About the book
Emergent Gravity, Quantum Condensates, and the Infinite Universe
This book critically re-examines some of the fundamental assumptions underlying modern astrophysics and cosmology, with particular emphasis on black holes, compact objects, gravity, and the structure of the universe. It combines physical arguments, mathematical analysis, numerical modelling, and observational evidence to investigate whether gravitational collapse must necessarily lead to singularities and classical black holes.
Alternative models based on ultra-compact quantum condensates and emergent gravitational behaviour are developed and discussed in relation to neutron stars, pulsar glitches, supermassive compact objects, and cosmological observations. The book also introduces the concept of an infinite parent universe in which the observable Big-Bang domain represents only a finite region. Historical, philosophical, and methodological questions concerning the relationship between mathematics, physical reality, and cosmological interpretation are considered throughout. The book is intended for advanced students, researchers, and scientifically interested readers.
The book is intended for advanced students, researchers, and scientifically interested readers in the fields of nuclear matter, superfluidity, vacuum condensates, computational astrophysics, cosmology, the history of astronomy, and the philosophy of science.
The book examines the physics of ultra-dense matter, superfluidity, vacuum and quantum condensates, pulsars, neutron stars, and alternatives to classical black-hole models. It discusses how matter may behave under extreme densities and gravitational conditions and explores possible observational consequences.
The book critically revisits the foundations of modern cosmology and gravitational theory, including the Big Bang, black holes, emergent gravity, cosmic expansion, and the possibility of an infinite parent universe. Mathematical, computational, historical, philosophical, and selected theological perspectives are considered together.
The book discusses pulsars and neutron stars, with particular attention to glitch phenomena, superfluid interiors, angular-momentum transfer, and the long-term evolution of compact objects. Alternative interpretations of observed compact astrophysical systems are also examined.
A central theme is the role of numerical and computational methods in astrophysics and cosmology. The book addresses how mathematical modeling, relativistic hydrodynamics, and numerical simulations can be used to test physical assumptions and explore strongly gravitating systems.
The historical development of astronomy and cosmology is traced from early geocentric and heliocentric concepts to modern relativistic cosmology. Particular attention is given to the contribution of Arabic and Islamic scholarship to the development of astronomical knowledge.
The book reflects on the relationship between mathematics, physical reality, scientific interpretation, and the limits of current theories. It also considers selected philosophical and theological questions concerning the origin, structure, and meaning of the universe.
