Relativity 4-ever?
Olga Chashchina, Zurab Silagadze
This essay is about superluminal motion. It is generally believed that special relativity prohibits movements faster than the speed of light. It is explained which motion is actual…
On deformations of classical mechanics due to Planck-scale physics
O. I. Chashchina, A. Sen, Z. K. Silagadze
Several quantum gravity and string theory thought experiments indicate that the Heisenberg uncertainty relations get modified at the Planck scale so that a minimal length do arises…
On the quantum mechanical derivation of the Wallis formula for
O. I Chashchina, Z. K. Silagadze
We comment on the Friedmann and Hagen's quantum mechanical derivation of the Wallis formula for . In particular, we demonstrate that not only the Gaussian trial function, used b…
Radial acceleration relation and dissipative dark matter
Olga Chashchina, Robert Foot, Zurab Silagadze
Observations indicate that ordinary matter, the baryons, influence the structural properties of dark matter on galactic scales. One such indication is the radial acceleration relat…
Voigt transformations in retrospect: missed opportunities?
Olga Chashchina, Natalya Dudisheva, Zurab Silagadze
The teaching of modern physics often uses the history of physics as a didactic tool. However, as in this process the history of physics is not something studied but used, there is…
Dark matter as a cancer hazard
Olga Chashchina, Zurab Silagadze
We comment on the paper "Dark Matter collisions with the Human Body" by K. Freese and C. Savage (Phys. Lett. B 717, 25 (2012) [arXiv:1204.1339]) and describe a dark matter model fo…
