  • Proving you are wrong by assuming you are right

    In our simple calculations and the most complex ones even if at first sight it may surpass our intuition we are in all the steps making a calculation that computes the various energy fractions/amounts and space and time are just parametric descriptions in this grand analysis. Ofcourse we start from the simpler and gradually, itteratively…

  • OPERA-II interesting

    iii. Other experiments if consistent with OPERA will only make it a revolutionary anomaly that has ever made us unomfortable. If correct we should be prepared to study geometry and their implication for energy. That’s a question of theory. The experimental question that remains is

  • I solved flyby anomaly of Galileo-I (1990)

    I solved flyby anomaly of Galileo-I (1990)

    Note that in summary Gravitational red/violet shift induced by earth’s gravitational field accounts for the anomaly by correctly adjusting for the positive energy the secondary has along its trajectory. This may not be the exact amount for anomaly since other small perturbations can also be accounted. But this is clearly the biggest factor that accounts…

  • Hargobind Khurana, the great man no more, did we really deserve him

    A great Indian died last week, no news, no hype, nothing. One gets frisked by Americans there is brouhaha. Hargobind Khurana was criticized by some hypocrats who considered themselves intellectuals because Khurana chose American citizenship. A great many number of scientists from other advanced countries permanently emigrate to USA and become Americans there is no…

  • Moving clocks run faster in the Doppler hemisphere of approach

    Moving clocks run faster in the Doppler hemisphere of approach, run slower in the Doppler hemisphere of recession and run slower in the Doppler plane of intersection of hemisphere of approach and recession. The GPS satelites eg are in constant free fall towards earth and located in the Doppler plane of intersection, they never approach…
