1µm. The largest grains leave the parent galaxy, thus forming " grey " intergalactic dust, which can explain the observed dimming of light from distant supernovae without invoking cosmic acceleration.

An analytic formula is given for the traceless transverse part of the anisotropic stress tensor due to free streaming neutrinos, and used to derive an integro-differential equation for the propagation of cosmological gravitational waves. The solution shows that anisotropic stress reduces the squared amplitude by a factor 0.644 for wavelengths that enter the horizon during the radiation-dominate...
