Black Holes in Elliptical and Spiral Galaxies and in Globular Clusters
Reginald T. Cahill
Supermassive black holes have been discovered at the centers of galaxies, and also in globular clusters. The data shows correlations between the black hole mass and the elliptical…
The Michelson and Morley 1887 Experiment and the Discovery of Absolute Motion
Reginald T. Cahill
Physics textbooks assert that in the famous interferometer 1887 experiment to detect absolute motion Michelson and Morley saw no rotation-induced fringe shifts - the signature of a…
The Speed of Light and the Einstein Legacy: 1905-2005
Reginald T Cahill
That the speed of light is always c=300,000km/s relative to any observer in nonaccelerating motion is one of the foundational concepts of physics. Experimentally this was supposed…
Novel Gravity Probe B Frame-Dragging Effect
Reginald T. Cahill
The Gravity Probe B (GP-B) satellite experiment will measure the precession of on-board gyroscopes to extraordinary accuracy. Such precessions are predicted by General Relativity (…
'Dark Matter' as a Quantum Foam In-Flow Effect
Reginald T. Cahill
The galactic `dark matter' effect is regarded as one of the major problems in fundamental physics. Here it is explained as a self-interaction dynamical effect of space itself, and…
