Selected Research Output
The Zero Entropy Framework (ZEF) A Pre-Geometric Order-Parameter Approach to Emergent Spacetime, Matter, and the Dark Sector
Author: Amit Kumar Singh
Affiliation: iMaven Astronomy Academy, Noida, India
Repository: Zenodo (Open Access)
Latest Version: v1.4 (2026)
This work presents a conservative, definitions-first theoretical framework exploring emergent spacetime and matter from a pre-geometric substrate. It is published as a standalone, test-facing technical note with explicit scope, assumptions, and versioned development.
The Birth Canal Problem: Why the Future of Human Space Habitation Remains Unborn
Author: Amit Kumar Singh
Affiliation: iMaven Astronomy Academy, Noida, India
Repository: Zenodo (Open Access)
Latest Version: v1.0 (2026)
The paper examines how rocket-centric spaceflight—while indispensable for access—imposes structural geometric, biological, and gravitational constraints that systematically select against long-term human habitats. These constraints compress scale, exclude artificial gravity at settlement-relevant dimensions, and force radiation to be tolerated through exposure budgeting rather than suppressed as an environmental condition.
Research Model & Ethos
iMaven Astronomy Academy operates as an independent educational institution. Research activities are conducted through self-initiated, collaborative, and open frameworks, without reliance on institutional grants or formal laboratory infrastructure.
This model enables intellectual independence, interdisciplinary exploration, and responsible scholarship aligned with education, inquiry, and humility.
“We do not claim truth; we walk toward it together.”
