He published this paper:

I stumbled on his article in my research and I thought that it was quite good, the math is a little over my head, but the people in my class shouldn't notice my ignorance.:biggrin:
He wrote a paper in the 90s describing a universe in which quantum fluctuations can cause "baby universes" to branch off of the original one. One of the babies then curved back around to the original branch by traveling back through time to form a CTC (Closed Timelike Curve)...
If you want to discover something new maybe you should read about flop transition manifolds, from what I hear the equations aren't able to be solved completely just yet, just through perturbation theory. There are still a lot of things to be explored in string theory, start studying that.
I certainly hope he's not a crank, or my reading his books would seem like a waste of time. ;)
So does anyone have opinions on his theories, because I find the idea of a fractal universe very beautiful. I'm going to give a presentation on some of his theories in my speech class, so some...
Hello, I'm new to this forum. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with J Richard Gott's theories of a self-creating universe. Are his arguments still valid today, I was told that there have been recent breakthroughs in detecting background radiation which have conclusively proven...
