Understand papers fast: claims, evidence, gaps, questions

360° Research Review

Global Research Forum curates short, readable reviews of research papers and big ideas — in simple language, so both scientists and non-technical readers can follow. The aim is Research for World Peace: not to reject science, but to encourage a more holistic science (in parallel with spirituality) by completing the picture with a 360° view.

You can search in two ways: Research Reviews (general science) and BK Reflections (themes like soul, karma, cycle, drama). Every review highlights what the paper claims (in plain words), what looks strong (evidence, logic, usefulness), what looks weak or uncertain (assumptions, missing steps, gaps). This way, the site becomes a practical guide for further research—not just reading papers, but improving them with better questions.

  • Cosmic evolution in a cyclic universe

    Original paper title: Cosmic Evolution in a Cyclic UniverseOriginal authors: Paul J. Steinhardt, Neil TurokDOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.65.126003Original paper link:[hep-th/0111098v2] Cosmic Evolution in a Cyclic Universe What the paper talks about This paper proposes that the universe is not a “one-time event” that started once and will end once. Instead, it suggests the universe behaves like a…

  • Time Travel Explained: The Real Science vs Popular Myths

    In this master piece, I summarize Einstein’s geometric view of gravity and highlight where popular explanations often mislead. The focus is not to “attack relativity,” but to remove distorted interpretations—especially around time travel and simplified visuals like the trampoline analogy. You should expect clear definitions, common misconceptions, and evidence-based boundaries on what relativity allows. Einstein’s…


  • A Common-Sense Look at Wave–Particle Duality

    This paper argues that a core quantum “mystery” may come from one basic misread: we treated different results under different test conditions as proof that a particle is wave and particle at the same time. From that single leap, many controversial ideas—like strong versions of superposition and “the observer creates reality”—became popular, and this paper…


  • No First Bang, No Final Death: A Cyclic Black Hole Framework for Cosmology

    Modern physics has achieved great successes in explaining the universe at both the cosmic and microscopic scales. The Standard Model of particle physics describes fundamental particles, and General Relativity describes gravity on cosmic scales. However, key mysteries remain unsolved. For instance, why is the universe expanding the way it is, with a mix of ordinary…


  • When Civilizations Fall, Souls Rise: Consciousness as the Last Hope for Peace

    Brahma Kumaris (BK) spiritual philosophy teaches that each person’s true identity is an eternal soul – “a sparkling tiny point of light”[1] – distinct from the transient physical body. The soul is described as incorporeal, changeless and timeless, endowed with inherent qualities like peace, purity, love, knowledge and bliss[1]. In this view, souls originate in…


  • Cyclic Time and Cosmic Measurement: What Light Can’t Fully Prove

    Modern physics treats light as an electromagnetic wave and particle that always moves at the same high speed  in vacuum. By definition c=299,792,458  m/s, and all forms of electromagnetic radiation (including visible light) travel at this speed in empty space[1][2]. This invariance of c is a cornerstone of Einstein’s theory of relativity, which says that…
