Absolute Velocity and Total Stellar Aberration

It is generally accepted that stellar annual or secular aberration is attributed to the changes in velocity of the detector. We can say it in a slightly different way. By means of the all known experiments, stellar aberration is directly or indirectly detectable and measurable, only if a detector changes its velocity. Our presumption is that stellar aberration is not caused by the changes in the velocity of the detector. It exists due to the movement of the detector regarding to an absolute inertial frame. Therefore it is just the question of how to choose such a frame. In this paper it is proposed a method to detect and measure instantaneous stellar aberration due to absolute velocity. We can call it an “absolute” stellar aberration. Combining an “annual” and an “absolute” we can define a “total” stellar aberration.

Systematical Scrutiny into Special Relativity

This paper examines some basic propositions of the special relativity theory. A Gedanken experiment is proposed to disprove Einstein's light speed invariance; the 4-dimension invariant seems invalid because it is impossible for the time and spatial coordinate variables to be orthogonal, because of their presumed cross-correlations; and the Lorentz transformation is therefore bounded to have an intrinsic arbitrariness. In addition, the well-known topic of the 'relativity of simultaneity' turns out to be false proposition, because of at least one logical error made by Einstein that violates the two postulates of his own theory. Einstein's theory is flooded with vital errors and flaws, and must be reexamined thoroughly as soon as possible.

A Fundamentally Irreversible World as an Opportunity towards a Consistent Understanding of Quantum and Cosmological Contexts

In a preceding publication a fundamentally oriented and irreversible world was shown to be derivable from the important principle of least action. A consequence of such a paradigm change is avoidance of paradoxes within a “dynamic” quantum physics. This becomes essentially possible because fundamental irreversibility allows consideration of the “entropy” concept in elementary processes. For this reason, and for a compensation of entropy in the spread out energy of the wave, the duality of particle and wave has to be mediated via an information self-image of matter. In this publication considerations are extended to irreversible thermodynamics, to gravitation and cosmology with its dependence on quantum interpretations. The information self-image of matter around particles could be identified with gravitation. Because information can also impose an always constant light velocity there is no need any more to attribute such a property to empty space, as done in relativity theory. In addition, the possibility is recognized to consider entropy generation by expanding photon fields in the universe. Via a continuous activation of information on matter photons can generate entropy and release small energy packages without interacting with matter. This facilitates a new interpretation of galactic redshift, emphasizes an information link between quantum- and cosmological phenomena, and evidences an information-triggered origin of the universe. Self-organized processes approach maximum entropy production within their constraints. In a far from equilibrium world also information, with its energy content, can self-organize to a higher hierarchy of computation. It is here identified with consciousness. This appears to explain evolution of spirit and intelligence on a materialistic basis. Also gravitation, here identified as information on matter, could, under special conditions, self-organize to act as a super-gravitation, offering an alternative to dark matter. Time is not an illusion, but has to be understood as flux of action, which is the ultimate reality of change. The concept of an irreversible physical world opens a route towards a rational understanding of complex contexts in nature.

Dark Energy Is a Phenomenal Effect of the Expanding Universe-Possibility for Experimental Verification

Vacuum energy density has been defined and mass formation from “space-time” has been viewed from a different perspective. This explanation for vacuum energy is based on “space-time” and conversion of space into time keeping “space-time density” as constant. Equations for “space-time” and mutual conversion of space and time have been derived. As a result, new concept of mass creation has been explained. By postulating that space time density of universe is constant, low and high values of cosmological constant has been shown as the exchange of energy between space, time and matter. The concept has been used to explain dark energy concept of the universe. It concluded a result that velocity of light is changing with the apparent expansion of the universe. The derived equation is possible for experimental verification. Obviously it is a contradiction to Big bang model. So the derived equation with the help of quantum concepts explained the 2.7 K cosmic micro wave background radiation. Theoretical value of Hubble’s constant has been proposed which is useful for calculation of experimental results appropriately.

Time, Length, and Mass Are Derived Quantities

Fundamental units of measurements are kilograms, meters, and seconds—in regards to mass length, and time. All other measurements in mechanical quantities including kinetic quantities and dynamic quantities are called derived units. These derived units can be expressed in terms of fundamental units, such as acceleration, area, energy, force, power, velocity and volume. Derived quantities will be referred to as time, length, and mass. In order to explain that fundamental units are not equivalent with fundamental quantities, we need to understand the contraction of time and length in Special Relativity. If we choose the velocity of light as fundamental quantity and length and time as derived quantities, then we are able to construct three-dimensional space-time frames. Three-dimensional space-time frames representing time with polar coordination, time contraction and length contraction can be shown graphically.

Group velocity dispersion effect on the collapse of femtosecond laser pulses in air: a revised form for Marburger's law

The influence of group velocity dispersion（GVD） on the self-focusing of femtosecond laser pulses is investigated by numerically solving the extended nonlinear Schr？dinger equation. By introducing the GVD length LGVDinto the semi-empirical, self-focusing formula proposed by Marburger, a revised one is proposed, which can not only well explain the influence of GVD on the collapse distance, but also is in good agreement with the numerical results, making the self-focusing formula applicable for more cases.

Weighted nonlinear phase shift with group velocity dispersion to assess the nonlinear penalty in C+L band long-haul fiber optical amplified transmission link

To assess the penalty due to nonlinear effect in C＋L band long-haul optical amplified transmission link, a new parameter of modified nonlinear phase shift （ФD） is proposed, which is the accumulated nonlinear phase shift weighted by a normalized group velocity dispersion （GVD）. Based on the numerical simulation result of broadband long-haul hybrid Raman/erbium-doped fiber amplified transmission line, it is validated that CD is more reasonable and suitable than the previous proposed nonlinear phase shift （ФNL） for broadband applications.

Phase-controlled gain, phase shift, and group velocity using a room-temperature active-Raman-gain medium

A four-level tripod active-Raman-gain scheme is analyzed for obtaining phase-controlled gain, phase shift, and group velocity at room temperature. The scheme can be used to eliminate significant probe field atten- uation or distortion which is unavoidable in the scheme based on electromagnetically induced transparency. It is shown that the intensity gain, phase shift, and group velocity of a probe field can be simultaneously manipulated by changing the relative phase of two pump fields. The scheme is also different from that proposed recently by Deng et al. where a probe-field gain always exists. New features of the scheme presented here raise the possibility of designing rapidly responding optical switches and gates for optical information processing.
