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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
