This article is written by Chigozie Ubani in celebration of the life
and works of Professor Amagh Nduka, who died on December 26, 2019 and will be
laid to rest in his hometown on Saturday March 21, 2020.
A fundamental theory is a theory that changes our view about the
universe. Its unifying synthesis joins two or more separate bodies of
established knowledge whose connection, at some deep levels, had not been previously
recognized. Observations confirm the predictions of a new theory. It may also
form the basis of the new theory. Theories also confirm observations, and, in
some cases, extend and generalize the observation.
One of Professor Amagh Nduka’s fundamental theories in science is the Geometrical (Absolute) Theory of Science.
This theory, called quantum
geometro-dynamics, is the Third
Revolution Science, and was published November 2012 in Applied Mathematics. This theory earned him the Google Scholar of
the year for 2012. The elements of this theory include the intellect and
non-classical mathematics (discrete geometry, partition and dimensionality
theorems and 4-operators – all invented by him). He also applied it in solving
some of the age-long problems that have confronted physicists for the past 100
years:
· A
formal theoretical determination of the mass of the neutrinos. As an application of the geometrical
theory, Professor Amagh Nduka gave a formal theoretical calculation of the mass
of the neutrinos. May we recall that the 2015 Nobel Prize in physics was
jointly awarded to Takaaki Tajita of the University of Tokyo and Authur B.
Mcdonald of Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada, for their discovery of
neutrino oscillation which shows that neutrinos have mass. But one question
stands out: between one who showed evidence of mass and another who gave a
theoretical calculation of the mass, which should be considered more important?
Also, if neutrino oscillation is an evidence of mass, should it not mean that
all objects that have mass should oscillate? A theoretical determination of the
mass of the neutrino well deserves a Nobel Prize. But the Royal Swedish Academy
of Science feigned ignorance. If this work, which was published in Applied Mathematics (February, 2013),
was such a mean feat, it would not have earned Professor Amagh Nduka the Google
Scholar of the year 2013 in the whole world.
· A
unified geometrical theory of field and particles. As an application of the geometrical theory,
Professor Amagh Nduka gave a unified geometrical theory of fields and
particles. This paper was published February 2014 in Applied Mathematics. It was also in this paper that he invented the
4-operator mathematics – a formal and elegant mathematics that unifies the
particle theory of Newton and the waves theories of Einstein and Dirac via the
invariant operator theory of classical physics.
· A
geometrical theory of weak and strong interaction. As an application of the geometrical theory,
Professor Nduka gave a geometrical theory of weak and strong interaction. This
theory was published February 2014 in Applied
Mathematics.
· A
geometrical theory of the structure of nuclei, atoms and molecules. As an application of the geometrical theory,
Professor Nduka gave a geometrical theory of the structure of nuclei, atoms and
molecules. This theory was published August 2014 in Applied Mathematics, and gave a formal quantum treatment to
many-particle atoms and nuclear systems – an area where the available treatment
methods, the Schrodinger and Dirac based approximation method, have failed to
yield correct results.
· A
formal theory of fusion.
As an application of the geometrical theory, Professor Amagh Nduka gave a
formal theory of fusion, which was published in April 2015 in Energy and Power Engineering. May we
recall that for almost 80 years, Bethe’s theory of fusion has been in force,
and despite generous infusion of resources, both human and material, all
attempts at its realization have failed. One is therefore left with no option
than to conclude that the theory is wrong. Professor Nduka’s theory of fusion
is entirely different from, and refutes H.A Bethe’s theory of fusion. And with
the correct theory at the disposal of the world, and with appropriate technology,
the realization of fusion energy may not be far in the future.
· A
formal theory of global warming. As an application of the geometrical theory, Professor Nduka gave a
formal theory of global warming, which is the only known scientific theory of
global warming. This theory was part of the paper on the theory of fusion
published by Energy and Power Engineering.
According to him, changes in atmospheric greenhouse gases emitted by fossil
fuels do not have significant part in global warming. In his words: “A quantitative estimate, however, shows
that changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases make insignificant
contribution to the observed global temperature rise. Alternatively, recalling
that the earth absorbs a large quantity of energy per second from the sun, we
infer, on the basis of thermodynamics, that the earth’s environment is a heat
bath, hence changes in the greenhouse gas concentrations cannot affect its
temperature.” What then is responsible for global warming or climate
change? Ultra-high energy machines, such as particle accelerators operating in
the tera energy range, according to him, is the cause of global warming. Such
machines, he said, serve as earth’s secondary source of energy and they are the
drivers of the ultra-high energy nuclear reactions here on earth similar in
magnitude to those occurring in the sun and stars. This theory also explains
the unprecedented violence, in recent times, by some natural disasters like
earthquake, hurricane, tornado, typhoon and cyclone.
Apart from the
above, other contributions include:
· Solving the riddle on Magnetic Monopoles: Professor Amagh Nduka, in a paper, Magnetic
Monopoles published in Applied Mathematics (February 2017) solved a
riddle that has lasted for almost 200 years. He disproved the conclusion that ordinary matter consists of electric
charges (electric monopoles) and not magnetic charges (magnetic monopoles), and
showed that magnetic monopoles exists in nature even though they cannot be
isolated.
· Quantum theory of magnetism in matter: Professor Nduka, in a paper Magnetic
Monopoles and the Quantum Theory of Magnetism in Matter published in
Applied Mathematics (January 2018) gave a microscopic theory of magnetic
substances – an issue of fundamental and technological importance.
