On Apparent Superluminal Motion in Astrophysical Jet Models
Ernst Karl Kunst
Astrophysical models developed to explain superluminal motion in beaming phenomena are shown to be incomplete and the correct kinematical expression in any case to predict projecte…
On some Implications of (Symmetric) Special Relativity to High Energy Physics
Ernst Karl Kunst
Beside the rise of total cross sections or interaction radii of colliding high energetic particles and the shrinkage of mean-free-paths of ultra relativistic particles (nucleii) in…
The Arrow of Time
Ernst Karl Kunst
It is shown that (special) relativistically dilated time is the vector sum of rest time and time induced by movement in three dimensional space exeeding the rest time component and…
Are Short and Long Gamma Ray Bursts Really of Different Origin?
Ernst Karl Kunst
It is shown that short and long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are of the same origin and, furthermore, correlated with their duration.
On the Physical Cause and the Distance of Gamma Ray Bursts and Related Phenomena in the X-Rays and the Ultra-Violet
Ernst Karl Kunst
The modified Lorentz transformation of a distance-dependent special theory of relativity - which will be briefly summarized - predicts the possibility of superluminal velocity of v…
The Rest Mass of the Hydrogen Atom from First Principles
Ernst Karl Kunst
The rest mass of the hydrogen atom in its ground state is calculated from first physical principles and elementary geometric considerations.
