A relativistic trolley paradox
Matvejev, Vadim; Matvejev, Oleg; Grøn, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)We present an apparent paradox within the special theory of relativity, involving a trolley with relativistic velocity and its rolling wheels. Two solutions are given, both making clear the physical reality of the Lorentz ... -
A solution of the Mitra Paradox
Grøn, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The “Mitra paradox” refers to the fact that while the de Sitter spacetime appears non-static in a freely falling reference frame, it looks static with reference to a fixed reference frame. The coordinate-independent nature ... -
An interesting consequence of the general principle of relativity
Grøn, Øyvind; Jemterud, Torkild (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-12)We show that Einstein s general theory of relativity, together with the a ssumption that the prin- ciple of relativity encompasses rotational motion, predicts that in a flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson- Walker (FLRW) ... -
Atmospheric and Ocean Dynamics May Explain Cycles in Oceanic Oscillations
Seip, Knut Lehre; Grøn, Øyvind (Climate;Volume 7 / Issue 6, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-29)What causes cycles in oceanic oscillations, and is there a change in the characteristics of oscillations in around 1950? Characteristics of oceanic cycles and their sources are important for climate predictability. We here ... -
Bianchi type-I universe model with nonlinear viscosity
Mostafapoor, Nouraddin; Grøn, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-08-23)In this paper we study the evolution of spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I Universe models with the cosmological constant, Λ, and filled with nonlinearviscous fluid. The dynamical equations for these ... -
Carbon dioxide precedes temperature change during short-term pauses in multi-millennial palaeoclimate records
Seip, Knut Lehre; Grøn, Øyvind; Wang, Hui (Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology;Volume 506, 1 October 2018, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-19)In Antarctica, ice-core temperature has traditionally been regarded as a leading variable to carbon dioxide, CO2 during the last 400,000years before present (B.P.). This finding is in contrast to most reports on global ... -
Celebrating the centenary of the Schwarzschild solutions
Grøn, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Journal article, 2016)This article is a celebration of the centenary of Schwarzschild’s presentations of his external and internal solutions describing spacetime outside and inside an incompressible, spherically symmetric body. I ... -
Consequences of the improved limits on the tnsor-to-scalar ratio from BICEP/Planck, and of future CMB-S4 measurements, for inflationary models
Grøn, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)More than 30 inflationary models are confronted with the recently improved limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio presented by the Planck team. I show that a few more models are falsified due to this sharper restriction. ... -
Cycles in oceanic teleconnections and global temperature change
Seip, Knut Lehre; Grøn, Øyvind (Theoretical and Applied Climatology;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-11)Three large ocean currents are represented by proxy time series: the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).We here show how proxies for the ... -
Different representations of the Levi-Civita Bertotti Robinson solution
Grøn, Øyvind; Johannesen, Steinar (The European Physical Journal Plus;128, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-04-23)The Levi-Civita Bertotti Robinson (LBR) spacetime is investigated in various coordinate systems. By means of a general formalism for constructing coordinates in conformally flat spacetimes, coordinate transformations ... -
The discovery of the expansion of the universe
Grøn, Øyvind (Galaxies;Volume 6, Issue 4, Journal article; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-03)Alexander Friedmann, Carl Wilhelm Wirtz, Vesto Slipher, Knut E. Lundmark, Willem de Sitter, Georges H. Lemaître, and Edwin Hubble all contributed to the discovery of the expansion of the universe. If only two persons are ... -
Electrodynamics of Radiating Charges
Grøn, Øyvind (Advances in Mathematical Physics;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The theory of electrodynamics of radiating charges is reviewed with special emphasis on the role of the Schott energy for the conservation of energy for a charge and its electromagnetic field. It is made clear that the ... -
Entropy and gravity
Grøn, Øyvind (Entropy;14, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-12-04)The effect of gravity upon changes of the entropy of a gravity-dominated system is discussed. In a universe dominated by vacuum energy, gravity is repulsive, and there is accelerated expansion. Furthermore, inhomogeneities ... -
Exact Solutions of the Field Equations for Empty Space in the Nash Gravitational Theory
Aadne, Matthew Terje; Grøn, Øyvind (Universe;Volume 3, Issue 1, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-14)John Nash has proposed a new theory of gravity. We define a Nash-tensor equal to the curvaturetensorappearingintheNashfieldequationsforemptyspace,andcalculateitscomponents for two cases: 1. A static, spherically symmetric ... -
Generalizations of the Levi-Civita-Bertotti-Robinson spacetime
Grøn, Øyvind; Johannesen, Steinar (The European Physical Journal Plus;129(10), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-22)The Levi-Civita-Bertotti-Robinson (LBR) solution of Einstein's field equations may be interpreted to describe spacetime in a region without matter outside a charged spherical domain wall. In the present paper we investigate ... -
Gravitational Entropy and Inflation
Elgarøy, Øystein; Grøn, Øyvind (Entropy;15 (9), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-04)The main topic of this paper is a description of the generation of entropy at the end of the inflationary era. As a generalization of the present standard model of the Universe dominated by pressureless dust and a Lorentz ... -
Leading the game, losing the competition: identifying leaders and followers in a repeated game
Seip, Knut Lehre; Grøn, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)We explore a new method for identifying leaders and followers, LF, in repeated games by analyzing an experimental, repeated (50 rounds) game where Row player shifts the payoff between small and large values – a type of ... -

Seip, Knut Lehre; Grøn, Øyvind (Theoretical and Applied Climatology;2015, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-20)We apply a novel method based upon “before” and “after” relationships to investigate and quantify interconnections between global temperature anomaly, GTA, as response variable, and greenhouse gases, CO2, and total solar ... -
The North Atlantic oscillations: cycle times for the NAO, the AMO and the AMOC
Seip, Knut Lehre; Grøn, Øyvind; Wang, Hui (Climate;Volume 7, Issue 3, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-19)We show that oceanic cycle lengths persist across oceanic cyclic time-series by comparing cycles in series that come from “sister” measurements in the North Atlantic Ocean. These are the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO), ... -
