Paradigm: Causal Randomness, Complete Wave Mechanics, and the Ultimate Unification
of Knowledge." arXiv (10/2/98).

Author claims that the natural unity of being is recovered within a universal
nonperturbative method leading to the dynamic redundance paradigm. He contends
that the discovered dynamic redundance leads to the universal, reality-based
concept of dynamic complexity and its permanently developing hierarchical structure,
alias the world. Its lowest levels give the causally complete mechanics of dynamically
quantized elementary fields, extending the double solution found by Louis de
Broglie. One obtains a physically complete solution for the 'mysteries' of quantum
mechanics, unifyng it with the extended, causal versions of relativity (emergent
space and time), quantum and classical gravity (dynamical mass), field theory
(electric charge and spin), particle physics, and cosmology.

Shows that if the space of physical states spanned by the wormhole wave functions
can be equipped with a Hilbert structure, such a Hilbert space must coincide
with that of the Lorentzian gravitational system under consideration.

Inflationary Cosmology makes the universe "eternal" and provides for
recurrent universe creation, ad infinitum—making it also plausible to assume
that "our" Big Bang was also preceded by others, etc. However, GR
tells us that in the "parent" universe's reference frame, the newborn
universe's expansion will never start. Our picture of "reality" in
spacetime has to be enlarged.

Cosmologies." arXiv (3/23/01).

Many cosmological scenarios envisage either a bounce of the universe at early
times, or collapse of matter locally to form a black hole which re-expands into
a new expanding universe region. Energy conditions preclude this happening for
ordinary matter in general relativistic universes, but scalar or dilatonic fields
can violate some of these conditions, and so could possibly provide bounce behaviour.

For more than seventy years physicists have appreciated that Nature's vacuum
is far from empty. The discovery of the Lamb shift in Hydrogen provided dramatic
verification of the reality of the quantum vacuum. The advent of gauge theories
has led us to believe that the physics of the vacuum is even richer, with the
possibility of instantons, vacuum phase transitions, vacuum defects (monopoles,
domain walls, cosmic strings and nontopological solitons), vacuum energy, and
degenerate vacua states (with different local realizations of the laws of physics).
Cosmology offers a unique laboratory for exploring the "physics of nothing.''
