  • The State of the Art of Neutrino Physics
    Antonio Ereditato
     The neutrino is the most fascinating elementary particle due to its elusive nature and outstanding properties that have attracted the interest of generations of physicists since 1930, when it was first postulated by Wolfgang Pauli as a "desperate remedy" to explain the apparent energy violation in the beta decay. Many fundamental discoveries in particle physics had the neutrin...

  • The Cause and Evolution of the Universe
    John Auping
    The work of Dr John Auping seeks to assist readers to differentiate observationally verified aspects of cosmology from ideas whose verification is distant, or perhaps impossible. Such a task is performed by using a careful application of the orthodox scientific method.   This English edition is a part of Auping’s original work especially devoted to the description of the dynami...

  • Dark Energy Physics
    Anthony William Green
    In 2003 NASA published the first year data release of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. Explaining the universe contains 96% more matter than we thought. The implications of this knowledge is profound, it undermines all the theories of the universe. How can any theory based on just 4% of the data be viable? A new theory of the universe was required based on 100% of the ...

  • Cosmology, Gravitational Waves and Particles
    HARALD FRITZSCH
     In February 2016, physicists announced the breakthrough discovery of the gravitational waves, which were predicted by Albert Einstein in his century-old theory of General Relativity. These gravitational waves were emitted as a result of the collision of two massive black holes that happened about 1.3 billion years ago. They were discovered at the Laser Interferometer Gravitati...

  • The Guru of Gravity
    Rote Writer
    If a child asks if I believe in God, I answer, I don’t know. But I know how gravity created the universe. It all began with a big bang. Gravity held all matter which can neither be created nor destroyed only redeployed like ice, water and steam; into a singular event. Like an atomic explosion, the heat from the pressure of the gravity reached its boiling point like a popped cor...

    Chandra Wickramasinghe
    This is a revisit of a radical theory of cometary panspermia and cosmic life that was first proposed by Chandra Wickramasinghe and the late Sir Fred Hoyle in 1982. In its earliest form the theory of cosmic life started off as a speculation in 1974 after the first discovery of complex organic molecules and polymeric dust in interstellar space. The speculation soon developed into...

  • Origin and Evolution of Comets
    Hans Rickman
    Since several decades, comets have been considered as key witnesses of solar system formation. Their nature has been explored using the modern arsenal of Earth- and space-based observations, and they hold a central place as dynamical arbiters of the planetary system in the new paradigm of solar system evolution known as the Nice Model. Thus, they have the potential to test the ...
