Quantum Gravity 184.2: John D. Barrow of Cambridge U. on Varying Constants |
From Osher Doctorow
Under keywords "varying G" in arXiv, John D. Barrow of Cambridge
University U.K. occurs with 2 papers (1996 and 1997), and has a total
of 50 papers in arXiv including papers on Lorentz-violating fields,
Modified Gauss-Bonnet and Ricci tensor squared gravitation, inflation,
quadratic gravitation, f(R) gravitation, cyclic Universes, Godel,
varying constants and scalar fields, varying physical constants
(especially 2005, early 2006), De Sitter Space, etc.
A key factor in Barrow's work, arguably, is his Ph.D. in astrophysics
from Dennis Sciama of Oxford. Barrow is currently Professor of
Astronomy in Gresham U. IU.K. and Reserach Professor of Mathematical
Sciences at U. Cambridge.
I have remarked before that astrophysics is an interdisciplinary field
and arguably this aids "integration" (finding what is similar about 2
or more stimuli), as well as being a field that is less critical to
Materialism and hence less subject to political and other Bureaucratic
pressures.
Barrow and another Cambridge astrophysicist Neil Turok represent the
best of Cambridge University. Bureaucracy has not, unfortunately,
been so kind to some other faculty or personnel of either Cambridge
University or Cambirdge University Press, U.K., but that would take us
a bit too far afield now.

From Osher Doctorow
Bob, I recently started to skip to relevant sections depending on the
type of problem studied. Sections 184 and 185 cover roughly different
topics, usually indicated by the name of the first subsection, for
example the subject title of 184.0 or 185.0. I had to do this
because (a) my Quantum Gravity thread is a work in progress rather
than a finished work, and when I leave one Section I want to be able
to come back to it if I get additional ideas, and (b) I have various
computer storage and printing problems.
