A New Insight on Physical Phenomenology: a Review

After a brief digression on the current landscape of theoretical physics and on some open questions pertaining to coherence with experimental results, still to be settled, it is shown that the properties of the Deformed Minkowski space lead to a plurality of potential physical phenomena that should occur, provided that the resulting formalisms can be considered as useful models for the descrip-tion of some aspects of physical reality. A list is given of available experimental evidences not easy to be interpreted, at present, by means of the more established models, such as the standard model with its variants aimed at overcoming its descriptive limits; these evidences could be candidates to verify the predictions stemming from the properties of the Deformed Minkowski space. The list includes: anomalies in the double-slit-like experiments; nuclear metamorphosis; torsional anten-nas, as well as the physical effect of the "geometric vacuum" (as defined in analogy with quantum vacuum), in the absence of external electromagnetic field, when crossing critical thresholds of energy parameter values, energy density in space and energy density in time.

A review of experiments reporting non-conventional phenomena in nuclear matter aiming at identifying common features in view of possible interpretation

The purpose of the present paper is to clarify, as far as it is possible, the overall picture of experimental results in the field of non-conventional phenomena in nuclear matter published in scientific literature, accumulated in the last decades and still missing a widely accepted interpretation. While completeness of the collection of the experiments is not among the aims of the effort, focus is put on adopting a more comprehensive and integral approach through the analysis of the different experimental layouts and the different results, searching for common features and analogous factual outcomes in order to obtain a consistent reading of a lot of experimental evidences that appear, until now, lacking a classification in a logic catalogue which might be compared to a sort of building and not to a collection of single stones. Particular attention is put on the issue of reproducibility of experiments and on the reasons why such a limitation is a frequent characteristic of many experimental activities reported in published papers. This approach is innovative as compared with those already available in the scientific literature. In a synoptical table a comprehensive classification is given of the twenty experiments examined in terms of type of evidences that are ascertained by the experimenters in their published papers but are unexpected according to well established physical theories. Examples of such unexpected evidences (named also non-conventional or weird) are: excess heat generation, isotope production, reduction of radioactivity levels, and production of neutrons or alpha particles.
