Holography, charge and baryon asymmetry (2009)
Mongan, T. R., Funkhouser, Scott
The holographic principle indicates the finite number of bits of information available on the particle horizon describes all physics within the horizon. Linking information on the horizon with...
Holographic indeterminacy and neutron stars (2008)
The holographic indeterminacy resulting from the quantization of spacetime leads to an inherent uncertainty (lpL)1/2 in the relative positions of two events, separated by a distance L, in a direction...
The lower bound on the mass of a Schwarzschild black hole (SBH) that could absorb a particle without violating the generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics (GSLT) is derived as a function of the...
The fundamental scales of structures from first principles (2008)
Five fundamental scales of mass follow from holographic limitations, a self-similar law for angular momentum and the basic scaling laws for a fractal universe with dimension 2. The five scales...
The mass of the dominant particle in a fractal universe (2008)
Funkhouser, Scott, Pugno, Nicola
An empirically validated, phenomenological model relating the parameters of an astronomical body to the stochastic fluctuations of its granular components is generalized in terms of fractal scaling...
Action in a fractal universe and the holographic upper bound (2008)
The basic scaling laws for structures in a fractal universe require that the characteristic quantity of action associated with astronomical bodies should be of order near the maximum possible action...
Stars and the holographic upper bound on gravitational action (2007)
The holographic upper bound on entropy is applied to the gravitational action associated with the non-relativistic contraction of a nebula. A critical radius is identified, as a function of the...
A fundamental scale of mass for black holes from the cosmological constant (2007)
The existence of a positive cosmological constant leads naturally to two fundamental scales of length, being the De Sitter horizon and the radius of the cell associated with a holographic degree of...
A New Large-Number Coincidence and a Scaling Law for the Cosmological Constant (2006)
An ensemble of pure numbers of order near 10^122 is produced naturally from the fundamental parameters of modern cosmology. This new large-number coincidence problem is resolved by demonstrating...
Scaling Law for the Cosmological Constant from Quantum Cosmology with Seven Extra Dimensions (2006)
According to a model of quantum cosmology the maximum number of degrees of freedom allowed in our three dimensions was determined by the size of seven extra dimensions in an initial excited state...
A Fundamental Scale for Acceleration from the Holographic Principle (2005)
From the Eddington-Weinberg relationship, which may be explained by the holographic principle and the cosmic coincidence in a flat Universe, it follows that the characteristic gravitational...
Testing MOND with VirgoHI21 (2005)
The 'dark galaxy' VIRGOHI21 seems to be composed of an unusually high proportion of darkmatter and is situated in a strong external gravitational field. As such it offers a rare test for theories of...
The Large Number Coincidence, The Cosmic Coincidence and the Critical Acceleration (2005)
The coincidence problem among the pure numbers of order near 10^{40} is resolved with the Raychaudhuri and Friedmann-Robertson-Lemaitre-Walker equations and a trivial relationship involving the fine...
A Cosmological Modification to Energy from Mach-Hamilton Consistency (2004)
If Mach's Principle explains the Newtonian inertial reaction to acceleration then the role of the 'fixed stars' should also be manifest through Hamilton's formulation of mechanics. This consistency...
If a physical significance should be attributed to the cosmological large number relationship obtained from Sciama's formulation of Mach's Principle, then a number of interesting physical conclusions...
An Inertial Reaction to Cosmological Accelerations (2003)
Mach's "fixed stars" are actually not fixed at all. The distant clusters of galaxies are not only receding from each observer but they are also accelerating since the rate of cosmological expansion...
