Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Potential field data have long been used in geophysical exploration for archeological, mineral, and reservoir targets. For all these targets, the increased search of highly detailed three-dimensional subsurface volumes has also promoted the recollection ...

The philosophy behind quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2006 This paper investigates some of the philosophical and conceptual issues raised by the search for a quantum theory of gravity. It is critically discussed whether such a theory is necessary in the first place, and how much would be accomplished if it is ...

The Influence of Bathymetry on Regional Marine Geoid Modeling in Northern Europe
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Although Northern Europe has been the target area in many regionwide geoid determination studies, the research has been land-focused, neglecting bathymetry information. With new projects, such as the Baltic Sea Chart Datum 2000, the attention is shifting

Is Gravity an Entropic Force? [PDF]
, 2011 The remarkable connections between gravity and thermodynamics seem to imply that gravity is not fundamental but emergent, and in particular, as Verlinde suggested, gravity is probably an entropic force.

Gravity as a Quantum Field Theory
Symmetry, 2023 Classical gravity is understood as the geometry of spacetime, and it seems very different from the other known interactions. In this review, I will instead stress the analogies: Like strong interactions, the low energy effective field theory of gravity is related to a nonlinearly realized symmetry, and like electroweak interactions, it is a gauge ...

Measurement of Jupiter’s asymmetric gravity field [PDF]
Nature, 2018 The gravity harmonics of a fluid, rotating planet can be decomposed into static components arising from solid-body rotation and dynamic components arising from flows. In the absence of internal dynamics, the gravity field is axially and hemispherically symmetric and is dominated by even zonal gravity harmonics J2n that are approximately proportional to

SPACETIME OR QUANTUM PARTICLES: THE ONTOLOGY OF QUANTUM GRAVITY? [PDF]
, 1996 The domains of quantum theory and general relativity overlap in situations where quantum mechanical effects cannot be ignored. In order to deal with this overlap of theoretical domains, there has been a tendency to apply the rules of quantum field theory

, 2010 The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the “brane”) embedded in a 1+3+d-dimensional spacetime (the “bulk”), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.
