General Physics explores the fundamental laws that govern everything from the tiniest subatomic particles to the vastness of the cosmos. This field serves as the bedrock for understanding how the universe operates, covering mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism without getting bogged down in overly specialized sub-disciplines. It is where the big questions about matter, energy, and force come together to explain the physical world around us.
At Gist.Science, we process every new preprint in this General Physics category as it arrives from arXiv, ensuring you never miss a breakthrough. For each paper, we provide both a detailed technical summary for experts and a plain-language explanation that makes complex ideas accessible to everyone. Below are the latest papers in General Physics, freshly summarized and ready for you to explore.
The author argues that adding a nonlinear component to Schrödinger's original equation can resolve the measurement and randomness problems, potentially explaining quantum phenomena through the wavefunction alone without the need for particles.
This study uses MCMC techniques to compare the Barboza-Alcaniz and logarithmic dark energy parameterizations against SNe Ia, DESI BAO, and Cosmic Chronometer data, finding both models consistent with observations while using statefinder diagnostics to distinguish their geometric behaviors.
This paper proposes a dark matter model consisting of a collisionless relativistic kinetic gas and demonstrates, through Planck 2018 CMB data analysis, that it is observationally consistent with the standard CDM model provided the particles' present-day velocity is sufficiently small.
This study utilizes a joint analysis of DESI, OHD, Pantheon Plus, and SH0ES data to constrain the oscillatory dark energy model, finding that while the cosmological constant remains consistent at the level, incorporating supernova data to alleviate the Hubble tension reduces the statistical indication for dynamical oscillations and reveals a systematic preference for higher matter density.
This paper proposes that the Hubble tension between early and late Universe measurements can be resolved by adopting a scale-invariant vacuum (SIV) model with a matter density of , which naturally reconciles the locally measured km/s/Mpc with cosmic microwave background data by accounting for scale invariance effects ignored in the standard CDM model.
This paper argues that the classical telegraph equations are fundamentally flawed because they rely on a discretized lumped-element model, and it proposes a corrected formulation called the "Trump Equations" derived directly from Maxwell's equations and Ohm's law.
This paper proposes an efficient geometric framework that reformulates scale symmetry as inversion symmetry to accurately compute Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimensions in discrete dynamical systems using significantly fewer iterations than standard methods.
This paper presents a formal theory that establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions a world must satisfy to permit the application of the scientific method.
This paper demonstrates that the antisymmetric Mueller generator serves as a universal algebraic kernel that encodes the angular-velocity vector driving tangential motion on both the Poincaré and Bloch spheres, thereby fully determining the geometric phase in classical polarization optics and quantum two-level systems.
This paper proposes the General Standard Model (GSM), a unified framework within Gravitational Quantum Field Theory that extends the Standard Model's gauge symmetry to incorporate all fundamental interactions and novel forces, thereby offering a comprehensive explanation for particle physics, cosmology, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
