Musings of a Neurologist

About the Book

This book is partially a continuation of my previous book, “New Ideas for a New Era”. In this book some of the ideas that were introduced in the previous book are expanded. An example of this is an expanded version of the new relativistic theory based on Newton’s second law for motion and how and why it is superior to Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity. Besides this, other ideas that were simply presented, without any proof in the previous book, a mathematical proof is given to show their correctness. An example of this is the mathematical proof for the equivalency of Dark Matter and Dark Energy with the consequence that if gravity exists then anti-gravity, mathematically, must also exist. The paper on a mathematical theory of the nervous system applies the new set theory introduced in the previous book. Aside from these, there are other papers that are completely new. Examples of these include the paper on the nature of Tachyon, the non-equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass of an object, with one of the consequences being that a photon can have zero inertial mass but non-zero gravitational mass. This will provide an explanation for the bending of light due to gravity without the need for the warping of the space-time continuum. I hope the reader will find these papers to be a quantum leap forward in our understanding of our Universe.

About the Author

I am a neurologist by profession. However, ever since I was fourteen years old, I have been passionate about mathematics and physics. I won the annual prize for mathematics when I graduated from high school and my nickname in high school was “Newton”, given to me by my fellow students. I did my bachelor in science in physics, with highest distinction and was awarded the annual Professor Abel’s Memorial Award for physics. After obtaining my degree in physics, I went into medicine and became a neurologist. I am a member of the National Physics Honor Society. I am also a member of the American Mensa Society. During my neurological training and as a practicing neurologist, physics remained as a hobby with me. I tried to keep up with the latest news in physics through the television programs and the popular science magazines, to the extent that was possible, given my extremely busy professional and family life. I always had many ideas in my mind regarding various branches of physics, especially cosmology, but I did not have the time to put them on paper and develop them into papers worthy of publication. By the Will of G-D, I was able to find some time now to develop some of those ideas and publish them as a book for the wider audience. I continue to practice as a neurologist and I live with my wife, Nadia, and two sons, Sohraab and Hyder in the State of New York.
