Solar Neutrinos and Photons

Authors: Clark M. Thomas
Comments: 12 Pages.

Six years ago I published a major essay on how our beautiful and ethereal solar corona is many times hotter than the photospheric surface of its sun. The coronal heating puzzle today persists among astrophysicists, despite increasing hard data. Photospheric surface temperatures are only about 9,900 degrees Fahrenheit. Coronal temperature istypically about 1.8 to 4.0 million degrees F, and even hotter, but from where? Ideas about magnetic interactions among solar neutrinos and photons within the corona help describe, but do not fully explain, what is going on. This essay is a needed update for my seminal 2017 essay referenced herein. My updated coronal heating model remains the only one that elegantly explains this hot astrophysics puzzle.

Concept: Faster-Than-Light Communication Using Sub-Photon Wavefronts

Authors: William Beaujon
Comments: 5 Pages.

This paper proposes a concept of electromagnetic wave propagation that allows for the possibility of faster communication speeds than are currently achievable. This paper bases the concept on principles described in a previous paper. Included are experiment proposals that can help support or refute the concepts described.

Sub-photon Concept and Experimental Proposals

Authors: William Beaujon
Comments: 4 Pages.

This paper proposes experiments that may help support or refute the concept of sub-photons. These include both earth-based and space satellite experiments. Propositions are made for the existence of a sub-photon "shield" around the earth, the measurement of power in extremely low frequency waves in space and using atmospheric or crustal voltage gradients as proxies for gravitational waves.

Physics in the Vicinity of Sagittarius a, Gauss Curvature Values of Spacetime in Its Vicinity

Authors: Fernando Salmon Iza
Comments: 5 Pages.

The relativistic Schwarzschild model solves Einstein's equations exactly for the assumption of a point gravitational mass and empty space in its vicinity. This model leads to a static and symmetric solution for the mathematical equation of space-time that allows its Gaussian curvature to be calculated at each point. We have calculated some curvature values and found an equation to calculate them that allows us to extend the results to a wider range of distances. Finally, we have applied these results to the real case of the black hole of our galaxy SAGITTARIUS A*, obtaining values of Gaussian curvature of the space-time in its vicinity that are valid if it is correct to apply this model.

The Sunrise Meridian, Zenith Meridian, Sunset Meridian, Apparent Daytime Length Ratio, Punctual Daytime Length Ratio, Numerical Equation of Time.

Authors: Alexis Zaganidis
Comments: 12 Pages.

In the present article, we derive an analytic formula of the Apparent Daytime Length Ratio with respect to the Earth's orbit angle $alpha(t)$ between the orbital position of the Earth's perigee and the orbital position of the Earth at a given $t$, with respect to the latitude, with respect to the Earth's axial tilt $epsilon$ and with respect to the solar apparent diameter $theta_{AS}$. That formula is simplified a lot under the approximation of a punctual Sun ($theta_{AS}=0$) and we name it the Punctual Daytime Length Ratio. The first steps for the derivation of the Apparent Daytime Length Ratio is to consider the parametric curve on the Earth's surface satisfying a tangent sunlight with respect to the parametric angle $theta$, the Sunlight obliquity angle $Omega$ (the equatorial declination of the Sun) and with respect to a solar apparent diameter $theta_{AS}$. The second part of the present article is about the precise numerical derivation of the Zenith Time Angle and the precise numerical derivation of the Equation Of Time in the following both cases : at the Meridian Plane $S_{JS}$ parallel to the sunlight at the exact time of the June Solstice, and at the Meridian Plane $S_{ME}$ parallel to the sunlight at the exact time of the March Equinox. For both Zenith Time angles and for both Equations Of Time, there is a tiny latitude dependency/variation of $17$ seconds.

Non-Universal Reference Point for Velocity Concept

Authors: William Beaujon
Comments: 2 Pages.

This paper describes a concept that sub-photons (described in a previous paper) contribute to a "zero reference point" for velocity. This paper also describes how this "zero reference point" can vary in the universe. Also proposed is a variable speed of light depending on the reference, based on a comparison of the origin of electromagnetic or gravitational waves to the point of measurement. Also described is a proposal to explain the controversial subject of high velocities of celestial objects in the outer portions of rotating galaxies.

Sub-photons Create Gravitational and Electromagnetic Waves

Authors: William Beaujon
Comments: 14 Pages.

This paper proposes that both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves are created by the same small particles which are referred to here as sub-photons. These sub-photons cause a "pushing" or repulsive type gravity described by Le Sage and many other researchers. Proposals are given to describe how sub-photons contribute to gravity, electrical current, magnetism, inductance and the energy generation of celestial objects.

Inhomogeneous Distribution of the Universe’s Matter Density as a Physical Basis for MOND’s Acceleration A0, Cosmological Redshift and Expansion

Authors: Antonio Francino, Gabriel Simón
Comments: 13 Pages.

One of the most effective theories for dark matter is Milgrom’s Modified Newtonian Dynamics, where a modified law of gravity based on a fixed acceleration scale a0 is postulated that provides a correct description of the gravitational fields in galaxies. However, the significance of a0 is unknown, and the whole theory is generally viewed as a phenomenological description of the observations. Based on Newton’s gravitational law as applied to a uniform continuous mass we posit a non-homogeneous distribution of mass at cosmological scales that would give rise to a constant acceleration that agrees with MOND’s a0. The implications for MOND as a viable theory of dark matter and for the problem of dark energy are discussed. In particular, relativistic high rotational velocities would be achieved at the border regions of the universe that would generate a transverse Doppler redshift that scales linearly with distance and migh provide an alternative explanation for the observed redshifts and expansion.
