Non-Gaussian Signatures of a Thermal Big Bang
Maria Mylova, Marianthi Moschou, Niayesh Afshordi +1
What if Big Bang was hot from its very inception? This is possible in a bimetric theory where the source of fluctuations is thermal, requiring the model to live on a critical bound…
Topic Analysis of Superconductivity Literature by Semantic Non-negative Matrix Factorization
Valentin Stanev, Erik Skau, Ichiro Takeuchi +1
We utilize a recently developed topic modeling method called SeNMFk, extending the standard Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) methods by incorporating the semantic structure…
Connection between cosmological time and the constants of Nature
Joao Magueijo
We examine in greater detail the proposal that time is the conjugate of the constants of nature. Fundamentally distinct times are associated with different constants, a situation o…
Obituary, Professor John D. Barrow 1952-2020. The Sharpest of Minds
Joao Magueijo, John Webb
On Saturday 26 September, around 4am, John Barrow died aged 67, with his wife Elizabeth and son Roger at his side. From a scientific perspective, it is hard to conceive a more prem…
Linking the Baum-Hawking-Coleman Mechanism with Unimodular Gravity and Vilenkin's Probability Flux
James Page, João Magueijo
We revisit a mechanism proposed by Hawking to resolve the cosmological constant problem (and the controversy it generated) to identify possibly more palatable alternatives and expl…
Cosmological time and the constants of nature
Joao Magueijo
We propose that cosmological time is {\it effectively} the conjugate of the constants of nature. Different definitions of time arise, with the most relevant related to the constant…
