Is the kinematics of special relativity incomplete
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics
- 29 September 1999
A thorough analysis of composite inertial motion
(relativistic sum) within the framework of special relativity leads to the conclusion
that every translational motion must be the symmetrically…
The Rest Mass of the Hydrogen Atom from First Principles
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics
- 25 November 1999
The rest mass of the hydrogen atom in its ground state is calculated from first physical principles and elementary geometric considerations.
Relativistic Quantitative Determination of the “Mysterious” Differences in the Hubble Constant
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics
- 20 January 2021
This
paper discusses the “Hubble constant measurement—mystery”. Independent
measurements of this cosmic parameter, referred to as H0 in abbreviated form, have all led to different
values, with the…
The Arrow of Time
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics
- 7 December 2000
It is shown that (special) relativistically dilated time is the vector sum of rest time and time induced by movement in three dimensional space exeeding the rest time component and that the first…
On the Origin of Time
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics
- 18 October 1999
Herein it is shown that mass and time in the rest frame as well as relativistically enlarged mass and dilated time in the moving frame are of like origin. This implies that the former are generated…
On Apparent Superluminal Motion in Astrophysical Jet Models
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics
- 15 February 2002
Astrophysical models developed to explain superluminal motion in beaming phenomena are shown to be incomplete and the correct kinematical expression in any case to predict projected velocities slower…
On the Probable Cause of the Discrepancies between Hipparcos and VLBI Pleiades Distance Measurements
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics
- 31 December 2014
It will show, a recent extension of special relativity on the grounds of a novel concept of velocity, which also predicts the speed of transversal motions on the plane of the sky to increase with…
Relativistic resolution of the “proton radius puzzle,” in association with the physical origin of the proton rest mass and time

Do Gravitational Fields Have Mass? Or on the Nature of Dark Matter
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics, Geology
- 4 November 1999
As has been shown before (a brief comment will be given in the text), relativistic mass and relativistic time dilation of moving bodies are equivalent as well as time and mass in the rest frame. This…
On the Physics inside a Closed, Static, Rotating Einsteinian Hypersphere in Due Consideration of the Galaxy
- Ernst Karl Kunst
- Physics, Geology
- 18 July 2014
Einstein’s weak
equivalence principle suggests that gravity and acceleration (centrifugal
force) are indistinguishable from each other and, therefore, equivalent. We
maintain that they are not…
