From: Osher Doctorow on 5 Aug 2010 20:04 From Osher Doctorow Just as Relativity in Einstein's era (and largely afterward) appeared to involve the implicit assumption that the Macroscopic (especially Stellar system and larger) dominates the Microscopic systems, so Quantum Theory tends to involve the implicit assumption that the Micrsocopic dominates the Macroscopic. Yet Elementary Particle Physics, which has been responsible for most of the experimental results and tends to be looked upon as a guide by both Relativity and Quantum Theory, and Astrophysics which is a guide for most observational Macroscopic results, continue to reveal commonalities between the Macroscopic and Microscopic domains in Expansion and Contraction, including the Big Bang, Supernovae formation, Expansion and Acceleration of the Universe, Beta Decay, "Quantum Fluctuations," and so on. It is of course possible that these are all "coincidences", but if one side keeps regarding the results of the other side as "coincidences", then in legal language it begins to look as though "conflict of interest" may be involved. Theories tend to be supported by Bureaucracies, including clusters of Research Universities, but the latter also often have a "conflict of interest" in gaining Research Grants for their members from Governments and sometimes private industry and attract more researchers and even general students from awards that they obtain. An exception is Astrophysics, which tends to be so far from immediate Economic Manipulation or Economic-Political Manipulation that Bureaucrats tend to not be attracted to it. An example is: 1) Tsvi Piran, Racah Institute for Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, who has 185 papers in arXiv from 1992 (a year after arXiv began collecting papers) through 2010. Piran's papers tend to specialize in Astrophysics including Supernovae. Similar extremely Inventive research occurs also from the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study USA, some researchers in Canada's Perimeter Institute, the U. K. Cambridge University DAMPT, etc. I have mentioned one of Piran's papers before, but look at it again: 2) "On gravitational repulsion", arXiv: gr-qc/9706049 v1 16 June 1997, 10 pages. Also look at: 3) "Inhomogeneity in the supernova remnants as a natural explanation of the Pamela/ATIC observation" by Tsvi Piran and Nir J. Shaviv and Ehud Nakar, the first two at Rach Institute, the 3rd at Tel Aviv University Israel (I omitted writing down their arXiv dates and numbers). Also look at Wikipedia's "Beta Decay" online, Wolfram's "Chandrasekhar limit,", Wikipedia's "Semi-empirical mass formula," Wikipedia's "Supernova," Wikipedia's "Dark Matter," Wikipedia's "Neutrino" Wikipedia's "Radiation Pressure" (also automatically referenced by "Radiation Pressure"), etc. Crossing the Macroscopic-Microscopic "Divide", keep your eyes out also for: 4) Neutrinos as well as to some extent Neutralinos.

From Osher Doctorow I meant to say that "photon pressure" automatically references "radiation pressure" in Wikipedia. Also, a remarkable resulting relating to the 0.43 result and the 0.44-0.49 results of the recent posts here (regarding the Titius-Bode Law, Dermott's Law, the ratio of total neural myelinated fiber length of humans to the earth-moon and similar distances, is: 1) "Chandrasekhar limit," Wolfram (online) for a simple introduction. The Chandrasekhar Limit relates to white dwarfs, but also via main sequences stars between 3 and 8 solar masses in mass which under specified conditions can collapse to white dwarfs, and the latest results state: 2) mass of (relativistic) white dwarf = 1.44 times the mass of the Sun What relates this to 0.43 and 0.44 is (unmentioned by Wolfram): 3) mass of (white dwarf - mass of sun)/mass of sun = 0.44 which of course relates to both (Gravitational) Collapse and Supernovae which are respectively Contractive and Expansive.
