Yajnik (Department of Physics) Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Bombay November 17, 2003 Abstract: Recent advances in Cosmology have taken us closer to understand our Universe better. We study preliminary General relativity and its application to Cosmology. Initially we develop the background for the Friedmann models and analyse their behaviour. Later we modify them to incorporate recent observations from the Cosmic Background Explorer(COBE), Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, Supernova Cosmology Project and Hi-z Supernova project. We also examine the possibility of stringy matter as being a part of our Universe motivated by particle physics considerations and as a possible explanation for the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays.

It was a subject of intense interest in the 1960’s and 1970’s when advances included the discovery of the Kerr solution, the study of black holes and singularity theorems and the introduction of asymptopia as a framework for studying asymptotic properties, including gravitational radiation. At the same time there were many mathematical problems which resisted mathematical analysis. In recent years there have been significant advances in our understanding of the topological, geometrical and PDE aspects of general relativity and progress is once again becoming rapid. New results are being obtained, and older results re-proved in greater generality. This programme will be structured around four themes: Elliptic aspects of general relativity: new methods of solving the constraint equations, developments from the solution of the Riemannian Penrose inequality, the study of static and stationary solutions including black holes.

171. Pythagorean Physics - Writings By Todd Matthews Kelso An axiomatic system that expands on classical mechanics rather than utilizing relativity or quantum mechanics. Variable mass. Different concept of a particle. http://home.att.net/~zei/TMKelso/index.htm

PYTHAGOREAN PHYSICS A Collection of Writings by Todd Matthews Kelso Introduction Overview Pythagorean Physics postulates the existence of a basic unit of matter, the Pythagorean atom. It deals with discreteness in favor of continuity. It considers both time and space to be absolute. Motion is a function of space and time. Unlike classical mechanics, Pythagorean Physics considers mass to be a variable and has a different concept of what a particle is. Pythagorean Physics employs an axiomatic system that incorporates both philosophy and science in order to achieve meaning. Epistemology Scientists sometimes have a difficult time understanding the limits and validity of what they think they know. Neither the theory of relativity nor quantum mechanics employs an axiomatic system that can guard against such errors. Rather, they both superimpose notions for convenience. Pythagorean Physics follows an axiomatic system that starts with definitions and proceeds step by step from there in a logical fashion that provides meaning in a way that other approaches can not. Integration of Philosophy and Science Specialization has tended to separate concepts that are really interconnected. In order to understand better how the universe works, it is necessary to understand more than just one small portion of it. A comprehensive overview that honors the interconnectedness of all existence is required. Unfortunately, particular aspects of science are becoming more and more esoteric without a broader view. It even becomes necessary at times for a scientist to accept on faith the work developed in a different area of science. This practice can add credence to ideas that should be challenged. Pythagorean Physics challenges multiple ideas from multiple disciplines.

174. The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis An assessment of linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity. With reference to the legacies of Wilhelm von Humboldt and Sigmund Freud. http://venus.va.com.au/suggestion/sapir.html

The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis 'He gave man speech, and speech created thought, Which is the measure of the universe' - Prometheus Unbound, Shelley The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis as we know it today can be broken down into two basic principles: linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity Linguistic Determinism: A Definition Linguistic Determinism refers to the idea that the language we use to some extent determines the way in which we view and think about the world around us. The concept has generally been divided into two separate groups - 'strong' determinism and 'weak' determinism. Strong determinism is the extreme version of the theory, stating that language actually determines thought, that language and thought are identical. Although this version of the theory would attract few followers today - since it has strong evidence against it, including the possibility of translation between languages - we will see that in the past this has not always been the case. Weak determinism, however, holds that thought is merely affected by or influenced by our language, whatever that language may be. This version of determinism is widely accepted today.

175. Ricci: A Mathematica Package For Doing Tensor Calculations In Differential Geome A Mathematica package for doing tensor calculations in differential geometry and general relativity. http://www.math.washington.edu/~lee/Ricci/

Ricci A Mathematica package for doing tensor calculations in differential geometry Version 1.51 Last Updated June 28, 2004 Ricci is a Mathematica package for doing symbolic tensor computations that arise in differential geometry. It has the following features and capabilities: Manipulation of tensor expressions with and without indices Implicit use of the Einstein summation convention Correct manipulation of dummy indices Display of results in mathematical notation, with upper and lower indices Automatic calculation of covariant derivatives Automatic application of tensor symmetries Riemannian metrics and curvatures Differential forms Any number of vector bundles with user-defined characteristics Names of indices indicate which bundles they refer to Complex bundles and tensors Conjugation indicated by barred indices Connections with and without torsion Limitations: Ricci currently does not support computation of explicit values for tensor components in coordinates, or derivatives of tensors depending on parameters (as in geometric evolution equations or calculus of variations), although support for these is planned for a future release. Ricci also has no explicit support for general relativity, or for other mathematical physics or engineering applications, and none is planned. If you are interested in such support, I recommend that you consider the commercial package MathTensor, which is far more extensive than Ricci, and provides all these capabilities and more. MathTensor is available from

Anthropic-Principle ORG ... not exactly the stairway to heaven Don't Project The Big Bang produced numerous principles and laws that have yet to be broken in spite of a lot of projections and theoretical speculation about the eventual and final fate of the usable energy of our expanding universe. The inevitable heat death of the universe is one of the more obvious projections of an expanding "entropic" universe, but this conclusion doesn't completely justify the fact that the extremely small positive value of the cosmological constant means the big bang actually resulted in a near perfect balance between runaway expansion and gravitational recollapse, which actually puts the universe about as far away from the tendency toward heat death as you can possibly get, and yet still be heading in that direction. The principle of least action says that it is no coincidence that this near-perfectly symmetrical configuration is also the most energy-efficient means for dissipating energy, because this means that tendency toward "heat-death" is most economically restricted to the most-even distribution of energy possible. The universe actually expresses a grand scale natural preference toward the most economical form of energy dissipation, so if the second law of thermodynamics is telling us that the entropy of our expanding universe increases with every action, then the anthropic principle is telling us that this will occur by the most energy efficient means possible, since the flatness of the universe is one of the many coincidentally ecobalanced requirements of the principle.

Next The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis From George Orwell's The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis theorizes that thoughts and behavior are determined (or are at least partially influenced) by language. If true in its strongest sense, the sinister possibility of a culture controlled by Newspeak or some other language is not just science fiction. Since its inception in the 1920s and 1930s, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis has caused controversy and spawned research in a variety of disciplines including linguistics, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and education. To this day it has not been completely disputed or defended, but has continued to intrigue researchers around the world. Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf brought attention to the relationship between language, thought, and culture. Neither of them formally wrote the hypothesis nor supported it with empirical evidence, but through a thorough study of their writings about linguistics, researchers have found two main ideas. First, a theory of linguistic determinism that states that the language you speak determines the way that you will interpret the world around you. Second, a weaker theory of linguistic relativism that states that language merely influences your thoughts about the real world. Edward Sapir studied the research of Wilhelm von Humboldt. About one hundred years before Sapir published his linguistic theories, Humboldt wrote in
