From time to time on this blog I post rants about the state of scientific
publishing, open access, the importance of the arXiv for astronomy and
cosmology, and so on.
This morning, however, I discovered an “alternative” side to the whole
business of online science, a site by the name of viXra. Most readers will
probably be familiar with this site already – many no doubt publish there,
in fact – but I have to say that it’s completely new to me. I urge you to
check it out.
The structure and layout of viXra is almost identical to the arXiv, but the
content is a bit … er … different. Naturally, I went straight for the
section that mirrors astro-ph on the arXiv. The viXra version of astro-ph so
far contains only 88 publications, but among them are papers of such
outstanding quality that I’m sure this remarkable collection will grow very
quickly when like-minded authors around the world find out about it.
I thought I’d post my favourite as an example. Initially, I was going to go
with one entitled Ball Lightning, Micro Comets, Sprite-Fireballs and X-Ray/
gamma Flashes According to Quantum FFF Theory, with the abstract
FUNCTION FOLLOWS FORM in Quantum FFF THEORY. The FORM and MICROSTRUCTURE of
elementary particles, is supposed to be the origin of FUNCTIONAL differences
between Higgs- Graviton- Photon- and Fermion particles. As a consequence, a
NEW splitting, accelerating and pairing MASSLESS BLACK HOLE, able to
convert vacuum energy (ZPE) into real energy by entropy decrease, seems to
be able to explain quick Galaxy- and Star formation, down to Sunspots, (
Micro) Comets, Lightning bolts, Sprite Fireballs and Ball Lightning.
I decided against this one, however, because of the tendency to burst
inexplicably into upper case every now and again, which I found rather
alarming.
I was also forced to reject this one, The Structuring Force of the Natural
World, on the grounds that (a) it’s in Chinese so I can’t read it and (b)
I don’t know what a “basket graph” is. Otherwise I’m sure its a splendid
piece of work.
The assumption that the mass distribution of spiral galaxies is rational was
suggested 11 years ago. The rationality means that on any spiral galaxy
disk plane there exists a special net of orthogonal curves. The ratio of
mass density at one side of a curve (from the net) to the one at the other
side is constant along the curve. Such curve is called a proportion curve.
Such net of curves is called an orthogonal net of proportion curves. I also
suggested that the arms and rings are the disturbance to the rational
structure. To achieve the minimal disturbance, the disturbing waves trace
the orthogonal or non-orthogonal proportion curves. I proved 6 years ago
that exponential disks and dual-handle structures are rational. Recently, I
have also proved that rational structure satisfies a cubic algebraic
equation. Based on these results, this paper ultimately demonstrates
visually what the orthogonal net of proportion curves looks like if the
superposition of a disk and dual-handle structures is still rational. That
is, based on the natural solution of the equation, the rate of variance
along the ‘radial’ direction of the logarithmic mass density is obtained.
Its image is called the ‘basket graph’. The myth of galaxy structure will
possibly be resolved based the further study of ‘basket graphs’.
In the end I decided to go for this impressive article, A Cantorian
Superfluid Vortex and the Quantization of Planetary Motion
This article suggests a preliminary version of a Cantorian superfluid vortex
hypothesis as a plausible model of nonlinear cosmology. Though some parts
of the proposed theory resemble several elements of what have been proposed
by Consoli (2000, 2002), Gibson (1999), Nottale (1996, 1997, 2001, 2002a),
and Winterberg (2002b), it seems such a Cantorian superfluid vortex model
instead of superfluid or vortex theory alone has never been proposed before.
Implications of the proposed theory will be discussed subsequently,
including prediction of some new outer planets in solar system beyond Pluto
orbit. Therefore further observational data is recommended to falsify or
verify these predictions. If the proposed hypothesis corresponds to the
observed facts, then it could be used to solve certain unsolved problems,
such as gravitation instability, clustering, vorticity and void formation in
galaxies, and the distribution of planet orbits both in solar system and
also exoplanets.
I’m not an expert on the “Cantorian superfluid vortex theory”, but I
suspect the author may well be correct in saying that it has not previously
been proposed as an explanation for the planetary orbits… |
