This book develops an original theory of the search for space objects, on which only crude orbital information is known. It uses a special principle to construct a plan for searching for such objects through optical or radar sensors. This principle maximally eliminates the loss of the sought-for object and provides an economical use of the resources used in the search. This book will be of great interest for astronomers-observers, space control services, space researchers, and students at technical universities.
This book presents an original theory for searching for space objects when only crude orbital information is known. It uses a special principle to construct efficient search plans that prevent the object’s loss and ensure an economical use of resources.

This book explores the possibility of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to solve one of the cosmos’ biggest mysteries: the nature of undetectable forms of matter, namely dark matter and dark energy, which make up 95% of the universe. The book describes the outcome of this quest in terms of an entangled ur-universe that admits no observer, and incorporates an extra dimension to encode space-time as a latent manifold. A cosmic engine fueled by dark energy that maintains the topology of the universe during its expansion, involving…
This book uses AI to explore the cosmos’ biggest mystery: dark matter and dark energy. It identifies a cosmic engine fueled by dark energy and presents a solution to the cosmological constant problem that has troubled physicists for decades.

This book proves that fields and particles are rotational changes of the points in a specific elastic medium called ‘ether’, in which its points are linearly immobile. Furthermore, it shows that the elasticity ether theory explains, in particular, gravitational attraction, electromagnetism interaction, electron spin, and nuclear reactions.

In this book, rotation dynamics of galaxies is described using coupled field equations for the gravitational and electromagnetic fields. Relativistic frame-dragging effect is one of the consequences predicted by the general theory of relativity for rotating masses. However, except for strong gravitational sources, the spacetime dragging is too weak to produce significant modifications around rotating astrophysical systems. Here it is shown that, in the case of gravitational and magnetic field coupling, the effects of magnetic field energy density are enhanced. An outward dragging caused by the coupled effect of the…
By coupling gravitational and magnetic fields, a normally weak relativistic effect is enhanced. This outward dragging increases the rotational velocities of galaxies, presenting important implications for the missing mass problem in galactic dynamics.

What is the world beyond the Planck scale that provides the minimum unit of the universe? The goal of quantum gravity is to reveal physical laws in such a world. There, quantum fluctuations of gravity become large, and what is called a background-free world where the concept of time and distance is lost shall be realized. The renormalizable quantum gravity introduced in this book offers a theory in which such a world is described by a certain conformal field theory and a deviation from there is handled as a perturbation.…
Quantum gravity seeks to reveal physical laws beyond the Planck scale, in a background-free world where time and distance are lost. This book introduces a renormalizable theory that helps us understand the history of the universe, from its birth to the present.

Stellar dynamics is an interdisciplinary field where mathematics, statistics, physics, and astronomy overlap. The approaches to studying a stellar system include dealing with the collisionless Boltzmann equation, the Chandrasekhar equations, and stellar hydrodynamic equations, which are comparable to the equations of motion of a compressible viscous fluid. Their equivalence gives rise to the closure problem, connected with the higher-order moments of the stellar velocity distribution, which is explained and solved for maximum entropy distributions and for any velocity distribution function, depending on a polynomial function in the velocity variables. On…
This book offers a statistical study and a dynamical approach to stellar systems. It explains and solves the closure problem for any velocity distribution, and applies these methods to describe the mixture of stellar populations in the Milky Way.

This book provides a brief, graduate level introduction to the topics of classical and quantum black holes. It also details examples of integrable systems and black holes’ spacetime in hidden symmetries, and resolutions to the black hole information paradox. More specifically, it presents an overview of the cutting-edge research regarding the mathematics of hidden symmetries, of black holes’ interiors, entanglement wedge reconstruction and minimal gauged 5-dimensional supergravity. It also presents novel supporting results pertaining to Kovalevskaya gyrostats spacetimes and other integrable models, a 5-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity result, fuzzball microstate…

Astronomy for Cloudy Nights
Eight Essays of Respite from Frustrating Skies
Comprising 8 essays, the present book provides respite reading for astronomers when skies are cloudy. Dealing with the science behind selected celestial topics in a semi-random way, it is educational, sometimes in humorous fashion. Anecdotes, poems and references to the general arts of literature, the law, paintings, and classical and pop music are included. Links of astronomy to the everyday spoken word are presented. All these can be appreciated by more general readers with an interest in making connections between science and the arts. The author became a Professional Practical…
Educational, humorous essays connecting astronomy to the arts—from literature to pop music. Autobiographical in places, it shares breathtaking stories of telescope observing around the world, from a childhood discovery to the high altitude of the Bolivian Andes.

Inside Out
Looking for Ourselves in Time and Space
This work is a new look at the age-old philosophical question of the “mind-body” duality. The author adeptly demonstrates that there is not really any conflict in the two seemingly opposing views. When it is realized that the universe is governed purely by physical laws, the supposed dichotomy dissolves. Inspired by his long-running exploration of the panorama of pop music, the author blends in references to song lyrics as he explains the ways in which the lives of human beings are inextricably tied to the larger, precedent world of planets,…
This work tackles the age-old mind-body duality, demonstrating the conflict dissolves when we realize the universe is governed by physical laws. Inspired by pop music, the author explores our ties to the cosmos and forecasts our future in time and space.

When Matter Became Mind
How the Universe Created Consciousness of Itself
This book is a scientific story that chronicles the origin and evolution of the mutually connected physical and mental aspects of our universe. This work examines, in an engaging way, two of the greatest mysteries in all of science and philosophy – the origin of the universe itself and the nature of human consciousness. The author invites the reader to travel with him mentally to ponder the deep question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” The author infuses memories of events in his own life to showcase the marvelous…

In all epochs of history, questions such as: What is our place in the universe, how did it all begin, can science describe everything, could we find a formula that describes everything, are we alone in the universe, have been asked. This book offers a journey into how our understanding of the world and the cosmos, has evolved. We begin with the myths of ancient civilizations, through philosophical approaches to the frontiers of modern physics. The reader is familiarized with both quantum physics and the general theory of relativity, without…
