Physical consequences of black holes in non-perturbative quantum gravity and inflationary cosmology
, 2011 In this thesis the consequences of the presence of a Schwarzschild black hole in de Sitter space are studied in the setting of non-perturbative quantum gravity and in inflationary cosmology.

, 2016 The advent of sensitive high-resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation and their successful interpretation in terms of the standard cosmological model has led to great confidence in this model's reality. The prevailing attitude

Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mental privacy is a growing concern as neurotechnologies and digital mental health tools collect and process sensitive brain‐related data. In South Africa, cultural and religious diversity adds complexity to protecting mental privacy, with traditional healing practices, communal decision‐making, and spiritual beliefs influencing mental health ...

Is Planckian Discreteness Observable in Cosmology?
UniverseA Planck scale inflationary era—in a quantum gravity theory predicting discreteness of quantum geometry at the fundamental scale—produces the scale-invariant spectrum of inhomogeneities with a very small tensor-to-scalar ratio of perturbations and a hot big bang leading to a natural dark matter genesis scenario. Here, we evoke the possibility that some

Observational Constraints on Loop Quantum Cosmology
Physical Review Letters, 2011 In the inflationary scenario of loop quantum cosmology in the presence of inverse-volume corrections, we give analytic formulas for the power spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations convenient to compare with observations. Since inverse-volume corrections can provide strong contributions to the running spectral indices, inclusion of terms higher ...

Nonhuman Pedagogical Relations: Towards Conceptual Limits
Educational Theory, EarlyView.Abstract This article considers the pedagogical relation as a relation to a nonhuman educator, wherein the educatee is a member of the Homo sapiens species. My aim is to clarify the extent to which a nonhuman‐human relation can be understood as pedagogical.

Romano Guardini and Cornelio Fabro on Kierkegaard's Christian Humanism
The Heythrop Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how Søren Kierkegaard's theological anthropology furnished resources for reconstructing Christian humanism among mid‐twentieth‐century Catholic thinkers. Focusing on Romano Guardini (1885‐1968) in Germany and Cornelio Fabro (1911‐1995) in Italy, I demonstrate how each thinker creatively appropriated Kierkegaard's ...

The Heythrop Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Efforts to understand unfamiliar philosophical and religious traditions are often constrained by hermeneutical limitations rooted in the dominance of Western conceptual frameworks. This paper advances embodied hermeneutics as a general model for intercultural understanding—one that grounds interpretation in lived and material expressions of ...

The expanding Universe: a primer on relativistic cosmology
, 2015 Cosmology - the science of the Universe at large - has experienced a renaissance in the decades bracketing the turn of the twenty-first century. Exploring our emerging understanding of cosmology, this text takes two complementary points of view: the ...
