  • The quality of a scientific paper … A casual reposition.

    The quality of a scientific paper are not ZERO if citation is zero. Perhaps we need to define two parameters, quality and significance of scientific communication. Quality; a well done research in the best traditions and methods available. Significance; the outreach of the paper to bring effect into others work and others understanding toward the…

  • 3 myths of physics, especially in textbooks.

    2. Last year in a text book in Indian High School curriculum, I spotted and corrected with my students, the following: Myth; there are only 3 quarks that have been detected or FOUND/confirmed so far, in nature. Its based on a knowledge that was true more than 3 decades ago. All quarks, 6 of them,…

  • Why is the helicity for a mass-less particle Lorentz invariant?

    Result; now that photons are mass-less, their energy, momentum, speed, etc are no more variables, in the sense of arbitrariness. They are constants, taking only a few values, but constant in a given situation. But other particles have these properties; arbitrary. So electrons energy and momentum are not fixed, but arbitrary. But as long as…

  • Why Bose is not the scientist after whom Higgs is named.

    A very few particles (out of 1000s) are named after scientists, eg the so called mu meson was called a Yukawa Meson, although it turned out to be a misnomer. Mu-meson was found to be a lepton, rather than a meson, as was thought by Yukawa and others. Now called Muon it belongs in the…

  • A particle that defies classical mechanics !

    A photon has no mass but energy and it has speed and it has momentum although it does not have mass. Thats impossible in Classical Mechanics. Because Classical Mechanics associates with every mass; momentum and kinetic and potential energy. All those would be zero if mass were to be zero. Also the speed of the…
