Relativity and c/sqrt{3}
S. I. Blinnikov, L. B. Okun, M. I. Vysotsky
We define the critical coordinate velocity v_c. A particle moving radially in Schwarzschild background with this velocity, v_c= c/sqrt 3, is neither accelerated, nor decelerated if…
Cube or hypercube of natural units
L. B. Okun
Max Planck introduced four natural units: h, c, G, k. Only the first three of them retained their status, representing the so called cube of theories, after the theory of relativit…
Is G a conversion factor or a fundamental unit?
G. Fiorentini, L. Okun, M. Vysotsky
By using fundamental units c, h, G as conversion factors one can easily transform the dimensions of all observables. In particular one can make them all ``geometrical'', or dimensi…
Photons, Clocks, Gravity and the Concept of Mass
L. B. Okun
Transparencies of the 18th Henry Primakoff lecture at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA, April 11, 2001 and of the Special lecture given at the 7th International Wo…
Extra generations and discrepancies of electroweak precision data
V. A. Novikov, L. B. Okun, A. N. Rozanov +1
It is shown that additional chiral generations are not excluded by the latest electroweak precision data if one assumes that there is no mixing with the known three generations. In…
