We solve the nonlinear evolution of pressureless, irrotational density fluctuations in a perturbed Robertson-Walker spacetime using a new Lagrangian method based on the velocity gradient and gravity gradient tensors. Borrowing results from general relativity, we obtain a set of Newtonian ordinary differential equations for these quantities following a given mass element. Using these Lagrangian ...

background: accumulation of pleural and peritoneal fluid is seen in some diseases. in order to diagnose the disease and start the treatment, one of the most important actions will be to differentiate between exudates and transudates. the objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of measuring the specific gravity of the fluid through refractometer and strip in differentiation...

The quantum fluctuation of the stress tensor of a quantum field are discussed , as are the resulting spacetime metric fluctuations. Passive quantum gravity is an approximation in which gravity is not directly quantized, but fluctuations of the spacetime geometry are driven by stress tensor fluctuations. We discuss a decomposition of the stress tensor correlation function into three parts, and c...

We consider some aspects of spontaneous breaking of Lorentz Invariance in field theories, discussing the possibility that the certain tensor operators may condensate in the ground state in which case the tensor Goldstone particles would appear. We analyze their dynamics and discuss to which extent such a theory could imitate the gravity. We are also interested if the universality of coupling of...
