Non Commutativity, Fluctuations and Unification

We point out that in the non commutativity and breakdown of conventional spacetime at micro scales lies the seed to the unification of gravitation and electromagnetism.Comment: 10 pages, Te

Observation of Spin Wave Soliton Fractals in Magnetic Film Active Feedback Rings

The manifestation of fractals in soliton dynamics has been observed for the first time. The experiment utilized self-generated spin wave envelope solitons in a magnetic film based active feedback ring. At high ring gain, the soliton that circulates in the ring breathes in a fractal pattern. The corresponding power frequency spectrum shows a comb structure, with each peak in the comb having its own comb, and so on, to finer and finer scales.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Issues and Ramifications in Quantized Fractal Space Time: An Interface with Quantum Superstrings

Recently a stochastic underpinning for space time has been considered, what may be called Quantized Fractal Space Time. This leads us to a number of very interesting consequences which are testable, and also provides a rationale for several otherwise inexplicable features in Particle Physics and Cosmology. These matters are investigated in the present paper.Comment: 27 pages, TeX, This is from the forthcoming book The Chaotic Univers

The Emergence of the Planck Scale

In this paper we first observe some interesting parallels between Planck scale considerations and elementary particle Compton wavelength scale considerations, particularly in the context of Wheeler's space time foam and a space time arising out of a stochastic random heap of elementary particles discussed in previous papers. These parallels lead to a semi qualitative picture which shows how the short lived Planck scale arises from the Compton wavelength considerations.Comment: 9 pages, Te

The Unification of Electromagnetism and Gravitation in the Context of Quantized Fractal Space Time

The attempts to unify electromagnetism and gravitation have included the formulations of Herman Weyl and the Kaluza Klein theory with the fifth dimension. More recently there have been fruitful attempts in the domain of Quantum Superstrings and the author's formulation in terms of Quantum Mechanical Kerr-Newman Black Holes. Though all these appear to be widely divergent approaches, they are shown to have a unified underpinning in the context of quantized fractal space time.Comment: 8 pages, Te
