The ubiquity of coherent, microgauss-scale () magnetic fields across galaxy clusters, cosmic filaments, and pristine high-redshift systems presents an enduring conundrum in modern astrophysics. Standard cosmological magnetogenesis relies on the Biermann battery mechanism to gener...

Recent photometric and spectroscopic observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed a startling population of massive, luminous galaxies () and supermassive black holes () at redshifts , when the universe was only 300 to 450 million years old. These observati...

The statistically irreconcilable discrepancy exceeding between local late-time determinations of the Hubble constant (; SH0ES/HST) and early-universe measurements inferred from the Cosmic Microwave Background under CDM (; Planck) constitutes the most formidable observational cris...

The persistent flat rotation curves observed in spiral galaxies have remained one of the principal empirical crises of modern astrophysics, compelling the standard cosmological paradigm to invoke non-baryonic Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos that have eluded direct laboratory detecti...

Predicting and mitigating catastrophic plasma disruptions remains the primary operational imperative for magnetic confinement fusion devices, including ITER and future power reactors. While classical single-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) enforces strict local magnetic solenoida...

The quest to unify mechanics, electrodynamics, and gravitation into a single, cohesive framework has driven theoretical physics for over a century. Classical physics and modern field theory rest upon pillars forged by visionary pioneers. Without Sir Isaac Newton’s formulation of...

Modern high-energy physics, anchored by the Standard Model and facilities such as CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), successfully catalogues elementary particles and gauge interactions. However, the framework relies heavily on abstract quantum fields, phenomenological confinemen...
