Implications of a search for intergalactic civilizations on prior estimates of human survival and travel speed [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We present a model where some proportion of extraterrestrial civilizations expand uniformly over time to reach a cosmological scale. We then ask what humanity could infer if a sky survey were to find zero, one, or more such civilizations. We show how the results of this survey, in combination with an approach to anthropics called the Self Indication ...

The Horizon of Future Intergalactic Travel
Research Notes of the AAS, 2023 Abstract I show that non-relativistic objects traveling in intergalactic space at an initial peculiar velocity v will traverse in the future of the LCDM cosmological model a maximum comoving distance of ∼(v/1.7H 0), irrespective of travel time, where H 0 is the Hubble constant.

Intergalactic Travel with MOND Rockets
Research Notes of the AAS, 2022 Abstract An attractive interpretation of MOdified Newtonian Dynamics as an alternative to dark matter, changes the inertia of matter at accelerations a ≲ a 0 ≈ 1.2 × 10−8 cm s−2. I show that if inertia is modified at low accelerations, this suppresses the exponential factor for the required fuel mass in low acceleration

Interactions of Cosmic Rays around the Universe. Models for UHECR data interpretation [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are expected to be accelerated inastrophysical sources and to travel through extragalactic space before hitting the Earth atmosphere.

, 2022 In extension to author’s previous work which was embedded in two poems included inside the book “Scientific Poetry” published by “notionpress” Chennai, India. The author extrapolates a theory of human revitalization through long walks and in extension, infinite loops of walks, which was the story of myths by let’s say Swami Prahlad’s long walks without

Intergalactic Travel and Riemann Hypothesis
, 2022 Immersing (not embedding) the figure-8 Klein bottle in the 3rd dimension + Imaginary time makes the 4th dimension both space and time (since the Klein is 2-dimensional, the statement in the file [in the section BITS AND TOPOLOGY] about a couple of two-dimensional Mobius strips uniting to form a three-dimensional figure-8 Klein bottle needs further ...

Towards a Fregean psycholinguistics
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract This paper is partly exegetical, partly systematic. I argue that Frege's account of what he called “colouring” contains some important insights on how communication is related to mental states such as mental images or emotions. I also show that the Fregean perspective is supported by current research in psycholinguistics and that a full ...

Power and the Aerial Sublime in Victor Pelevin
The Russian Review, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 582-598, October 2023., 2023 Abstract This essay distinguishes flight as a salient trope throughout multiple Pelevin texts: Omon Ra (1992), Chapaev and the Void (1996), Generation P (1999), Empire V (2006), and Love for Three Zuckerbrins (2014). It examines flight through the aesthetics of the sublime—classical, (post)‐Soviet, and postmodern.
