If you believe in both, relativity AND quantum mechanics, something that I presume you do due to experimental support, you are driven to admit that the speed of light is the maximal velocity (at least, the maximal 1-speed, in single … Continue reading
I have the power! I have a power BETTER than the Marvel’s tesseract. It is called physmatics. Hi, there! We are back to school. This time, I am going to give you a tour with some geometrical objects, or geometricobjects, … Continue reading
Hi, folks! Before the upcoming series of thematic blog posts (they are on their way, eager readers), I found a very interesting paper to discuss. The paper is this http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.1820 and the pdf file can be found here http://arxiv.org/pdf/1408.1820v1.pdf . The author of the … Continue reading
Warm Dark Matter candidates: neutrinos, axions, extra relativistic species currently unknown. Cold Dark Matter candidates: many. Pick one (or many!): Z primes, the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), gravitino, gaugino, neutralino, ELKO fields, Majorana spinors, the infinite component Majorana field, unparticles, … Continue reading
Some conclusions of this fascinating subject and thread about the mythical spacetime foam: (1) CDM(Cold Dark Matter) and MOND seems to be complementary descriptions of the same dynamics and phenomenology. (2) MOND force law works at galactic scales. This can … Continue reading
The second post in this thread is completely speculative. 1) Suppose that Dark Energy is some kind of “fluid” made of some long wavelength “particles” or “exotic stuff”. 2) How different are those “Dark Energy particles” from the particles we … Continue reading
Dear followers and dear readers! Time has come! I am back with the brand new TSOR and its new site. The wait is over. :). Firstly, I have some interesting things to tell you: 1) I have not finished the … Continue reading
In my final post of this basic Cosmology thread, I am going to discuss scalar perturbations and to review some of the recent results about cosmological parameters by WMAP and PLANCK. One of the predictions of the Standard Cosmological … Continue reading
The topic today: problems in the Standard Cosmological Model (LCDM), inflation and scalar fields! STANDARD COSMOLOGICAL MODEL: ISSUES Despite the success of the Standard Cosmological model (or LCDM), today it is widely accepted that it is not complete, even if … Continue reading
Recombination When the Universe cooled up to , the neutrinos decoupled from the primordial plasma (soup). Protons, electrons and photons remained tighly coupled by 2 main types of scattering processes: 1) Compton scattering: 2) Coulomb scattering: Then, there were little … Continue reading
