LOG#212. Understanding gravity(II).

Hi, there! In the previous blog post and log, we introduced the high energy stringy part of the 4-point (particle!) tree approximation amplitude for the graviton scattering in type (II) superstrings (1)   This “simple” formula gives no negative probability … Continue reading

LOG#174. Basic black hole physics.

In this year, 2015, we celebrate the Light Of Year (LOY) and one century of general relativity (GR), a misnomer for something that should be called relativistic theory of gravity. Let me celebrate the centenary of general relativity with some … Continue reading

LOG#145. Basic QFT in curved ST(V): the Hawking effect.

Dedicated to the warm memory of my hero as theoretical physicist S.W. Hawking. R.I.P. 1942-2018 Idea: Black Holes (BH) are “not” truly black. BH emit thermal radiation at the Hawking temperature and it is proportional to the surface gravity () … Continue reading

LOG#131. Spacetime foam(I).

Some weeks ago, I was studying some papers and talks by Jack Ng. I am going to share with you what I have learned from them, about the wonderful subject of the “quantum spacetime foam”. Some topics and ideas I … Continue reading

LOG#128. A chaosmic TSOR returns.

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

LOG#077. Entropic electrogravity.

Tower Wang, in his paper Coulomb Force as an Entropic Force, deduced Coulomb and Newton laws using the Verlinde approach in D=3+1 dimensions. He begins with the Reissner-Nordstrom metric in spacetime:     with the function     and   … Continue reading
