Homepage
Hi and thanks for visiting my geocities homepage, this pages serves as a reference for those who are interested in my areas of theoretical research, but originally it served to provided a little background info on me for yahoo group discussions, for prettier more elaborate pages I suggest that you the reader follow one of the links found on this page. In the past this page also provided a link to the Advanced Theoretical Propulsion Group which no longer exist but JoAPM was created in its place [which has gone under recently and has been replaced with star-labs.org], the former letters of that group are however archived here: atpgletters for interested parties. For those interested in my specific research activities and publications simply click over to:
First and foremost, my screen name is halgravity, and many in the
past have gotten the impression
that my name is Hal, that is not the case! Hal just happens to be
the first three letters of my surname; Halerewicz, and gravity is self
explanatory as
that is my main area in which I focus my research. One of the reasons
why gravity captivates me so much is that it is the force we on this
planet are all intuitively aware but which baffles modern science
the most, not to say modern science doesn't understand a lot about
gravitation,
it does! In order to shine some light onto why gravitation
captivates me so much and as well as to get a very
simplified introduction into the general theory of relativity (for
those who don't know
that is what Einstein called his theory of gravitation) click:
Although I, Edward
am deeply fascinated by gravitation it is only one of my interest in
theoretical physics. Amongst other theories I find of interest
are Quantum Field Theory, Quantum Electrodynamics, Quantum
Chrodynamics, particle physics, astrophysics and aspects of string
theory, any serious research however knows that all of these theories
are related (save string theory). Rather than rattle on about other
theoretical considerations on this page, further aspects of these
branches and other issues are discussed at the following pages:

A Bit About Me
Long story short, I'm an active independent researcher who probes
the far limits of modern theoretical physics, although my day job
routinely deals with tackling engineering related problems. I
have always been fascinated by stars and astronomy as child, my
interest into astronomy then led me to the underlying principles about
the nature of the cosmos motivating myself to learn the laws of
physics. I began reading textbooks on special relativity while
attending junior high and never looked back, although I was never a
gifted mathematician and never stood out as an exceptional student,
hurting me academically. My setbacks on the other hand never
blocked the pursuit of my goals, I continued to read books, and even
submitted a few papers to scholarly journals while still in high
school. Later in college I ended up taking classes in classical
physics as an undergraduate and then studied astronomy as many academic
test prevented me from taking advanced classes (they rather test people
by exclusion, rather than by what you know, which I found to be rather
annoying) that would have allowed for advanced studies in modern
physics. At last we arrive at the reason I'm and independent
researcher, my education provides me enough background to make use of
Newtonian physics in the work place, but not enough to dazzle research
institutions. But I don't give up that easily I still dig through
stacks of paper, have active discussions with private parties, and
submit papers to scientific journals when I feel that I have discovered
something unique, which is also the reason you are reading this now.
