Hardback. Proposes solutions to the impasse and crisis facing fundamental physics and cosmology. This work describes a cosmological model based on fuzzy spacetime that has correctly predicted a dark-energy-driven acceleration of our expanding universe - with a small cosmological constant - at a time when the popular belief was quite the contrary. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 204 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PH. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 232 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 1030.
