The Modified Theory of Central-Force MotionIOSR Journals
Everybody is in the state of constant vibration, since vibration is the cause of the entire universe.
Consequent upon this, a body under the influence of attractive force that is central in character may also vibrate
up and down about its own equilibrium axis as it undergoes a central-force motion. The up and down vertical
oscillation would cause the body to have another independent generalized coordinates in addition to the one of
rotational coordinates in the elliptical plane. In this work, we examine the mechanics of a central-force motion
when the effect of vertical oscillation is added. The differential orbit equation of the path taken by the body
varies maximally from those of the usual central- force field. The path velocity of the body converges to the
critical speed in the absence of the tangential oscillating phase.

Gravitational Blue Shift Confirms the New Phenomenon of the Vertical Aether F...IOSR Journals
In fact, the vertical position of Michelson-Morley experiment is not the only possible explanation for the new phenomenon of the vertical Aether flow into any mass or any fundamental building block. This paper shows, for the first time, that the cosmic blue shift due to a gravitational field is a direct consequence of the vertical Aether flow into any mass. The vertical Aether speeds of different stellar objects have been given, which suggest reclassifying the categories of black holes. To confirm the theory presented, new formulas for Doppler Effect in a gravitational field and its correlation with the time dilation, as derived from the General Relativity, has also been derived. The theoretical expressions corresponding to the two experimental results have been given. Also, a new prediction has been proposed, for the first time, to confirm the theories presented in this paper.

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10

REFERENCE FRAME
Any moving platform or a moving coordinate system which is used by an observer to measure a physical
quantity or to observe an event is called reference frame.
The measured value of a physical quantity depends on the reference frame of the observer, e.g. the
measured value of the speed of a train would be different for the two observers, one on the ground and
other inside a moving car. Thus it is essential to quote the reference frame of the observer along with the
measured value of a physical quantity to make the measurement meaningful.
Out of the infinite number of available reference frames that frame is considered to be most suitable
from where the given motion appears to be simplest.
Reference frames are characterized in the following two categories
Inertial Reference Frames
Reference Frames. These are the reference frames moving with constant velocity with respect to each other.
The observers in different inertial reference frames may obtain different numerical values for measured
physical quantities but laws of physics remain same for all observers in inertial reference frames.
Non-Inertial Reference Frames
would not hold if mass is variable (as in case of falling raindrops, rockets and particles moving with
relativistic speeds).
-Inertial
Reference Frames. The reference frames moving with uniform acceleration with respect to each other are
non-inertial.
LUMINIFEROUS ETHER
In practice, motion is always described in a relative frame of reference. Newton insisted that there must be
a fundamental reference frame which is in absolute rest and with respect to which all the motions must be
measured.
Moreover, Maxwell proved light to be an electromagnetic wave. Since waves require a material medium
for their propagation, it was supposed that there must also be a suitable medium to carry these
electromagnetic waves which travelled even through empty space between stars and Earth. This medium
was called as LUMINIFEROUS ETHER. As light waves are transverse waves and transverse waves require
shearing forces which can occur in solids only, ETHER must be a rigid solid pervading all space, empty or
otherwise.
MICHELSON - MORLEY EXPERIMENT
Object
The objective of the Michelson-Morley experiment was to determine velocity of earth around sun with
respect to stationary ether.
Apparatus

Theory
A beam of light from a monochromatic source S falls on a half silvered plate P placed at an angle of 45o
with respect to incident beam. The incident beam is partially reflected towards plane mirror M1 and partially
transmitted towards mirror M2 by glass plate P. After reflections at
plane mirror M1 and M2, the reflected and transmitted rays retrace
their path and enter into the telescope T. When seen through
telescope T, fringes are observed due to interference between rays
coming after reflections at mirrors M1 and M2.
In Michelson Morley experiment the interferometer is mounted on
earth such that its X - arm is parallel to the direction of motion of earth
around sun. Let the velocity of earth around sun with respect to
stationary ether is . Since apparatus is mounted on earth, it is also
moving with velocity with respect to ether.
In the experiment the distance of mirror M1 and
that of mirror M2 from plate P are kept equal i.e. in
figure
(say) (1)
With respect to the stationary ether, the relative
velocity of light travelling along PA will be ,
where is the velocity of light in free space. Similarly
the relative velocity of light travelling along AP will be
. Hence the time taken by light to travel from
P to A and back to P will be given by
Since ,
therefore (2)
Further, when seen at absolute rest, the apparatus appears to be moving with velocity along X-direction. In
this case, the ray travelling along Y - direction will strike mirror M1
If light takes time

This gives
i.e. (3)
Hence, the total time taken by the reflected ray in coming into the telescope after reflection at mirror M1

From Eqs. (2) and (4), it is clear that .
The time difference

(6)
This gives us the path difference between the two rays moving along X and Y arms. Now, if the apparatus is
rotated by about a vertical axis then X and Y arms interchange their positions and the path difference
becomes . Hence after a rotation of , the total path difference introduced between the two
beams is . Further, if corresponding to this path difference fringes shift in the field of view then
(7)
From the observed fringe shift , one can calculate velocity of earth with respect to stationary ether.
Result:
When the apparatus was rotated, practically no fringe shift was observed. The experiment was repeated at
difference places on earth and in different seasons but fringe shift could never be detected. Hence
Michelson - Morley experiment has a negative result.
Explanation of the result:
For negative result of the Michelson - Morley experiment there may be either of the following possibilities
1. There is nothing like ether. i.e. it is not possible for anything to come to absolute rest.
2. Earth drags with it the ether in its immediate neighborhood so that there is no relative motion
between earth and ether.
3. The arm of the interferometer parallel to direction of motion suffers a contraction, so that the path
difference between the interfering beams is always zero (length contraction: suggested by Lorentz
and Fitzgerald).
4. Einstein suggested that the velocity of light is absolute and it is independent of relative motion
between source and observer.
The two basic postulates of theory of relativity are
1. Principle of Equivalence
the laws of physics remain same in all inertial
reference frames
Explanation: This postulate expresses the absence of a universal frame of reference. If the laws of
physics had different forms for two observers in relative motion then from these differences it
would have been possible to determine that which of them is actually moving. But this distinction
does not exist in nature.
2. Absoluteness of velocity of light
The velocity of light is absolute and it is independent of the direction of motion as well as the relative
motion between source and observer.

According to this postulate (where is velocity of light

then, in view of the first postulate, each of the observers in the
two reference frames will claim to be at the center of the
wavefront noticing that the other one is shifting from the center,
i.e. for both the observers the velocity of light will be .

average life time of seconds and travel with a velocity of ( being velocity of light). �-
Mesons are produced at high altitudes at a height of about 10 km due to interaction with cosmic photons
and they are projected towards the ground. If length contraction and time dilation phenomena are not real
then the distance covered by �-Mesons in their life time will be
However, �-Mesons can be observed at sea level even though classically they can travel only 600 m distance
in their life time. Further, if length contraction and time dilation phenomena are real then 10 km distance as

Discussion:
1. At low velocities and hence
and from Eqs. (28) and (29) we have which is old classical formula.
2. When one of the velocities is , say then
Thus the relative velocity between two objects one of which is moving with velocity of light is equal
to velocity of light itself. This is in agreement with 2nd
postulate of special relativity.
3. From Eq. (29), the relative velocity between two photons moving towards each other may be
obtained by substituting as
RELATIVITY OF SIMULTANEITY

MASS ENERGY RELATION
According to theory of relativity, mass and energy are equivalent. A large amount of energy concentrated
- energy equivalence relation is
given by
where is the energy equivalent to mass and is velocity of light.
Proof:
We know that the force acting on a particle is defined as the rate of change of linear momentum i.e.
Since according to theory of relativity mass varies with velocity of the particle therefore
(43)
Let the force displaces the body of mass through a distance then increase in kinetic energy of
the body
Substituting for from Eq. (43)
i.e. (44)
Further, from mass transformation formula

Squaring both sides and simplifying we get
or
Differentiating above equation we get
or (45)
from Eq. (44) and Eq. (45)
(46)
which shows that a change in kinetic energy of the particle is directly related to a change in mass. Moreover,
when body is at rest we have , and kinetic energy and when body is moving its mass
is and kinetic energy is . Integrating Eq. (46) within these limits we get
or (47)
This is relativistic formula for kinetic energy. When the body is at rest the energy stored in the body is
which is called rest mass energy. The total energy of the body is the sum of rest mass energy and kinetic
energy. Hence
or (48)
Discussion:
1. Eq. (48) indicates that mass and energy are equivalent and they are inter-convertible.
2. The formula for kinetic energy reduces to the classical formula for as follows
or
Expanding right hand side by binomial theorem and neglecting higher terms as , we get
3. Eq. (48) forms the basis of all nuclear reactions like fission and fusion.

The linear momentum and from Eq. (49) we have
i.e.
or
Substituting in the second term on left hand side
i.e.
or
or (50)
Above equation gives relation between total energy, rest mass energy and linear momentum. It shows that
for a mass at rest when then . Further a particle with no rest mass i.e. can still have
linear momentum given by
Since therefore From Eq. (50)
or
i.e.
or
This gives relativistic formula for linear momentum in terms of kinetic energy of the particle. The first term in
right hand side is identical with the classical formula for momentum ( ). The second term may
be called relativistic correction term which reduces to zero at low velocities.
