A new "hidden colour hypothesis" in hadron physics
Afsar Abbas
A new "Hidden Colour Hypothesis" within the framework of QCD, as an extension of and in keeping with the spirit of the "Colour Singlet Hypothesis" is hereby proposed As such it sho…
A "Rip Van Winkle Hypothesis" to Resolve the Realism-Antirealism Debate
Afsar Abbas
The intensity of debate between the realists and antirealists shows no sign of abating. Here a new hypothesis is proposed to resolve the issue. The requirement of consistency and c…
An " Instrumentalism to Realism " Hypothesis

It is shown that as knowledge is structured, it comes in modules. This provides different " layers of reality ". Each layer of reality has its own distinctive inductive logic which…
Mathematics as an Exact and Precise Language of Nature
Afsar Abbas
One of the outstanding problems of philosophy of science and mathematics today is whether there is just "one" unique mathematics or the same can be bifurcated into "pure" and "appl…
Colour Confinement, Baryon Asymmetry and Dark Matter in Quantum Chromodynamics
Afsar Abbas
The concepts of local and global colour singletness in QCD are analyzed within a framework of a group theoretical technique which can project out various colour representations of…
