It's almost impossible not to gaze into the night sky and wonder at the size and complexity of the universe. How did so much come to be?
For some, the answer lies in a steady-state cosmology in which the universe, ever expanding, maintains a constant density with matter continuously being created as one way exit from black holes. Black holes are found to be gates to the other dimensional universe that exists in parallel with our own.
The big bang theory, in contrast, posits that the universe began in a state of high density and extreme heat 13.7 billion years ago. But while the big bang describes the universe's development, it fails to answer a pressing question: where did this intensely dense matter and heat originate?
Evolution of the Universeoffers a new paradigm by which the universe's creation and development can be easily understood. Combining elements of the big bang and steady-state theories, Professor Ghassan Hanna Halasa offers an intriguing solution to the problems inherent in both theories-beginning with the building block of creation itself: the overheated hydrogen tom.
At the time of the big bang, a particle at the speed of light, splits into an electron and a proton with equal and opposite momenta; the electron picks a speed faster than the speed of light, while the proton comes to rest. The two particles, in an effort to return to their ground state, they attract each other (explaining the electro-static attraction) and stop at a fixed distance (explaining the atomic radius). The seed of the electron in orbit was calculated and found to be in the order of Bohr's speed. Einstein once said: "I have a deep faith that the principles of the universe will be both simple and beautiful. At its heart, Halasa's theory is simple enough for those with only a passing familiarity with physics to understand, yet profound enough that it could change how we view the creation, evolution, and the universe's continued development.
About the Author: Professor Ghassan Hanna Halasa was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1944. He earned his BSc in Physics in 1970 from Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky.
Halasa went on to obtain both an MSc and PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Missouri, Columbia. A professor of electrical engineering at the University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan, Halasa was a 2004 Fulbright Scholar.
