A Non-Polynomial Gravity Formulation for Loop Quantum Cosmology Bounce
Galaxies, 2017 Recently the so-called mimetic gravity approach has been used to obtain corrections to the Friedmann equation of General Relativity similar to the ones present in loop quantum cosmology.

Harrison's interpretation of the cosmological redshift revisited [PDF]
, 2009 Harrison's argument against the interpretation of the cosmological redshift as a Doppler effect is revisited, exaggerated, and discussed. The context, purpose, and limitations of the interpretations of this phenomenon are clarified.

The Heythrop Journal, EarlyView.Abstract We argue here that bringing insights from evolution and bioengineering to bear on traditional accounts of divine providence helps to illustrate just how complex providence is and how difficult it is to achieve. While other non‐human animals might exhibit greater agency in creation and its evolutionary development than has traditionally been ...

The simplicity of physical laws
Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.

Similarity accounts of counterfactuals: A reality check1
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.Abstract To an unusual extent, philosophers agree that counterfactuals have truth conditions involving the most similar possible worlds where their antecedents are true, in the style of the celebrated and path‐breaking Stalnaker/Lewis accounts. Roughly, these accounts say that the counterfactual if A were the case, C would be the case is true if and ...

DeWitt boundary condition is consistent in Hořava-Lifshitz quantum gravity
Physics Letters B, 2022 In quantum cosmology the DeWitt boundary condition is a proposal to set the wave function of the universe to vanish at the classical big-bang singularity.

Generalized non-local R 2-like inflation
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 The R 2 inflation which is an extension of general relativity (GR) by quadratic scalar curvature introduces a quasi-de Sitter expansion of the early Universe governed by Ricci scalar being an eigenmode of d’Alembertian operator.

Place as a Metaphysical Problem in Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas
Modern Theology, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 292-310, April 2025.Abstract Thomas Aquinas’ particular synthesis of Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism, and the intellectual tradition it inaugurated, has at least twice faced critical challenges from developments in physics. Besieged by the sixteenth and seventeenth century novatores and more or less ignored by the nineteenth‐ and twentieth‐century practitioners of ...

Living Reviews in Relativity, 2004 The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the "brane") embedded in a 1+3+$d$-dimensional spacetime (the "bulk"), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract Current observations show that a significant fraction of the Universe is composed of dark energy and dark matter. In this paper, the simultaneous effects of these dark sectors on the Euler–Heisenberg black hole are investigated, using the quintessence matter field and perfect fluid to model them. In particular, the black hole's thermodynamics,
