Journal ArticleDOI
Black Holes and Gravitational Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical basis of black holes and some of the recent thinking on the subject are described and some recent claims to have detected black holes are discussed, and a discussion of the theoretical foundations of black hole detection is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the second law of thermodynamics
TL;DR: The second law of thermodynamics has two distinct aspects to its foundations: the first concerns the question of why entropy goes up in the future, and the second, of why it goes down in the past as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncertainty in quantum mechanics: faith or fantasy?
TL;DR: This article addresses the issue of quantum ‘uncertainty’ from a different perspective, raising the question of whether this term might be applied to the theory itself, despite its unrefuted huge success over an enormously diverse range of observed phenomena.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved test of frame-dragging, an intriguing phenomenon predicted by Einstein's General Relativity, obtained using 7 years of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data of the satellite LARES (ASI, 2012) and 26 years of SLR data of LAGEOS (NASA, 1976) and LAGE OSI and NASA, 1992, was reported.
