Photosynthetically active radiation represents an ecological basis for determining the distribution of plants and favourable areas to different crops. The aim of this paper is to observe the direct influence of radiation on the development of crops. We used data on 25 years and calculation methods for the statistical knowledge of radiation and its distribution to specific hours. Here were performed on measurements of solar direct radiation and diffuse solar radiation, then we calculated the photosynthetically active radiation on basis of which we managed to make some estimation on the amount of energy that occurs in costal areas, how it is distributed over a period of one year and certain times characteristic. In this way we manage to make a concordance between the distribution of photosynthetically active radiation and the vegetation period of crops. Rezumat: Radiaţia activă fotosintetică reprezintă un factor ecologic de bază care determină distribuţia plantelor şi zonele favorabile pentru diferite culture. Scopul acestei lucrări este acela de a observa influenţa directă a radiaţiei asupra dezvoltării culturilor agricole. S-au utilizat date meteorologice pe o perioadă de 25 de ani şi metode de calcul statistic pentru cunoaşterea valorilor radiaţiei şi distribuţia ei la ore caracteristice. Am efectuat măsurători asupra radiaţiei solare directe şi difuze, pe baza cărora am calculat radiaţia activă fotosintetică pe un an şi la anumite ore caracteristice. În acest fel am reuşit să facem o concordanţă între distribuţia radiaţiei active fotosintetice şi perioada de vegetaţie a culturilor.

We propose a novel framework in which temporal gradients-spatial variations in the local rate of time-serve as the underlying cause of gravitational acceleration, optical refraction, and inertial resistance. By extending the concept of gravitational time dilation, we derive relationships linking acceleration, velocity, and light bending directly to the geometry of time. This approach recasts familiar forces as consequences of differential temporal flow rather than spatial curvature, offering an alternative interpretation to General Relativity. Through a series of derived equations, we demonstrate how matter and light follow diverging paths governed by time gradients, and propose experimentally testable distinctions between this model and traditional relativistic predictions. The implications suggest a new unified field perspective grounded in the structure of time itself.

La flecha del tiempo, es decir, la direccionalidad irreversible del tiempo físico observada en la termodinámica, ha representado una tensión persistente entre la simetría de las leyes fundamentales de la física y la asimetría empírica de los procesos reales. Este trabajo propone una solución basada en una nueva hipótesis: el tiempo no es una coordenada pasiva, sino un pulso causal ontológico que impulsa la existencia. Se formaliza esta propuesta, se vincula con la segunda ley de la termodinámica y se muestra que el crecimiento entrópico es una consecuencia física directa del avance irreversible de dicho pulso.

This paper focuses not on deriving the Lorentz length contraction from first principles, but on providing a geometric visualization of this well-known relativistic phenomenon. The aim is to offer an intuitive and accessible interpretation through a simple construction: a right triangle inscribed in a circle. In this model, the observed contraction of a moving rod's length as a function of velocity is illustrated geometrically. While the Lorentz contraction is formally derived via Lorentz transformations, the approach presented here serves as a complementary visual tool that may be particularly useful for educational purposes.

This paper proposes a new physical framework in which motion, inertia, and acceleration arise not from classical forces, but from gradients in the flow of time. Rather than treating time dilation as a passive consequence of gravity or velocity, we assert it to be the primary causal agent behind all dynamic behavior. We show that even slight differences in local time rates can induce measurable radial velocities, accelerations, and resistance to motion. By equating time dilation to spatial velocity, and gravitational curvature to time rate differentials, we present a unified model that accounts for gravity, inertia, and optical phenomena using a single principle: the universe seeks temporal alignment. We propose and diagram experimental setups involving muons, lasers, atomic clocks, and metamaterials to empirically test this claim. Finally, we suggest that space is not the true substrate of physics-time isand when its rate varies across space, force naturally arises. This theory may lay the foundation for a unified temporal field model extending general relativity.

Se discute la existencia de un Marco de Reposo Espacial. En el pasado se propuso la existencia de un éter luminífero estacionario como medio para la propagación de la luz. Esta idea fue descartada cuando se completó el experimento de Michelson-Morley y se fundó la Relatividad Especial sobre el supuesto de que no existe un marco de referencia especial.
Ahora, tras el experimento LIGO que observó la fusión de estrellas de neutrones, se observó que la velocidad de la luz y la velocidad de las ondas gravitacionales es exactamente la misma incluso a lo largo de 130 millones de años luz de espacio en expansión. Esto sugiere fuertemente que el medio de transmisión de la luz es el Espacio-Tiempo. Teniendo esto en cuenta, se plantea la cuestión del marco de reposo espacial. Suponiendo que la contracción de la longitud y la dilatación del tiempo dependen sólo de la velocidad vvv relativa al marco de reposo espacial ($K_0$) podemos explicar el resultado nulo del experimento de Michelson-Morley.

Preons are hypothetic constituents of the standard particles. They were initially assumed to have basically similar properties to those of conventional matter. But this is not necessarily the case: the ultimate constituents of matter may feel a different space-time from that of special relativity and exhibit mechanical properties different from those predicted by standard quantum mechanics. They can also play an important cosmological role (inflation, dark matter, dark energy...). It is even not obvious that energy and momentum would have to be conserved in such a scenario. In this series of papers, we review the subject using the superbradyon model as an example, and suggest new ways to explore possible tests of the preon hypothesis.

Alyssa Ney's The Argument from Locality for Many Worlds Quantum Mechanics (2025) defends the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) as uniquely local, arguing that global branching-where a local measurement splits all systems instantly-avoids action at a distance by inducing only Cambridge changes at distant sites. This paper critiques Ney's analyses of the branching of an observer (Bob) and a particle (b) in an EPR-Bohm setup, arguing both are problematic. Ney claims Bob and particle b undergo global branching, with b's branching being a Cambridge change. I argue that Bob does not branch, as this would undermine the Born rule, restrict superposition measurements, and imply superluminal influences. Particle b does branch, but not as a Cambridge change, as its state becomes definite relative to Alice, reflecting a physical change. I briefly propose nonlocal branching for b to address these issues. Ney's model falls short of fully ensuring MWI's empirical adequacy and relativistic compatibility, inviting exploration of a refined branching ontology.

The purpose of this paper is to sketch an approach towards a reconciliation of quantum theory with relativity theory. It will actually be argued that these two theories ultimately rely on one another. A general operator-algebraic framework for relativistic quantum theory is outlined. Some concepts of space-time structure are translated into algebra. Following deep results of Buchholz et al., the key role of massless modes, photons and gravitons, and of Huygens' Principle in a relativistic quantum theory well suited to describe "events" and "measurements" is highlighted. In summary, a relativistic version of the "ET HApproach" to quantum mechanics is described. -"Eine neue wissenschaftliche Wahrheit pflegt sich nicht in der Weise durchzusetzen, dass ihre Gegner überzeugt werden und sich als belehrt erklären, sondern vielmehr dadurch, dass die Gegner allmählich aussterben und dass die heranwachsende Generation von vornherein mit der Wahrheit vetraut ist."

In our publications we have proposed an approach called finite quantum theory (FQT) when quantum theory is based not on complex numbers but on finite mathematics. We have proved that FQT is more general than standard quantum theory because the latter is a special degenerate case of the former in the formal limit ptoinftyp\to\inftyptoinfty where ppp is the characteristic of the ring or field in finite mathematics. Moreover, finite mathematics itself is more general than classical mathematics (involving the notions of infinitely small/large and continuity) because the latter is a special degenerate case of the former in the same limit. {\bf As a consequence, mathematics describing nature at the most fundamental level involves only a finite number of numbers while the notions of limit and infinitely small/large and the notions constructed from them (e.g. continuity, derivative and integral) are needed only in calculations describing nature approximately}. However, physicists typically are reluctant ...

It is found that the "generalised Gahlean transformations" introduced by Chang form a subclass of the nonlinear (with respect to three-velocity) transformations of the Lorentz group. The concept of the relativistic covariance in a modified form leads to the necessity of existence of the absolute reference frame. The (formal) connection with usual formalism of special relativity is given. The form of the field equations and equations of motion is analysed. Some possible implications of this hypothesis are discussed. Recently Chang [1,21 has proposed the anisotropic Firstly we note that the transformations (1). do not space-time variant of the Maxwell equations. This de-have the group property.

low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor in its translational control. We wonder if this control is of major importance. Sequence homology between human and bovine LDL-receptor mRNAs is substantial; however, unlike the human mRNA1, the bovine mRNA does not contain Alu repeats'. Indeed, Hobbs et al. 4 reported that the genetic events that gave rise to the Alu cluster occurred within the past 33 million years, before the development of the Hominidae. Animal species which diverged earlier from human ancestors (for example, cow, rabbit or baboon) lack Alu sequences in their LDL mRNA. Despite this, there is no evidence that regulation of the LDL receptor in these species differs substantially from that in the human'•x. Accordingly, it becomes unlikely that Alu sequences playa major regulatory role in the translational control of the LDL receptor. Definite proof of a regulatory role of the Alu sequences in LDL mRNA awaits studies comparing the regulation of the LDL receptor produced in the presence or the absence of Alu sequences in the 3' un translated region of LDLmRNA.

This paper introduces Quantum Spatial Mechanics (QSM), a unifying framework that connects quantum field theory and general relativity through field-resonant behavior in structured spatial mediums. By modeling inertia and motion as harmonic feedback within phase-locked standing wave systems, QSM enables reactionless propulsion, stealth field modulation, and vacuum-state energy feedback. The theory is validated through its engineering manifestation — the Guardian CP1 — filed under U.S. utility patent law on April 3, 2025. This model suggests space is not empty, but informationally responsive, offering a potential path toward integrating quantum-scale coherence with macro-scale curvature.

El tiempo puede ser contemplado desde muy diversos ángulos conceptuales. Para unos es un continuo. Para otros el tiempo podría estar constituido por partículas discretas elementales (cronones), haciendo que a escala cuántica el tiempo sea no sólo discontinuo sino granulado e incluso irregular. En fin, tampoco falta quien piense que el mundo simplemente no sucede, solo es: la flecha del tiempo la pone el hombre. Tal diversidad de hipótesis y, sobre todo, la divergencia de sus planteamientos muestran dos cosas: que tal cuestión es motivo de gran interés intelectual y que se está muy lejos de tener una verdad absoluta en esta materia.

Resonance and Symmetry Concept ## **Author:** \[Garrick Ramsey Holmes, 6/14/2025]-### **Concept Statement** I propose a simple cosmological model where our universe exists as a finite sphere located at the exact center of a much larger, perfectly mirrored spherical shell. The mirrored shell acts as a physical boundary, reflecting all light, energy, and information back into the universe. **Key feature:** * The universe and its mirrored shell are hypothesized to **resonate at the same fundamental frequency** (or harmonically related frequencies). This resonance would shape the allowed standing wave patterns inside, much like musical notes in an instrument. **Physical Implications:** * This configuration enforces *perfect spherical symmetry*; all locations inside experience the same physics in every direction. * Only certain standing wave modes (light, gravity, etc.) can exist, determined by the geometry and resonance of the shell. * This could explain why natural systems (planets, stars, atomic orbitals, etc.) tend to form spheres and why cosmic background signals appear so uniform. * The model provides a possible physical reason for observed cosmic uniformity and structure, based not on mathematical abstraction but on real, physical boundary and resonance effects. **Novelty:** While boundaries and symmetry have been considered historically, I have not found a published model proposing that the universe sits at the center of a mirrored shell, with the *resonant interaction* between the universe and the boundary determining cosmic structure and symmetry. ### **Note** I am not presenting mathematical derivations or a full theory-this is a conceptual idea meant to inspire further exploration and analysis.

One of the daunting problems in searching for a correct model of the speed of light is the contradiction between the Michelson-Morley experiment and the Sagnac effect. I have been working on a new theory called Apparent Source Theory (AST), which is based on three assumptions: 1. The effect of absolute motion of an inertial observer is to create an apparent change in the time of light emission. 2. The center of the light wave fronts moves with the same velocity as the absolute velocity of the inertial observer and the velocity of light depends on the mirror velocity relative to the observer 3. Two observers/detectors that happen to be at the same point in space at the same time instant and moving with equal velocities will observe identical physical phenomena (for example, fringe position). The third postulate is used to analyze light speed problems involving accelerating observers/detectors. AST has been successful in providing consistent explanations for many light speed experiments. However, the precise application of AST to the Sagnac effect has been a challenge for AST. In this paper, a new analysis of Sagnac effect based on AST is presented. One of the unexpected findings is that the light beam propagating in the same direction as the observer will take less time to reach the observer than the light beam propagating in the opposite direction. Unconventionally, the fringe shift in the Sagnac effect is not due to a difference in path lengths of the counter-propagating light beams, but due to difference in their velocities according to the ballistic hypothesis. Experimental testing of this claim is proposed.

Discussed is the signature of Spacetime of the universe according to the modus of Special Relativity resp. General Relativity. This signature can be derived from a single polynomial equation, which, with zero-solutions of coordinate axes, causes the metric tensor-components of a tangential spacetime TM to the whole manifold ("Minkowski-spacetime") and its counterpart, the "Anti-Minkowski-metric" (ATM) with constant, negative metric tensorcomponents. Also the question comes clear, why the answer to the ontological meaning and sense of the universe is 42.

Gravity is not a fundamental force; in a nut-shell it is the result of a non-commutative interaction of the "electric" (i.e. Coulomb type) due to fractional charges of the proton and neutron in U (2)-gauge theory, but which have no structure in U (1)-gauge theory, being neutral in itself (neutron), or when compensated by the electronic cloud (proton). This is no longer true at the SU (2) Electroweak Theory level, once spherical 3D-symmetry is broken to a finite Platonic group of symmetry within it Γ → SU (2). The fine splitting of energy levels due to the quark structure (frame basis in SU (2)) of the electric charge can be experimentally controlled using a MASER to invert the population and orient the nuclei the right way to reduce and turn-off Gravity.

Because of its abstract nature, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity is rarely present in school physics curricula. Although the educational community has started to investigate ways of bringing general relativity to classrooms, field-tested educational material is rare. Employing the model of educational reconstruction, we present a collaborative online learning environment that was introduced to final year students (18-19 years old) in six Norwegian upper secondary physics classrooms. Design-based research methods guided the development of the learning resources, which were based on a sociocultural view of learning and a historical-philosophical approach to teaching general relativity. To characterize students' learning from and interaction with the learning environment we analyzed focus group interviews and students' oral and written responses to assigned problems and discussion tasks. Our findings show how design choices on different levels can support or hinder understanding of general relativity, leading to the formulation of design principles that help to foster qualitative understanding and encourage collaborative learning. The results indicate that upper secondary students can obtain a qualitative understanding of general relativity when provided with appropriately designed learning resources and sufficient scaffolding of learning through interaction with teacher and peers.

In an attempt to reconcile the problem of developed galaxies observed near the cosmic microwave background (CMB) limit of the observable universe, the author normalised the age of the universe. Local Hubble expansion redshift values were projected out to correspond with the redshift value of the CMB, some 1090 times greater. It is thought that due to space expanding at the speed of light at this location, the Hubble's sphere, special relativity effects may distort observations. The new value places the universe's age at 8.8 trillion years old.

The picture of space-time that Minkowski created in 1907 has been followed by two important developments in physics not contained in the original picture: general relativity and quantum mechanics. We will argue that the use of concepts of those theories to construct space-time implies conceptual modifications in quantum mechanics. In particular one can construct a viable picture of quantum mechanics without a reduction process that has outcomes equivalent to a picture with a reduction process. One therefore has two theories that are entirely equivalent experimentally but profoundly different in the description of reality they give. This introduces a fundamental level of undecidability in physics of a kind that has not been present before. We discuss some of the implications.

Abstract: We consider discretizations of the Einstein action of general relativity such that the resulting discrete equations of motion form a consistent constrained system. Upon``spin foam''quantization of the system, consistency allows a natural way of recovering the correct semi-classical theory. A consistent set of approximations to the Einstein equations could also have implications for numerical relativity and for the construction of approximate classical observables for the theory.

In the presence of a cosmological constant, ordinary Poincare' special relativity is no longer valid and must be replaced by a de Sitter special relativity, in which Minkowski space is replaced by a de Sitter spacetime. In consequence, the ordinary notions of energy and momentum change, and will satisfy a different kinematic relation. Such a theory is a different kind of a doubly special relativity. Since the only difference between the Poincare' and the de Sitter groups is the replacement of translations by certain linear combinations of translations and proper conformal transformations, the net result of this change is ultimately the breakdown of ordinary translational invariance. From the experimental point of view, therefore, a de Sitter special relativity might be probed by looking for possible violations of translational invariance. If we assume the existence of a connection between the energy scale of an experiment and the local value of the cosmological constant, there would be changes in the kinematics of massive particles which could hopefully be detected in high-energy experiments. Furthermore, due to the presence of a horizon, the usual causal structure of spacetime would be significantly modified at the Planck scale.

In the presence of a cosmological constant, interpreted as a purely geometric entity, absence of matter is represented by a de Sitter spacetime. As a consequence, ordinary Poincare special relativity is no longer valid and must be replaced by a de Sitter special relativity. By considering the kinematics of a spinless particle in a de Sitter spacetime, we study the geodesies of this spacetime, the ensuing definitions of canonical momenta, and explore possible implications for quantum mechanics.

The dispersion relation of de Sitter special relativity is obtained in a simple and compact form, which is formally similar to the dispersion relation of ordinary special relativity. It is manifestly invariant under change of scale of mass, energy and momentum, and can thus be applied at any energy scale. When applied to the universe as a whole, the de Sitter special relativity is found to provide a natural scenario for the existence of an evolving cosmological term, and agrees in particular with the present-day observed value. It is furthermore consistent with a conformal cyclic view of the universe, in which the transition between two consecutive eras occurs through a conformal invariant spacetime.

The properties of Lorentz transformations in de Sitter relativity are studied. It is shown that, in addition to leaving invariant the velocity of light, they also leave invariant the length-scale related to the curvature of the de Sitter spacetime. The basic conclusion is that it is possible to have an invariant length parameter without breaking the Lorentz symmetry. This result

Modern physics and human affairs alike have fallen into the trap of dualistic thinking: we depict reality as determined by two observers (relativity) or by two possible outcomes (quantum superpositions), and we treat political conflicts as a showdown between two warring factions. This paper proposes a radical reinterpretation that unifies: 1. A 5D moment view of time (T-UNI), in which the present is globally defined, and evolution is driven by dark energy expansion.

Esta extensión conserva la forma de las ecuaciones de Einstein pero introduce una termodinámica relativista en su interior.

Presentamos una teoría unificada en 11 dimensiones basada en el marco de Kaluza-Klein, donde siete dimensiones compactas generan fuerzas gauge y cuatro dimensiones forman el espacio-tiempo observable. Incorporamos rigurosamente el formalismo FOTer + RG + FMT al sector 4D, mediante la inclusión de un campo escalar térmico-gravitacional, un campo gauge métrico y una constante cosmológica dinámica.

We present a deep-learning artificial intelligence model that is capable of learning and forecasting the late-inspiral, merger and ringdown of numerical relativity waveforms that describe quasi-circular, spinning, non-precessing binary black hole mergers. We used the NRHybSur3dq8 surrogate model to produce train, validation and test sets of = |m| = 2 waveforms that cover the parameter space of binary black hole mergers with mass-ratios q ≤ 8 and individual spins |s z {1, 2} | ≤ 0.8. These waveforms cover the time range t ∈ [-5000M, 130M], where t = 0M marks the merger event, defined as the maximum value of the waveform amplitude. We harnessed the ThetaGPU supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility to train our AI model using a training set of 1.5 million waveforms. We used 16 NVIDIA DGX A100 nodes, each consisting of 8 NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs and 2 AMD Rome CPUs, to fully train our model within 3.5 hours. Our findings show that artificial intelligence can accurately forecast the dynamical evolution of numerical relativity waveforms in the time range t ∈ [-100M, 130M]. Sampling a test set of 190,000 waveforms, we find that the average overlap between target and predicted waveforms is 99% over the entire parameter space under consideration. We also combined scientific visualization and accelerated computing to identify what components of our model take in knowledge from the early and late-time waveform evolution to accurately forecast the latter part of numerical relativity waveforms. This work aims to accelerate the creation of scalable, computationally efficient and interpretable artificial intelligence models for gravitational wave astrophysics.
