[en] The question of the existence of gravitons is no nearer a solution especially so since there is a lack of concrete evidence of the detection of gravitational waves. Attention is here drawn however to a theory postulated by the present author (Aspden. The Theory of Gravitation. 1st Ed. Sabberton (1960)) which relies upon the analysis of a cubic lattice structured space and which explains gravitation electrodynamically and relates the constant of gravitation G directly with a particle (termed the graviton) of mass energy 2.587 Gev. It is felt that while the discovery of the graviton is awaited from experiments sensitive to gravitational effects, fundamental researches in fields unrelated to gravitation are converging upon the basic quantum of 2.587 Gev predicted from this theory of gravitation.

[en] The process by which deuterons adsorbed into a palladium cathode combine to generate heat energy is enhanced under the control of an electrical current flowing around an all-metal circuit including the cathode. This current is an A.C. current very much greater than the ionic anode-cathode current involved in deuteron adsorption. It causes adsorbed deuterons to excite fusion-triggering vacuum energy fluctuations when traversing field boundaries inside the cathode in the presence of a strong electron counterflow. Deuterium may be absorbed into the cathode by electrolysis or by corona discharge. (author)

[en] Scalar field theories require the refractive index of empty space to diverge from unity. First-order divergence is analyzed using the Fresnel formula. There is no divergence for an observer in linear motion with the space frame. (author)

[en] Photon emission from a cubic lattice in the resonant cavity of an electron implies a specific symmetry in particle grouping involved in boson creation. On this theory the W+- boson at 82.0 GeV is the only proton-based resonance state between 40 GeV and 130 GeV, and the Z⁰-boson found at 96 GeV implies the exsistence of the long-predicted 2.587 GeV primary constituent of the subquantum medium which mediates in gravitational interaction

[en] Predictions from the author's recent alternative explanation of the apparent time dilation evidenced by meson lifetimes suggest that the dilation of life-time observed should be lower than that indicated by special relativity if the tests are made at low enough energies.Reported experimental data supporting this proposition are discussed

[en] If the West-East speed of a laboratory, owing to its rotation about the Earth's axis (some 350 m/s at 40₀N), shows up in speed-of-light anisotropy measurements confined within the laboratory, then it is submitted that this would clearly refute Einstein's theory. Given such an experimental result, test apparatus otherwise fixed to the Earth and so constrained to share its acceleration, could, in principle, be replaced by similar aparatus caused to rotate once a day in the opposite sense and subjected to vertical acceleration of approx. 3 cm/s₂ for test periods commensurate with the small time it takes for light to traverse an optical test circuit. Such an applied motion will ensure that the system is compensated to satisfy the zero acceleration requirement of Einstein's hypothesis. Now, there is no logical way in which one can argue that the 350 m/s detection can be eliminated owing to these acceleration effects. On the contrary, the logic of relativity argues that the 350 m/s speed cannot be detected in either situation. The laws of physics and speed-of-light measurements have to be the same for systems in relative non-accelerated motion. If 350 m/s difference in light speed is sensed and this cannot be connected with gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface or the Earth's centrifugal acceleration without dependence upon Earth radius, then Einstein's theory stands disproved.

[en] Alternative explanations for free-electron diamagnetism appear paradoxical and inconsistent with the reactive induction properties of magnetic materials. It is shown that the paradox can be eliminated by a generalized definition of the magnetic field with interesting spin-off consequences, including a justification for the anomalous doubling of the positron's effective mass in a free-electron environment

[en] It is shown that a cavity-resonance model by which the muon/ electron mass ratio was recently determined as 206.7683078 yields also a muon g-factor of 2(1.001165918), both of these quantities being in accord with their measured values

[en] The author's structures space model by which the fine-structure constant and the proton/electron mass ratio have been determined is now shown to contain a very rarefied disordered matter state, whose free-electron population of approximately 10^-27 Kg/m³ presents a scattering cross-section limiting the visible universe to the measured range of 10¹⁰ light years
