Astrophysics
Appearance
Astrophysics is the application of physics to astronomical objects — stellar structure and evolution, compact objects, and the energetics of galaxies. On this wiki the disputes concern the models applied rather than the observations themselves.
Topics disputed on this wiki
- Stellar energy sources, including proposals other than nuclear fusion.
- The interpretation of black holes and whether the objects so identified require a singularity.
- Plasma processes as an alternative to gravitational collapse — see Plasma Cosmology.
- Tests of modified gravitational potentials against stellar structure, as in Ioannis Iraklis Haranas's work.
