Is Quantum Chemistry a Degenerating Research Programme?
... a change in the auxiliary hypotheses rather than the hard core of the theory. A research programme can be progressive or degenerating. A research programme is progressive when a sequence of theories T and T 0 predicts new facts. This paper intends to address the question of whether quantum chemistry ...

Renormalization group running of Newton`s constant G: The static
... Corrections are computed to the classical static isotropic solution of general relativity, arising from nonperturbative quantum gravity effects. A slow rise of the effective gravitational coupling with distance is shown to involve a genuinely nonperturbative scale, closely connected with the gravita ...

Electrodynamics of Moving Particles
... It is easy to avoid infinities assuming finite dimensions of the particle. But then an infinite amount of information (Poincaré stresses) is necessary to describe the interior of the particle. Many efforts have been made to replace this infinite number of internal degrees of freedom by a finite num ...

Realism and Objectivism in Quantum Mechanics Vassilios

For a viable realist interpretation of quantum theory, the concept of realism must not be associated with ideas taken over from classical physics, such as atomism, localizability, separability, or similar philosophical preconceptions such as strict subject-obj ...

Since Hubble observed the red shift in photons originating from far distant astronomical bodies, the standard physical model has come to rely exclusively on the validity of the theory of cosmological origins [referred to as the Big Bang Theory] as the basis for all subordinate considerations.
