The Effects of Stress Tensor Fluctuations upon Focusing
J. Borgman, L. H. Ford
We treat the gravitational effects of quantum stress tensor fluctuations. An operational approach is adopted in which these fluctuations produce fluctuations in the focusing of a b…

An Estimate of the Vibrational Frequencies of Spherical Virus Particles
L. H. Ford
The possible normal modes of vibration of a nearly spherical virus particle are discussed. Two simple models for the particle are treated, a liquid drop model and an elastic sphere…

The Classical Singularity Theorems and their Quantum Loopholes
L. H. Ford
The singularity theorems of classical general relativity are briefly reviewed. The extent to which their conclusions might still apply when quantum theory is taken into account is…
