My name is Rob Oldershaw and for the better part of the last 30 years I have devoted myself to developing a new paradigm that views nature as an infinite discrete self-similar (i.e., fractal) system. To tell you the truth, I have not gotten much encouragement for my efforts, and in fact I am regarded as something of a bete noire by most scientists, but I am a remarkably stubborn and persistent fellow and so I refuse to give up what seems to me like such a beautiful idea.
The founder of this site, in his introduction, states that one of his motivating factors was the "fantasy" of this site leading to a fundamental discovery relating to fractals. The Self-Similar Cosmological Paradigm (see
www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw ) is my potential candidate for such a discovery. The latest "New Development" at that site offers serious observational evidence for a highly unique and possibly successful prediction of the nature of the dark matter by the SSCP. This issue: whether the dark matter is hypothetical subatomic particles or stellar-mass Kerr-Newman black holes, is of major importance. It will define which cosmological paradigm is on the right path, and which paradigms are not.
I am also highly interested in all natural phenomena, in applications of fractal modelling to nature, and currently, in the fascinating natural philosophy of Spinoza. I am also trying to understand what a discrete fractal model of EM phenomena looks like, but being more of a visual/conceptual person than a mathematical/analytical person makes that difficult. I like strong coffee and halfway decent cigars.
It's a Fractal World,
Rob
