Mexican astrophysicist from Chihuahua, Dr. Leticia Corral, just caught the attention of the entire scientific community around the world by correcting Stephen Hawking on his hypothesis of the universe’s origin. For this, Corral presented a mathematical model, which apparently proves that Hawking’s mistake was to not take time's asymmetry into consideration. “I believe that the universe is cyclical; that it all started from one point and returns to it,” she explained.

The International Association of Engineers recognized Dr. Corral for her work. “This prize is like a recognition to my spirit; it makes me feel like my thoughts go further than time and space,” she said. “It’s for doing what I love and am passionate about, every day.” However, the piece was initially written for Entropy magazine, which rejected it, but Corral was convinced her work was correct so she approached the Association.

4. Really nothing new - Hindu Wheel of Time

Kalachakra, 'wheel, or circle, of time,' is the symbol of perfect creation, of the cycles of existence. Time and space are interwoven



the process of creation is cyclical and never ending, it "begins to end and ends to begin".

Western science is just catching up to Eastern philosophy

Or will the Audubon Society be the next "recognize" this work?

The only thing that seems to be in existence regarding this so-called correction is a paper printed as part of a conference volume - a paper that seems to have been turned down by either a humanities journal or an online journal....?

If one actually wanted to publish a real article on general relativity and quantum mechanics, there are plenty of real physics journals to which her paper could have been submitted for review.

8. Model to Predict the Lowness of Entropy at the Big Bang with Relativistic Equations

Here's the PDF paper

Abstract—In this work it is proposed a metric to modeling a certain kind of the “lowness” of entropy that must have existed in the past with the objective of know if it is equivalent to the state of high entropy of the present, taking into account the gravitational clumping of matter both for the singularity at the
big bang, as for a black hole.

The state of low entropy as a very special case of the Big Bang singularity (gravitational clumping of matter), supported by the Penrose´s Weyl curvature hypotesis ( Penrose´s WCH), is

studied here by developing a standard metric to discuss whether it is possible to link to the also gravitational clumping of matter corresponding to a black hole in the classical phasespace volume (CPSV), placing such groupings in the same number of Hawking´s box and therefore, in the time.

It satisfies the Penrose's WCH detaching it from the classic phase-space volume (CPSV) that turns out to be inappropriate as WCH´s link that requires the second law of thermodynamics by the asymmetrical-time ingredient that presents the entropy
in the past and in the present.

It emphasizes the need to discover a mathematical space that allow us to obtain the link between WCH and CPSV with the combination of variables that represent the past, present, high and low entropy.
