Can Two Ultrarelativistic Objects Lose Almost All Their Energy to Gravitational Radiation?

Don N. Page

In 2007 Pretorius and Khurana did "speculate that at threshold [at a critical impact parameter], all of the kinetic energy of the system [two ultrarelativistic black holes] is conv…

Critical Gravitational Inspiral of Two Massless Particles

Don N. Page

If two ultrarelativistic nonrotating black holes of masses and approach each other with fixed center-of-momentum (COM) total energy that…

Preserving the Sun from the Cold by a Perfectly Reflecting Dyson Sphere

Don N. Page

Some entities, such as humans, survive longest if their environment is neither too hot nor too cold, and the sun is no exception. It is rather obvious that if the sun were enclosed…

Classicality of Consciousness in Quantum Darwinism

Don N. Page

A simple toy model is proposed that would allow conscious perceptions to be either classical (perceptions of objects without large quantum uncertainties or variances) or highly qua…

Does Decoherence Make Observations Classical?

Don N. Page

The fact that we rarely directly observe much quantum uncertainty is often attributed to decoherence. However, decoherence does not reduce the quantum uncertainty in the full quant…

Photon Boomerang in a Nearly Extreme Kerr Metric

Don N. Page

The Kerr rotating black hole metric has unstable photon orbits that orbit around the hole at fixed values of the Boyer-Lindquist coordinate that depend on the axial angular mom…
