Discovery of Hubble's Law: an Example of Type III Error
Ari Belenkiy
Recently much attention has been paid to the discovery of Hubble's law: the linear relation between the rate of recession of the distant galaxies and distance to them. Though we no…
"The Waters I am Entering No One yet Has Crossed": Alexander Friedman and the Origins of Modern Cosmology
Ari Belenkiy
Ninety years ago, in 1922, Alexander Friedman (1888-1925) demonstrated for the first time that the General Relativity equations admit non-static solutions and thus the Universe may…
Stirring Astronomy into Theology: Sir Isaac Newton on the Date of the Passion of Christ
Ari Belenkiy, Eduardo Vila Echague
It is known that Sir Isaac Newton suggested a date for the Passion of Christ in the posthumously published "Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. Joh…
Groping Toward Linear Regression Analysis: Newton's Analysis of Hipparchus' Equinox Observations
Ari Belenkiy, Eduardo Vila Echague
In February 1700, Isaac Newton needed a precise tropical year to design a new universal calendar that would supersede the Gregorian one. However, 17th-Century astronomers were unce…
The EPR experiment in the energy-based stochastic reduction framework
J. Silman, S. Machnes, S. Shnider +2
We consider the EPR experiment in the energy-based stochastic reduction framework. A gedanken set up is constructed to model the interaction of the particles with the measurement d…
The Geometry of Stochastic Reduction of an Entangled System
Ari Belenkiy, Steve Shnider, Lawrence Horwitz
We show that the method of stochastic reduction of linear superpositions can be applied to the process of disentanglement for the spin-0 state of two spin-1/2 particles. We describ…
