Internal motion of a non-rigid molecule and its relation to the reaction path

TL;DR: In this paper, the Eckart-Sayvetz and Hofacker-Marcus conditions for separation of large and small-amplitude motions are discussed and a local equivalence between them and geodesic coordinates is proved.
Journal ArticleDOI

From Newton's laws to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation

TL;DR: In this article, the ideas of Newtonian cosmology worked out by Milne and McCrea are explained at a level accessible to undergraduate students, and the cosmological constant is introduced within a Newtonian framework.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gravitational Field Equations and Theory of Dark Matter and Dark Energy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived new gravitational field equations with a scalar potential function using the Einstein-Hilbert functional and established a unified theory for dark energy and dark matter.

Transformations between inertial and rotating frames of reference

D G Ashworth, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1979 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of relating measurements made in an inertial (laboratory) frame to measurements in a rotating frame is attacked through the derivation from first principles of the appropriate transformation equations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relativistic precession of the orbital perihelion revisited

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of the precession of the orbital perihelion predicted by the theory of general relativity is revisited and a new relation for the angular precession is obtained in terms of a Keplerian or Newtonian ellipse parameters: the eccentricity e and the semi-major axisa.
