Career
Research and publishing
Current research emphasis is to explain certain fundamental particle masses, magnetic moments, charge generation, and charge radii from a novel quantum vortex formalism—based on the circular Unruh effect, general relativity, and quantum electrodynamics. The circular Unruh effect is derived from quantum field theory.
This research incorporates the effects of event horizons, which are ignored in the standard model of particle physics. The modeled event horizons naturally connect to general relativity without the need for renormalization or additional hidden dimensions.
