DOI: 10.1007/s10670-020-00270-z
Abstract: David Chalmers has recently argued that Relativity Theory supports the notion that shapes are Twin-Earthable. In this paper this argument is challenged. I reconstruct the argument in five steps where the last step is the… read more here.

Getting tense about relativity

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-020-02560-z
Abstract: Special relativity has been understood by many as vindicating a tenseless conception of time, denying the existence of tensed facts and a fortiori objective temporal passage. The reason for this is straightforward: both passage and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijleo.2020.165686
Abstract: Abstract This article reviews the process by which Einstein founded the theory of relativity, considers Einstein's perspective on physics and examines the relationship between our new perspective and Einstein's perspective. The basic concepts involved in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b00438
Abstract: The periodic table provides a fundamental protocol for qualitatively classifying and predicting chemical properties based on periodicity. While the periodic law of chemical elements had already been rationalized within the framework of the nonrelativistic description… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/d41586-018-05931-2
Abstract: Neutrinos are tiny, ghost-like particles that habitually change identity. A measurement of the rate of change in high-energy neutrinos racing through Earth provides a record-breaking test of Einstein’s special theory of relativity.A stringent test of… read more here.

A null test of general relativity based on a long-term comparison of atomic transition frequencies

DOI: 10.1038/s41567-018-0156-2
Abstract: The local position invariance principle of general relativity stipulates that non-gravitational experiments should give outcomes that are independent of the position and orientation of the reference frames in which they have been performed. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41567-019-0519-3
Abstract: Einstein’s general theory of relativity is one of the most important accomplishments in the history of science. We reassess the importance of one of the expeditions that made its experimental verification possible — a story… read more here.

The Replication-Transmission Relativity Theory for Multiscale Modelling of Infectious Disease Systems

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52820-3
Abstract: It is our contention that for multiscale modelling of infectious disease systems to evolve and expand in scope, it needs to be founded on a theory. Such a theory would improve our ability to describe… read more here.

The seemingly preferred cosmic frame

DOI: 10.1088/1402-4896/ac5666
Abstract: The Universe appears to have a ‘preferred’ frame of reference, within which the cosmic microwave background is completely isotropic. Earth’s motion through this relic radiation field is measurable, and some have viewed this type of… read more here.

New approach to unimodular relativity

DOI: 10.1088/1402-4896/acd6c4
Abstract: A thorough study and analysis on the conceptual foundations of unimodular gravity shows that this theory is essentially general relativity disguised as unimodular relativity in the literature. The main reason for this dilemma is accepting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stw2613
Abstract: In this paper, we study in detail the role of general relativity on the global dynamics of giant pulsar glitches as exemplified by Vela. For this purpose, we carry out numerical simulations of the spin… read more here.
