Spatial vs Temporal Entropy: Part I

Authors: John A. Gowan
Comments: 12 pages, This paper has also been published as a Google "Knol".

The subject of entropy can be formidably technical in its full thermodynamic subtlety. However, we are primarily interested in three simple, fundamental, and typically overlooked examples of entropy in its most common, primordial, and significant form: 1) the dimensional expression of entropy as observed in the expansion and cooling of space; 2) the expansion, decay, and causal dilution of history; 3) the formation of spacetime by the negentropic action of gravitation. These dimensional or entropic domains are created by the primordial entropy drives of free electromagnetic energy (light - the spatial entropy drive of light's intrinsic motion), and bound electromagnetic energy (matter - the historical entropy drive of time's intrinsic motion). Gravity is the spatial consequence of the intrinsic motion of time. Gravity is the negentropic face of matter's positive temporal (historical) entropy drive. Gravity creates time by the annihilation of space and the extraction of a metrically equivalent temporal residue, creating spacetime, the compound entropic domain of free and bound forms of electromagnetic energy. Time, in turn, creates gravity as it rushes into history, pulling space after it. Time is the active principle of gravity's "location" charge. (See: "Entropy, Gravity, and Thermodynamics".) Time and gravity induce each other, analogously to an electric and magnetic field, but of course via a very different mechanism (see: "The Conversion of Space to Time"). Spacetime is a rather complex entropic domain - space and history are linked by negentropic gravity which converts either into the other. (See: "The Double Conservation Role of Gravitation".) The expansion of history is at the expense of the expansion of space; the rate of expansion of historic spacetime is reduced compared to the rate of expansion of pure space. Gravity is the "go-between", conversion force, or "gauge" of equity between the spatial and historical entropy drives of free and bound electromagnetic energy. (See: "A Description of Gravitation".)

Work and Kinetic Energy

Authors: M. R. Carvajal
Comments: 4 pages,

We point to a problem with the current generally accepted idea that work W = ∫ F⋅dx transfers kinetic energy KE = (1/2)mv2, showing that with exactly the same amount of work, done through a pulley or a lever, different amounts of kinetic energy can be imparted to objects of different masses. We do this without violating the laws of classical mechanics, or the work-kinetic energy theorem W = ΔKE.

Laser Boost of a Small Interstellar Ram Jet to Obtain Operational Velocity. Implications for the DM Rocket/ram Jet Model

Authors: Andrew Beckwith
Comments: 12 pages. Re formatted with font size 12 . Document to be delivered to AIBEP.org meeting in Scottsville, Arizona, November 2nd.

In other conference research papers, Beckwith obtained a maximum DM mass/ energy value of up to 5 TeV, as opposed to 400 GeV for DM, which may mean more convertible power for a dark matter ram jet. The consequences are from assuming that axions are CDM, and KK gravitons are for WDM, then ρWarm-Dark-Matter would dominate not only structure formation in early universe formation , but would also influence the viability of the DM ram jet applications for interstellar travel. The increase in convertible DM mass makes the ram jet a conceivable option. This paper in addition to describing the scientific issues leading to that 5 TeV mass for DM also what are necessary and sufficient laser boost systems which would permit a ram net to become operational.

Energy Functions Describing Kinematical Transformations of Moving Mechanical Systems

Authors: Adem Bilgin
Comments: 16 pages

Kinematical transformations are expressed as time independent and time dependent functions of work and energy to be employed in motions of mechanical systems. Relations between the kinematical parameters of moving mechanical systems and energy transformations occurring in them are also considered.
