New paper published on cosmological singularities

My new paper has now been published in Annalen der Physik, which is a great honour, because 100 years ago, Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity was also published in the same journal. This paper describes a method by which one is able to determine whether a given spatially flat cosmological model produces finite-time singularities, and […]

On The Acausality of Heat Propagation

In many physics and chemistry courses, one is typically taught that heat propagates according to the heat equation, which is a parabolic partial differential equation: , where is the thermal diffusivity and is material dependent. Note also, we are considering the one-dimensional case for simplicity. Now, let be a solution to this problem, which represents […]
