A Machian Version of Einstein's Variable Speed of Light Theory
Alexander Unzicker, Jan Preuss
It is a little known fact that while he was developing his theory of general relativity, Einstein's initial idea was a variable speed of light theory. Indeed space-time curvature c…
Do Galaxies Change in Size ? An Angular Size Test at Low Redshift with SDSS Data
Alexander Unzicker, Karl Fabian
Based on magnitudes and Petrosian radii from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, data release 7) at low redhift (z <0.2), we developed a test of galaxy-size evolution. For this fir…
Immanuel Kant on Supersymmetry: A Practical Evaluation
Alexander Unzicker
A short review of the motivations for supersymmetry in astrophysics and particle physics is given. Despite the amount of theoretical research conducted in the past decades, no obse…
How to Determine the Probability of the Higgs Boson Detection
Alexander Unzicker
The Higgs boson is the most important, though yet undiscovered ingredient of the standard model of particle physics. Its detection is therefore one of the most important goals of h…
The VSL Discussion: What Does Variable Speed of Light Mean and Should we be Allowed to Think About ?
Alexander Unzicker
In the past years, variable speed of light (VSL) theories have been of growing interest but also a subject of controversial discussion. They have been accused both for tautologies…
