On the Use of Relativistic Mass in Various Published Works

Starting with El Naschie's ideas of complex conjugate time the inverse Lorentz transformation of time rate is extended onto an internal gravity (artificially induced accelerations) and then expanded onto an external gravitational field. This result raises the total number of physically identifiable distinct dimensions to six. It also implies that the physical reality we live in looks like abstract multispatial geometric structure composed of several single 3D spaces. This conclusion suggests that there are few more physical dimensions to be uncovered. In such a multispatial hyperspace any particle pictured as a point in linear vector space could be viewed as a string or even as a surface in a space that is dual to the primary one.

On conjugate complex time III: Superstrings and complex Lorentz transformation

The proposed paper presents the unobserved inadequacies in de Broglie's concepts of wave-particle duality and matter waves in the year 1923 The commonly admitted quantum energy or frequency expression h{\nu}={\gamma}mc2 is shown to be inappropriate for matter waves and is acceptable only for photons The superluminal phase velocity expression c2/\u{psion}, for matter waves, is investigated in detail and is also reported to be inadequate The rectifications in the inadequate concepts of de Broglie's theory and refinements in the analogy implementation between light waves and matter waves are presented, which provides the modified frequency and phase velocity expression for matter waves Mathematical proofs for the proposed modified frequency and phase velocity expression are also presented In accordance with the proposed concepts, a wave-particle duality picture is presented which elucidates the questions coupled with the wave-particle duality, existing in the literature Consequently, particle type nature is shown to be a characteristic of waves only, independent from the presence of matter The modifications introduced in the frequency expression for matter waves leads to variation in the wave function expression for a freely moving particle and its energy operators, with appropriate justifications A new relation between the Kinetic energy and Momentum of the moving body is proposed and is subsequently applied to introduce novel General and Relativistic Quantum Mechanical Wave Equations Applications of these equations in bound state quantum mechanical systems provide the information regarding particle's general and relativistic behavior in such systems Moreover, the proposed wave equations can also be transformed into Schrodinger's and Dirac's equations The interrelation of Schrodinger's, Dirac's and proposed equations with the universal wave equation is also presented

Wave-Particle Duality Revitalized: Consequences, Applications and Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

The classic image problem in electromagnetism involves a grounded infinite conducting plane and a point charge. The force of attraction between the point charge and the plane is identified using an equivalent-field picture of an image charge with opposite sign equidistant behind the plane resulting in a 1/{\it r}$^{\rm 2}$ force of attraction between the original charge and the plane. If the point charge is released from rest it will reach the plane in a time $\tau$. This time $\tau$ has not been calculated correctly up to now. Clarification of the inconsistency is presented along with a correct solution to the classic image problem. Other electromagnetism problems are mentioned with attractive 1/{\it r}$^{\it n}$ forces (where {\it n} $\ge$ 1). Such situations arise between a point charge and a line charge (1/{\it r}), between a line charge and a point dipole (1/{\it r}$^{2}$), between a point charge and a point dipole (1/{\it r}$^{3})$, and between a point dipole and a second point dipole (1/{\it r}$^{4}$).
