My work challenges foundational assumptions in cosmology and black hole physics using first-principles mathematics. I introduced the first mechanical failure criterion for black holes, proved CMB blackbody preservation does not require metric expansion, and demonstrated observational degeneracy across classical cosmological tests. My work put static universe models back on the table after a century of dismissal.

In 2026, Flexible Static Cosmology (FLSC) was launched as a program to bring static cosmology back into serious scientific consideration. Built on the K(t) redshift kernel, FLSC treats the universe as finite, with a geometry that can flex within limits rather than expand without bound. Redshift comes from a collisionless transport law that shifts every frequency by the same fraction, so the spectrum is preserved. The work spans physics, philosophy, and education. No institution. No funding. Just the math. Twenty years of formal education and self-directed training.
