Solving the brachistochrone and other variational problems with soap films
Carlos Criado, Nieves Alamo
We show a method to solve the problem of the brachistochrone as well as other variational problems with the help of the soap films that are formed between two suitable surfaces. We…
From E=mc^2 to the Lorentz transformations via the law of addition of relativistic velocities
C. Criado, N. Alamo
In this paper we show how to get the Lorentz transformations from E=mc^2, the laws of conservation of energy and momentum, and the special relativity principle. To this end we firs…
Refracting profiles and generalized holodiagrams
C. Criado, N. Alamo, H. Rabal
The recently developed concept of refracting profiles and that of refraction holodiagrams are combined so that the classical Abramson holodiagrams can be generalized taking into ac…
A method to construct refracting profiles
N. Alamo, C. Criado
We propose an original method for determining suitable refracting profiles between two media to solve two related problems: to produce a given wave front from a single point source…
Cosmological principle and honeycombs
C. Criado, N. Alamo
We present the possibility that the gravitational growth of primordial density fluctuations leads to what can be considered a week version of the cosmological principle. The large…
