Relativistic combination of non-collinear 3-velocities using quaternions

TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic combination of non-collinear 3-velocities has been studied in the context of unit quaternions, and a relatively nice result is reported.

Signature-Change Events, Trans-Planckian Physics and Quasi-Particle Amplification in Bose-Einstein Condensates

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore signature changing emergent geometries in a BEC; specifically analogues of signature change from Euclidean to Lorentzian regions, achieved via a change in atomic interactions from repulsive to attractive.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Twist

TL;DR: In this paper, Visser discusses a new approach to define angular momentum, which was recently published by Rizzi in Physical Review Letters. But angular momentum is not a fundamental concept in Newtonian physics.

Counterexamples to the maximum force conjecture

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on counter-examples to this conjecture, paying particular attention to the extent to which the counterexamples are physically reasonable and suggest that one should not put too much credence into any universal maximum force/maximum tension conjecture.
