UP academic develops a new theory that will change our understanding of the universe A new multidisciplinary scientific theory that may hold the key to understanding the secrets of the early universe is the outcome of 12 years of research by Prof Mohsen Sharifpur, an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. This theory also provides a perspective of the future of our universe.
One of the questions he has been tackling relates to the origins of the dark energy that causes galaxies to accelerate. He believes that none of the existing theories on the origin of the universe have been able to adequately answer this question. His theory, known as the Source and Sink Theory, is rooted in his desire to find answers to unanswered questions. By applying a multidisciplinary research approach, he believes that his theory may be able to answer these questions. Based on his studies, he has found that – in nature – everything occurs in binary or opposite pairs, such as male and female, electrons and positrons, bipolar magnetic poles, matter and anti-matter. If there is a hot object, the heat will transfer to a cooler object by natural convection. These and other pieces of evidence could be samples of universal patterns, which help us to propose a new theory for the origin of the very early universe. Therefore, if we follow these patterns that are present in nature, and if a “Big Bang” did indeed result in the existence of the universe, we need to ask ourselves what its opposite partner is.
IN NATURE, EVERYTHING FOLLOWS A PATTERN, LIKE THE FLUID FLOW PATTERN IN FLUID MECHANICS. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THE THEORETICAL BASES OF FLUID DYNAMICS, CONSTRUCTAL LAW AND PATTERNS IN NATURE LIKE THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE AND FRACTAL GEOMETRY, BUT WHAT WE KNOW OF THESE FIELDS SEPARATELY IS NOT ENOUGH TO ANSWER SOME OF THE MOST PRESSING QUESTIONS OF THE UNIVERSE. PROF SHARIFPUR BELIEVES THAT THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS MAY STEM FROM A UNIVERSAL LAW IN FLUID DYNAMICS, WHICH HAS APPLICATIONS IN COSMOLOGY.
