Thornhill, de Broglie and the kinetic theory of electromagnetic radiation
J. P. Dunning-Davies, J. Dunning-Davies
In 1983, Thornhill showed that Planck's energy distribution for a black-body radiation field could be derived for a gas-like aether with Maxwellian statistics. Further, it was show…
Some comments on the possible causes of climate change
L. Padget, J. Dunning-Davies
Climate change is an important current issue and there is much debate about the causes and effects. This article examines the changes in our climate, comparing the recent changes w…
A fresh look at some questions surrounding black holes
M. Anyon, J. Dunning-Davies
The modern notion of a black hole singularity is considered with reference to the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations of general relativity. A brief derivation of…
Some Comments on the Tests of General Relativity
M. Anyon, J. Dunning-Davies
A brief outline of the history of the discrepancies within Newtonian mechanics at the end of the nineteenth century is given. The framework of general relativity is described brief…
Some thoughts on the fluid equation of cosmology
Jeremy Dunning-Davies
The well-known fluid equation of cosmology is examined with a view to elucidating the precise conditions under which it is applicable.
Mathematics as the language of physics
J. Dunning-Davies
Courses in mathematical methods for physics students are not known for including too much in the way of mathematical rigour and, in some ways, understandably so. However, the condi…
