Gravitational Machines. (arXiv:2305.10470v1 [gr-qc])   from  physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org  by  Freeman J. Dyson Fri May 19 2023 09:37:27 (1 day) # 1. A gravitational machine is defined as an arrangement of gravitating masses from which useful energy can be extracted. It is shown that such machines may exist if the masses are of normal astronomical size. A simple example… Read more →

The cosmological frame principle and cosmic acceleration. (arXiv:2304.12733v1 [gr-qc])   from  gr-qc updates on arXiv.org  by  Spiros Cotsakis, Jose P. Mimoso, John Miritzis Wed Apr 26 2023 08:57:12 (2 days) # 7. We discuss cosmological implications of the frame principle which states that physics is independent of frames. We show that there are frame-independent solutions that are globally stable, suggesting… Read more →
