Contemporary physics relies extensively on mathematical formalisms to describe natural phenomena, often achieving remarkable predictive success. However, the relationship between mathematical description and physical explanation remains a subject of ongoing debate. In many cases, mathematical models are treated not only as tools for representation but also as implicit substitutes for the underlying physical mechanisms, which can obscure questions of causality and physical origin.This article examines this methodological issue using two fundamental physical phenomena—gravity and the tunneling effect—as representative examples. Both phenomena are commonly described by highly successful mathematical frameworks, namely general relativity and quantum mechanics, yet their physical interpretations remain incomplete or debated. The work argues that predictive accuracy alone does not necessarily constitute a full physical explanation and that mathematical consistency should be complemented by physically grounded mechanisms based on observable properties of matter and interaction.Alternative descriptions of gravity and the tunneling effect are proposed, grounded in experimental observations and established physical properties of matter at macroscopic and microscopic scales. These descriptions aim to clarify the physical processes underlying the phenomena while remaining compatible with empirical data. The proposed framework does not reject existing theories but seeks to supplement them by addressing conceptual gaps related to causality, physical mechanism, and interpretation. Such an approach may contribute to a more physically transparent understanding of fundamental phenomena and provide new directions for theoretical and applied research.

Based on the physical idea that "mass is energy with added dimensions", this paper explores how spacetime curvature contributes to the effective mass of photons from the perspective of combining general relativity and quantum mechanics by constructing a photon motion model in curved spacetime. It is proven that when a photon is confined within a characteristic scale in a strongly curved spacetime, its energy can manifest as an equivalent mass, which is directly related to the spacetime curvature tensor and the constraint scale. This paper provides a new theoretical perspective for understanding the acquisition of effective mass by photons.

This paper proposes a phenomenological, physically motivated interpretation of gravitation aimed at addressing conceptual gaps related to physical mechanism, causality, and microscopic origin of gravitational interaction. While contemporary theories of gravity, including general relativity, provide mathematically consistent and empirically successful descriptions, they do not explicitly specify the physical processes underlying gravitational interaction.The proposed framework is based on established electromagnetic and structural properties of matter on microscopic and macroscopic scales. Gravitational interaction is interpreted as a manifestation of collective electrodynamic processes occurring within matter, associated with time-dependent electric and magnetic field configurations generated by charged constituents. The approach is not intended to replace geometric descriptions of gravity, but to complement them by introducing an explicit physical interpretation consistent with known properties of matter and interactions.The work is conceptual in scope and focuses on physical interpretation rather than on the development of a new mathematical formalism. It aims to provide a physically transparent perspective on gravity that may serve as a foundation for further theoretical refinement and experimental investigation.

Transient near-field phenomena are traditionally studied as isolated effects, each addressed within its own theoretical or experimental framework. In many electromagnetic measurement systems—including near-field imaging, such transient responses are routinely averaged out, filtered, or actively minimized in favor of stable, quasi-stationary field configurations.This paradigm draws together a wide range of transient near-field phenomena, organizing them by their qualitative characteristics into a coherent framework ,introducing concepts such as "Nearfield Stickiness". The presented concepts are articulated to suggest novel ways in which near-field energy dynamics could be harnessed to infer local electromagnetic characteristics, and are subsequently sublimated into perspective through various hypothetical scenarios and an Original analogy: Formation of Electromagnetic Waves as soap-film Bubbles.Treating transient near-field phenomena as a qualitative coherent whole, rather than as a collection of isolated effects, opens the door to exciting alternative interpretations and exploratory imaging strategies, as it suggests that the induced collapse of fields generated by metamaterial antennas —— fed with incomplete longer wavelength excitations that the ones currently used for its respective applications—— may enable meaningful access to qualitative information rooted in local electromagnetic properties of areas interacting with the field at the moment of collapse;complementing existing systems in areas such as effective range and selective interacting beyond obstacles.

Does gravity care about electric charge? Precision tests of the weak equivalence principle achieve remarkable sensitivity but deliberately minimize electric charge on test masses, leaving this fundamental question experimentally open. We present a minimalist framework coupling electromagnetism to linearized gravity through conservation of a complex charge-mass current, predicting charge-dependent violations $Delta a/g = kappa(q/m)$. Remarkably, this prediction occupies unexplored experimental territory precisely because precision gravity tests avoid charge variation. We identify this as a significant gap and propose a modified torsion balance experiment where $q/m$ is treated as a controlled variable. Such an experiment could test whether gravitational acceleration depends on electric charge, probing physics in genuinely new parameter space. This work exemplifies how theoretical minimalism can reveal overlooked opportunities in fundamental physics.

Faraday’s law is empirically derived and, as such, may be subject to limitations. Notably, it appears to violate the law of conservation of energy in certain contexts. To establish a more robust formulation, it is necessary to derive the law from first principles. In this article, we theoretically derive Faraday’s law using only Coulomb’s law and special relativity. We present the first stage of this derivation: the construction of the 'Progressing Electric Field Model.' This model determines the curl of the electric field produced by moving charges and calculates the electric potential induced in a wire loop within that field.

This report is devoted to the main additions (i.e., modifications) to Einstein's general theory of relativity, which led to the creation of the "Hierarchical Cosmological Model" based on a fully geometrized vacuum physics from the standpoint of the Algebra of signature [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. This project is aimed at implementing the Clifford-Einstein-Wheeler program for the complete geometrization of physics.

Newton’s third law is examined within the Newtonian framework under realistic interaction conditions, extending its applicability to real-world systems relevant to contemporary theoretical and experimental investigations. The law asserts the equality and simultaneity of action—reaction force pairs. Newton primarily applied the law qualitatively in Principia, illustrating it through three examples involving macroscopic interactions. Simple rebound experiments show that spherical bodies can retrace their original line of fall and rebound to comparable heights under suitable conditions, whereas asymmetrical or flat bodies exhibit reduced rebound heights and oblique rebound trajectories. The original formulation neglects several interaction-dependent factors, including material properties of bodies, rotation, spin, orientation, contact geometry, and deformation during interaction. Consequently, the law is treated as independent of these factors and is therefore held universally. In horizontal motion the characteristics of the surface are also significant. Motivated by the above qualitative experimental trends and supported by historical and conceptual analysis, a generalized form of Newton’s third law is proposed in which the reaction force is modified or extended by dimensionless coefficients accounting for shape, composition, target surface, and other interaction parameters, and expressed asReaction (FBA) = − [Kshape × Kcomposition × Ktarget × Kother] Action (FAB)The generalized form reduces to the original form under suitable conditions of parameters and provides an experimentally testable framework for quantitative confirmation at the macroscopic level. Over time, applications of Newton’s third law have been extended to diverse systems, including aerodynamics and aerospace propulsion, each of which requires separate quantitative analysis.

Inspired by Mach’s philosophical standpoint, Einstein constructed the theory of special relativity, which has been shown to be reliable both theoretically and experimentally. However, the negative conclusion regarding the absolute equivalence of relatively moving inertial frames, as suggested by the twin paradox thought experiment, has not been explicitly reflectedat the level of physical theory. The present work attempts to address this issue and includes the following investigations:(1) a reconsideration of the ether problem; (2) derivations of the mass—energy relation and centrifugal acceleration based on an ether contraction framework; (3) a heuristic interpretation of the invariance of the speed oflight and inertial forces. It is hoped that this work may offer some conceptual insight to readers interested in this problem.
