Physics Research

My original area of research is fundamental physics. In physics I work on unifying Quantum Theory and General Relativity the two most successful fundamental theories that explain nature. Quantum theory explains the world of atoms and particles. General Relativity works at sizes bigger than the solar system, all the way to cosmic scales.These two theories are fascinating and also very strange, nevertheless are well tested. Unifying these two theories, requires developing a theory that deals with phenomenon at Planck scale(1.616252×10−35 m). But this has been quite unsuccessful because of conceptual incompatibility between these two theories, mathematical challenges, and lack of experimental clues.

There are many schools of thought in this area such as string theory, loop quantum gravity, twistor theory, etc. Loop quantum gravity and string theory are the most famous in these. Both loop quantum gravity and string theory have no experimental proof, but are ardently pursued by many. I worked on one of the offshoots of loop quantum gravity, called the spin foam models. In unifying general relativity and quantum theory, the main problems seem to be incompatibility in conceptual framework of each of these, and incompleteness in each of these. So I have started focusing on addressing these issues. I have recently released a research paper that provides much more general framework for unifying and completing the two conceptual frameworks. A website has been dedicated for this research. You can access it by clicking here: QSTAF.COM. QSTAF stands for Quantum Space Time and Fields.
