Bhaktivedanta Institute’s 50 Year Celebration
I’m deeply honored with a kind invitation to give a Keynote Cosmology Lecture for Bhaktivedanta Institute’s Golden Jubilee in Kolkata India taking place March 16-22, 2026.
The Institute’s theme is “Where Science and Spirituality Meet.” The Golden Jubillee conference is entitled “Voyage Through the Cosmos.”
(And Yes, they still want my talk even though I’ve alerted them I have no religious expertise, and have yet to complete a PhD.)
My presentation is entitled “Bubbles and Voids versus Fancies – Oh My !
Here’s the link to my talk on Youtube – Click here (But you have to jump to the hour and a half mark to the start of my talk. Good News: All reports I get back note how our day’s Master of Ceremonies was darn good looking; like a Star model.)
It covers —
1) how Unlimited Inspiration must be Tempered by Carefully Limited Hypotheses & Calm Logic,
2) Logical Fallibilism – meaning My Claims could be Wrong, and
3) I’ll illuminate the pros and cons of leading Cosmology Models and Theories.
You are guaranteed to learn a surprise or two. (or your money back)
My lecture began March 20 at 10:30 pm PST (twas slightly late night here, but early for India). Questions begin at the 45 minute mark.
What makes this a rather special honor for me is how so many Nobel Prize winners have given talks for this institute including Dr. Linus Pauling (a former Big Sur Neighbor), Sir Roger Penrose, Prof. Werner Arber, Prof. Charles H. Townes, Prof. Alan MacDiarmid, Prof. William D. Phillips, Prof. Paul Lauterbur, Prof. Ahmed Zewail, and Prof. George Wald.
Veil Nebula
Not to mention, our March program is overflowing with many of Cosmology’s most prominent names and researchers: Louis Marmet (Redshift), Sandra Faber (Great Attractor & UC Santa Cruz ), George Ellis, Tim Eastman (NASA & Plasma), Paul Steinhardt (Cyclic Universe), Wendy Freedman (Hubble distance measurements), and many more.
What’s fascinating to me is how only one of the 20+ speakers (George Ellis) is still advocating for Big Bang. In fact, the talk by Chicago University’s celebrated Wendy Freedman’s is entitled “Is There Something Missing From Our Current Understanding of the Cosmos?“
My lecture provides the latest powerful evidence showing Universe Expansion is an illusion, how Cosmic Microwave “Background” – isn’t background and how its largest structure was not formed by gravity.
It will also explain how Cosmic Microwave “Background” – is actually all FOREground, meaning from identifiable matter. The main reason is whole-sky microwave “cameras” have such spectacularly pathetic resolution (86,000 times worse then Hubble images). Imagine taking family photos with a camera that only has One-Pixel. Worthless of course. That’s about how bad COBE’s spacial resolution was.
Newer satellites WMAP and PLANCK have improved resolution, but they are still astoundingly inadequate (58,000 times worse resolution than Hubble – not a misprint) to prove microwave “Background” even exists.
Quipu – Universe Largest Known Structure
And wrapping it up I showed how our Universe’s largest structures are obviously not (primarily) formed by Gravity !
They are plainly formed by Electromagnetic fields. Of course that directly contradicts a hundred years of Cosmology Based on General Relativity.
Let me strongly recommend Conference talks by Louis Marmet and Tim Eastman.
Tim Eastman’s talk explaining Cosmological Plasma in plain English begins at 1 hour and 12 minutes
So maybe my 2008 public prediction is sloooowwwwly coming true – that Big Bang will soon “collapse like a House of Cards.”
(Its apparently a Slow-Motion collapse ;-) )
