For over a decade, I have been engaged in the exploration of fundamental physics through a framework I call Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM). This journey has been as much about questioning established paradigms as it has been about constructing a coherent, mechanics-based alternative.
Challenging the Prevailing
The path began with a critical examination of prevailing inconsistencies in physics—questions surrounding cosmic acceleration, antigravity phenomena, and the links between classical and quantum mechanics. Over the course of roughly seven years, I engaged in rigorous debate, analysis, and formulation of falsifiable counters to conventional models.
This period was characterized by intense conceptual scrutiny: testing ideas against observational data, reviewing literature across multiple disciplines, and identifying gaps where classical and quantum theories struggled to provide clarity. It was a phase of latent potential—what I now see as the conceptual equivalent of primordial energy (PEᴇᴄᴍ) in ECM terms.
From Concept to Proposal
Following this foundational phase, approximately three preliminary years were dedicated to consolidating these ideas into a coherent proposal. The work involved:
Defining negative apparent mass (−Mᵃᵖᵖ) to account for phenomena like antigravity and cosmic acceleration.
Establishing effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ) to reconcile gravitational interactions at both cosmic and quantum scales.
Introducing frequency-governed kinetic energy (KEᴇᴄᴍ) to explain energy transitions beyond motion alone.
These efforts culminated in publications and structured drafts, including my 2025 article “A Nuanced Perspective on Dark Energy: Extended Classical Mechanics”, which formalized ECM as a mechanics-rooted, cross-disciplinary framework.
Implementation and Beyond
Even with a robust proposal in hand, the work of bringing ECM into the broader discourse has just begun. Implementation involves:
Incremental integration into public platforms and reference resources, including Wikipedia.
Careful documentation of references, insertions, and methodological constitution to ensure reproducibility and transparency.
Continued refinement and application to unresolved phenomena like dark matter, black holes, and cosmic energy distributions.
This stage mirrors the transformation of conceptual potential into kinetic action—a deliberate conversion of theoretical energy into structured, observable impact.
Looking Forward
ECM is not a static theory; it is a long-term research trajectory. Its growth depends on continuous testing, refinement, and interaction with the scientific community. The journey illustrates that meaningful scientific progress requires patience, discipline, and rigorous adherence to principles of verifiability and neutrality.
Ultimately, the pleasure in this work is not personal recognition—it is the pure pursuit of understanding, performance, and development. For me, over 99% of this effort is dedicated to research itself, with only a fraction tied to personal satisfaction.
Conclusion
The path from counter-establishment to proposal, and from proposal to implementation, demonstrates that foundational physics is both a discipline of thought and a practice of persistence. ECM embodies this journey—transforming latent potential into structured knowledge, and setting the stage for future discoveries across classical and quantum domains.
