An Explanation for the Equality between Inertia and Gravitational Mass
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 2017, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
The mechanism causing the equality of inertia and gravitational mass of a body, which was demonstrated experimentally by Eotvos in 1909 is still unexplained although this equality is the basis of Einsteins General Theory of Relativity (GTR). Using consequences of GTR, this paper explains why the inertia mass is equally to the gravitational mass. The two masses are equal because the mechanism that produces the inertia ˜force of a body is the same with the 'mechanism' that produces the gravitational force of the same body.

Surface Electromagnetic Waves at a Single Interface of Superconductor and Left-Handed Materials
The wave propagation characteristics along the single interface of superconductor and left-handed materials are investigated theoretically. An expression for the complex permittivity of a superconductor is derived in the...
Magnetic Solution
While deriving the magnetic energy solution an explanation of mass and an explanation of charge were found. Also a reason for failure to find a magnetic monopole was given. It was found that all known particles can be ac...

Brain Interconnections
The interaction brain-machine is now an indissoluble fact. The repercussions this fact will have in future are presently unimaginable. As mentioned in [1] the nerve axon can now be modeled by a cable or a planar high spe...
NEW MODEL OF ATOM
In this research paper I have proposed a new model of the atom. Though it sounds, atomic physics is a closed research area since a century ago. But I have discovered some problems in the existing model of atom. In this m...
