Entropy Balance in the Expanding Universe: A Novel Perspective (open access)

Entropy Balance in the Expanding Universe: A Novel Perspective

The article describes cosmic expansion as correlated with the standpoints of local observers’ co-moving horizons. In keeping with relational quantum mechanics, which claims that quantum systems are only meaningful in the context of measurements, the authors suggest that information gets ergodically “diluted” in our isotropic and homogeneous expanding Universe, so that an observer detects just a limited amount of the total cosmic bits.

Spatially Periodic Electromagnetic Force Field For Plasma Confinement and Control (open access)

Spatially Periodic Electromagnetic Force Field For Plasma Confinement and Control

In this article, a theoretical understanding is developed of the single-particle reflection properties of a force field, considering the incident charged particles to have a non-drifting, isotropic velocity distribution. Classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulations and analytical modeling are employed. The initiation of an experimental effort to study force fields is described.
