EDITOR Jhepgc,

Background as far as Research modus operandi

1. Using Torsion and black hole theory to derive bounds to the cosmological constant as a value to DE in the early universe
2. Using tokamak physics in order to simulate early universe primordial black hole production and gravitons from both a heavy (non-zero mass) and classical (spin 2 massless ) standpoint
3. Derivation of a HUP (Heisenberg Uncertainty principle) for primordial physics conditions
4. Replace the string theory baby universe hypothesis, i.e the paradigm that only a few universes would exist to the present era with a multiverse generalization of the Penrose CCC hypothesis, via use of a partition function of the Universe hypothesis generalized for N coexistent universes, each with the same set of cosmological parameters, i.e. h bar and Gravitational constant

Here are a few publications outlining these ideas
