Arp's book is a frontal assault on the standard model of the universe, replete with anecdotes and illustrations, including 8 pages of colour plates.

Proceedings of a conference held in Athens, Greece in June 1997. Papers discuss the historical background and conceptual as well as empirical difficulties with conventional relativity theory, while new approaches to understanding electromagnetism and gravitation are presented. Contains 38 papers by authors from 17 different countries.

Open Questions in Relativistic Physics

Physics

Presents a new mechanics that replaces Einstein's theories of relativity and Implements Mach's principle quantitatively based on Weber's relational law and the principle of dynamical equilibrium. The theory explains Newton's bucket experiment as due to gravitational interaction between the water and the distant universe when in relative motion. The book is intended for physicists, engineers, mathematicians, historians, philosophers of science and students.

Relational Mechanics

Andre Koch Torres Assis

Assis, Andre K. T.

The primary theme of this monograph is a theory in which Newton's static gravitational interaction has been replaced by a new dynamic model.

Origin of Inertia: Extended Mach's Principle and Cosmological Consequences

Ghosh, Amitabha

Although Einstein is widely credited with abolishing the ether concept, he actually introduced a new relativistic ether in 1916, developing the idea in his later works. This book relates the story of Einstein and the rebirth of the ether, demonstrating how Einstein came to reject the 19th century ether. It details three relativistic ether models developed by Einstein and Einstein's treatment of spacetime as a material entity-a "new ether"

History & Philosophy

A collection of facsimile reprints of papers on Quantum Mechanics authored and co-authored by Jean-Pierre Vigier, compiled and presented to him at a conference held to honour him on his 80th birthday at University of California at Berkeley, August 2000. The book contains a preface by Stanley Jeffers and an introduction by Lev Chebotarev.

Jean-Pierre Vigier and the Stochastic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Vigier, Jean-Pierre

Since Newton's time many have proposed that gravitation arises from the absorption by material bodies of minute particles or waves filling space. Such absorption would cause bodies to be pushed into each other's shadows. The principal early proponent of this idea was Georges-Louis Le Sage. The essays in this book explore the remarkable three hundred year saga of Le Sage's theory, gravitational shielding and the experiments of Q. Majorana, and new and recent Le Sage Models.

Pushing Gravity: New perspectives on Le Sage's theory of gravitation

Papers presented at a workshop on Extensions of Quantum Physics held in Krakow, Poland, October 12-15, 2000. The workshop was devoted to controversial new experimental results in quantum tunnelling and their theoretical interpretation, including such topics as superluminal signal velocities and the locality problem, localization of photons in tunneling, preferred reference systems in Maxwell electrodynamics, and tunnelling through many-barrier and many-layer systems.

Extensions of Quantum Physics

Horzela, Andrzej

High redshift quasars, low redshift ejecting galaxies, aligned X-ray clusters, gamma ray bursters, supposed gravitational lenses, quantized intrinsic redshifts – this book presents examples of empirical patterns of associations that repeat from region to region in the sky, suggesting evolutionary sequences and new fundamental physics. Each catalogue entry furnishes critical objects for further investigation.

Arp, Halton C.

This volume consists of a selection of refereed invited lectures presented at the International Workshop on Mach’s Principle and the Origin of Inertia which was held at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, as a part of the golden Jubilee celebrations of the Institute, from February 6 to 8, 2002. The Workshop was organized by the Centre for Theoretical Physics of the Institute with Prof. A.R. Roy as the Organising Secretary. It also includes a few contributions from experts who could not attend the Workshop. Inertia is one of the main physical properties of all bodies. Its origin poses problems of a fundamental nature. Ernst Mach proposed that the inertia of any body is caused by its interaction with the rest of the Universe. The idea reflects a deep connection between the cosmos at large and its individual constituent bodies, thereby implying a holistic conception of nature. On the whole, Ernst Mach had a seminal influence on the evolution of Physics in the 20th Century, and will influence the future development of Physics in the 21st Century. It is interesting that many of his ideas play a role (directly and indirectly) in opposite positions within contemporary physics. His epistemological viewpoint of positivism clearly influenced the basis of quantum mechanics. On the other hand his non-atomistic model of matter and the accompanying interpretation of inertial mass (the “Mach Principle”) influenced the holistic approach of the continuous field concept of the theory of general relativity, as a general theory of matter. The contributions to these proceedings demonstrate Mach’s influence on contemporary thinking. For we see here the views of an international group of scholars on the implications of Mach’s principle in physics and astrophysics. The ideas presented here could affect the path of study in physics for many generations to come.
