Einstein-Podolsky-Rosens paper in 1935 is discussed in parallel with an EPR experiment on $K^0bar{K}^0$ system in 1998, yielding a strong hint of distinction in both wave-function and operators between particle and antiparticle at the level of quantum mechanics (QM). Then it is proposed that the CPT invariance in particle physics leads naturally to a basic postulate that the (newly defined) space-time inversion (${bf x}to -{bf x},tto -t$) is equivalent to the transformation between particle and its antiparticle. The evolution of this postulate from nonrelativistic QM via relativistic QM till the quantum field theory is discussed in some detail. The Klein paradox for both Klein-Gordon equation and Dirac equation is also discussed. Keywords: CPT invariance, Antiparticle, Quantum mechanics, Quantum field theory

In our previous arXiv papers (The Information and the Matter, v1, v5; more systematically the informational conception is presented in the paper The Information as Absolute, 2010) it was rigorously shown that Matter in our Universe - and Universe as a whole - are some informational systems (structures), which exist as uninterruptedly transforming [practically] infinitesimal sub-sets of the absolutely infinite and fundamental set Information. Such a conception allows not only to clear essentially a number of metaphysical and epistemological problems in philosophy but, besides, allows to suggest a reasonable physical model. Since Matter in Universe is an informational system where any interaction between Matters sub-structures, i.e. - particles and systems of the particles - happens always as an exchange by exclusively true information between these structures, the model is based on the conjecture that Matter is some analogue of computer. The conjecture, in turn, allows to introduce in the model the basic logical elements that constitute the material structures and support the informational exchange - i.e. the forces - between the structures. The model is experimentally testable and yet now makes be more clear a number of basic problems in special relativity, quantum mechanics, and, rather probably, in [now - in Newtonian] gravity.

The largest gap in our understanding of nature at the fundamental level is perhaps a unified description of gravity and quantum theory. Although there are currently a variety of theoretical approaches to this question, experimental research in this f ield is inhibited by the expected Planck-scale suppression of quantum-gravity effects. However, the breakdown of spacetime symmetries has recently been identified as a promising signal in this context: a number of models for underlying physics can accommodate minuscule Lorentz and CPT violation, and such effects are amenable to ultrahigh-precision tests. This presentation will give an overview of the subject. Topics such as motivations, the SME test framework, mechanisms for relativity breakdown, and experimental tests will be reviewed. Emphasis is given to observations involving antimatter.
Geometry of hypersurfaces defined by the relation which generalizes classical formula for free energy in terms of microstates is studied. Induced metric, Riemann curvature tensor, Gauss-Kronecker curvature and associated entropy are calculated. Speci al class of ideal statistical hypersurfaces is analyzed in details. Non-ideal hypersurfaces and their singularities similar to those of the phase transitions are considered. Tropical limit of statistical hypersurfaces and double scaling tropical limit are discussed too.

We acuminate the idea of a final theory of physics in order to analyze its logical implications and consequences. It is argued that the rationale of a final theory is the principle of sufficient reason. This implies that a final theory of physics, pr esumed such a theory is possible, does not allow to incorporate substantial (non-trivial) propositions unless they are logically or mathematically deduced. Differences between physics and mathematics are discussed with emphasis on the role of physical constants. It is shown that it is logically impossible to introduce constants on the fundamental level of a final theory. The most fundamental constants emerging within a final theory are constants of motion. It is argued that the only possibility to formulate a final theory is necessarily a tautology: A final theory of physics can only be derived from those presumptions about reality that are inherent in the idea and practice of physics itself. It is argued that a final theory is based on the notion of objectivity, but it is logically impossible that an ideal final theory supports realism.
A comprehensive introduction to the theory of the solar neutrino problem is given that is aimed at instructors who are not experts in quantum field theory but would like to incorporate these ideas into instruction of advanced undergraduate or beginni ng graduate students in courses like astrophysics or quantum mechanics, it is also aimed at the inquisitive student who would like to learn this topic on their own. The presentation assumes as theoretical preparation only that the reader is familiar with the basics of quantum mechanics in Dirac notation and elementary differential equations and matrices.
