Tokyo Wheeler or the Epistemic Preconditions of the Renaissance of Relativity
Alexander Blum, Dieter Brill
During the period identified as the Rebirth of General Relativity, John Wheeler was instrumental in retrieving the physics of gravity that had become hidden behind the mathematical…
On the cylindrically symmetric wormholes WhCR^e: The motion of test particles
Asya V. Aminova, Dieter R. Brill, Pavel I. Chumarov +1
In this article we partially implement the program outlined in the previous paper of the authors [A. V. Aminova and P. I. Chumarov, Phys. Rev. D 88, 044005 (2013)]. The program owe…
Horizons in 2+1-dimensional collapse of particles
Dieter Brill, Puneet Khetarpal, Vijay Kaul
A simple, geometrical construction is given for three-dimensional spacetimes with negative cosmological constant that contain two particles colliding head-on. Depending on paramete…
Gravitational wave detectors based on matter wave interferometers (MIGO) are no better than laser interferometers (LIGO)
Albert Roura, Dieter R. Brill, B. L. Hu +2
We show that a recent claim that matter wave interferometers have a much higher sensitivity than laser interferometers for a comparable physical setup is unfounded. We point out wh…
Spacetime and Euclidean Geometry
Dieter Brill, Ted Jacobson
Using only the principle of relativity and Euclidean geometry we show in this pedagogical article that the square of proper time or length in a two-dimensional spacetime diagram is…
Lattice Universes in 2+1-dimensional gravity
Dieter R. Brill
Lattice universes are spatially closed space-times of spherical topology in the large, containing masses or black holes arranged in the symmetry of a regular polygon or polytope. E…
