My work takes systems apart to find the assumptions they rest on, then tests whether those assumptions hold. In physics, that meant the first mechanical failure criterion for black holes, a proof that CMB blackbody preservation does not require metric expansion, and a demonstration of observational degeneracy across classical cosmological tests, putting static universe models back on the table after a century of dismissal. In defense, it meant showing that attrition economics, not doctrine, is pushing humans out of exposed combat roles.

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.

The work spans physics, defense, philosophy, and education. No institution. No funding. Just the work. Twenty years of formal education and self-directed training.
