Egresado de la Universidad Michoacana como pasante en Ciencias Fisico-Matemáticas.
Algo que marcó mi vida fue la impartición de la cátedra Fundamentos de la Ciencia en la Facultad de Filosofía en la misma Universidad, lo que me permitió la visualización de un universo diferente basado en el Materialismo Dialéctico.
Con la aplicación de las tres leyes de la dialéctica se figura un universo discordante del universo del Big Bang, un universo...

Joshua S. Bloom is associate professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley.
A brief, cutting-edge introduction to the brightest cosmic phenomena known to science
Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest-and, until recently, among the least understood-cosmic events in the universe. Discovered by chance during the cold war, these evanescent high-energy explosions confounded astronomers for decades. But a rapid series of startling breakthroughs...

This book by a Nobel Laureate provides the foundation for analysis of stellar atmospheres, planetary illumination, and sky radiation. Radiation transfer has been investigated as a phenomenon of astrophysics, and it has attained wider interest because of similar problems in the theory of neutron diffusion. Suitable for students and professionals in physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and atmospheric studies.

Fundamentals of Living and Non-Living Universes addresses the most fundamental law that governs the known non-living universe and its extension into the living universes. The author discusses major misconceptions regarding both realms. He introduces three major concepts for the first time:
Infinity wall, which argues with an ever-expanding universe theory that is currently widely accepted in scientific society
Law of spontaneity, which describes...

A Leading Figure in the Development of the New Cosmology Explains What It All Means
Among his peers, Alex Vilenkin is regarded as one of the most imaginative and creative cosmologists of our time. His contributions to our current understanding of the universe include a number of novel ideas, two of which-eternal cosmic inflation and the quantum creation of the universe from nothing-have provided a scientific foundation for the possible existence...

This book advances a number of conjectures describing gravitational and inertial interactions and time dilation. A model is described that explains the gravitational and inertial interactions in a form that unlike geometric models depends on the exchange of particles. Time dilation has been defined as the decrease in the rate of flow of time in a frame moving with respect to an outside observer. In contrast to this definition, this book characterizes...

Hurlburt Effect depicts the effect of total mass of unobservable space on quantum levels and radiation of the astrophysics big bang hole on the unobservable universe and the localized, observable big bang and observable universe. There were major shifts in mass and density of the structures of the earlier, larger unobservable universe with the unobservable universe's later, smaller big bang. The most surrounding space is the big bang hole which caused...

To advance a model describing attributes of nature, we are free to claim properties of the model that we believe support those attributes. Absent real experiments we can perform thought experiments to evaluate whether the assumed properties of the model support the attributes we're attempting to model. At the same time, we must consider alternative models that may also support those attributes. Our model is not validated unless we can invalidate the...

The aim of this book is to provide a more efficient way to calculate and predict orbits and trajectories, not only for celestial bodies, but also for artificial satellites we send outside our atmosphere, and for ballistic. The equations presented here might also help improve weather forecasts and perhaps predict atmospheric behavior more precisely. Nowadays, we know that gravity is an electromagnetic (EM) wave of atomic origin caused by a kind of...
