Dynamical System Approach to Cosmological Models with a Varying Speed of Light [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Methods of dynamical systems have been used to study homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models with a varying speed of light (VSL). We propose two methods of reduction of dynamics to the form of planar Hamiltonian dynamical systems for models with a ...

Ecologization Is Not a Metaphor: Museums in the Web of Life

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article documents and critiques emerging accounts of museum “ecologization”. Drawing on political ecology, materialist theory, and contemporary museum practice, we challenge dominant frameworks of ecological modernization and advocate for a more critical understanding of museums in the web of life.

Enchanting the Otherwise: Magical Realism and the Gendered Ontologies of Organizational Becoming

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper enacts a feminist‐posthumanist reimagining of gender as ontological disturbance, using magical realism not as metaphor but as epistemological method. Rejecting representational logics and the managerial rationalities of organizational realism, we advance gender not as identity or role but as spectral interference—a transversal ...

In What Sense Is the Early Universe Fine-Tuned? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is commonplace in discussions of modern cosmology to assert that the early universe began in a special state. Conventionally, cosmologists characterize this fine-tuning in terms of the horizon and flatness problems.

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Quasi-conformal curvature tensor on sequential doubly warped product manifolds with applications

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
This paper introduces a comprehensive geometric framework that bridges two important but previously disconnected areas of Riemannian geometry: the theory of sequential doubly warped product (SDWP) manifolds and the theory of quasi-conformal curvature ...

Principles, Progress and Problems in Inflationary Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Inflationary cosmology has become one of the cornerstones of modern cosmology. Inflation was the first theory within which it was possible to make predictions about the structure of the Universe on large scales, based on causal physics.

Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Horizon, homogeneity and flatness problems: do their resolutions really depend upon inflation?

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The horizon problem, encountered in cosmology, is derived as such for world models based on Robertson–Walker metric where homogeneity and isotropy of the universe is assumed to begin with and is guaranteed for all epochs.
