    A Solution to the Twin Paradox from Within the STR Without Invoking Accelerations
    (QuantumDream Inc., 2014-11) Nyambuya, G. G.
    This is the first instalment in a four part series, the aim of the work being to introduce absolute motion into Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity (STR). In the traditional treatment of Einstein’s famous twin paradox, it is argued that the stay at home twin will age more than the “travelling” twin and the asymmetry is attributed to the fact that the travelling twin’s reference system is not an inertial reference system during the periods of acceleration and deceleration thus making it “illegal” for the “travelling” twin to use the STR in their reference system, hence “resolving” the paradox altogether. From within the domains, confines and provinces of Einstein’s STR, we argue without considering the accelerations and decelerations, where we show that, indeed, it is the “travelling” twin that is younger at the point of reunion. This brings us to a point of admission that there is indeed a twin who really does the travelling and another that does the staying at home. Hidden within the labyrinth of its seemingly coherent and consistent structure and fabric, does Einstein’s STR imply absolute motion – we ask?

    Wave Equation in a Reactive Medium and the Origins of Inertia
    (2017) Nyambuya, G. G.; Musosi, G.; Dube, A.
    We herein derive an equation for a wave travelling in a reactive medium, that is to say, a medium which interferes with the travelling wave. The purpose of this derivation is to try and obtain new insights into the origins of the mass term appearing in the quantum mechanical Klein (1926) and Gordon (1926) equation. From the derived equation, it very strongly appears that one can safely entertain the idea that inertia may very will be a result of the interaction of space with the traversing quantum mechanical wave packet – the particle. Insofar as the generation of mass via the interaction with some all-pervading and all-permeating cosmic field, this idea of a reactive medium fits handin- glove with the Higgs mechanism which postulates a Higgs field which must fill all space and via the interaction of this Higgs field with matter, the inertia properties of matter are derived
