Is there a connection between “dark” and “light” physics?
- Physics
- 2017
In the early-mid 20th century Dirac and Zel’dovich were among the first scientists to suggest an intimate connection between cosmology and atomic physics. Though a revolutionary proposal for its…
Supersymmetric Cosmology and Dark Energy

Abstract: Using the superfield approach we construct the n= 2 super-symmetric lagrangian for the FRW Universe with perfect fluid as matter fields.The obtained supersymmetric algebra allowed us to take…
The minimum mass of a spherically symmetric object in D-dimensions, and its implications for the mass hierarchy problem
- Physics
- 2015
The existence of both a minimum mass and a minimum density in nature, in the presence of a positive cosmological constant, is one of the most intriguing results in classical general relativity. These…
Generalised uncertainty relations from superpositions of geometries

Recent observations of the dark energy density demonstrates the fine-tuning problem and challenges in theoretical modelling. In this study, we apply the self-similar symmetry (SSS) model, describing…
Does space-time torsion determine the minimum mass of gravitating particles?

The existence of quantum spin imposes a lower bound for spinning particles, which almost exactly reproduces the electron mass, in the spin-generalized strong gravity model for baryons/mesons.
The QCD mass gap and quark deconfinement scales as mass bounds in strong gravity
- Physics

Abstract
We consider the astrophysical and cosmological implications of the existence of a minimum density and mass due to the presence of the cosmological constant. If there is a minimum length in…
Preliminary Note on the Masses of the Electron, the Proton, and the Universe

In an investigation which I hope to publish shortly, I think I have been able to improve my theory of the constant hc/2πe2 and to bring it at last into a precise form. No alteration is made in the…
Observational Evidence from Supernovae for an Accelerating Universe and a Cosmological Constant
