The Physics revolution no one wants to hear about

Challenging the Cosmos

History has not been kind to those who defy the scientific mainstream. From Galileo’s defiance of the Vatican to Copernicus’s heliocentric heresy, each leap toward truth was met with fierce resistance. The same may be happening again today.

A growing chorus of researchers and independent thinkers claim that modern physics—especially the Big Bang and particle models—is facing its own “flat Earth” moment. They argue that institutional inertia, money, and prestige have turned science from a search for truth into a defense of dogma.

The latest challenge comes not from a lone dissenter in a garage lab, but from one of the world’s leading space agencies.

The Indian data that rocked the universe

In 2021, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) published astronomical data under peer review that, according to several scientists, shows stars oscillate between redshift and blueshift. While most Western interpretations of cosmic expansion focus solely on redshift—the apparent stretching of light as galaxies move away—the Indian team observed periodic blueshift, where light compresses as if the object is moving closer.

If true, this oscillation could upend the Big Bang theory, which rests on the assumption of a uniformly expanding universe. The finding was largely ignored—or, some claim, actively suppressed—in Western academic circles.

Two articles in The New Indian Express (March 6, 2021, and August 19, 2022) documented this controversy, suggesting that major universities and physics institutions in the West refused to engage with the evidence.

A closed stage: “We don’t let people who say it’s wrong”

The climate of suppression was underscored in 2022 when world-renowned cosmologist Sean Carroll stated at the Institute of Art and Ideas:

“The Big Bang is correct, we know that much. So we do not let anyone onto the stage who says it is wrong.”

To critics, this was a confession that mainstream physics had become a belief system—guarding orthodoxy rather than testing truth. They argue that such gatekeeping blocks scientific progress and prevents the public from learning about data that might change our understanding of the universe.

Cracks in the Cosmic story

Even before the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) began delivering data, many physicists admitted that the Big Bang model struggled with paradoxes—violating quantum mechanics, relativity, and the first law of thermodynamics.

JWST observations since 2022 have revealed galaxies older and more structured than the Big Bang timeline allows, deepening the mystery. Yet dissenting models rarely find their way into conferences or journals, their authors often labelled as “cranks” or “tin hat theorists.”

A lone scientist, a unified theory

Among those challenging orthodoxy is Sean Gilligan, an independent researcher who has developed what he calls a Theory of Everything—a unified field model that eliminates paradoxes and reduces all forces to one fundamental mechanism: pressure.

Gilligan, who has no formal degree in physics or mathematics, has nonetheless drawn attention for his claimed mathematical proofs of two legendary problems: Goldbach’s Conjecture and the impossibility of a second loop in the Collatz Conjecture.

Videos outlining these one-minute proofs were reportedly deleted from Reddit, science forums, and blogs such as those of Fields Medalist Terry Tao. Supporters see this as evidence of censorship; detractors call it a lack of peer review.

Gilligan’s “Breaking Physics” YouTube playlist and his page on Academia.edu contain the remaining records of his work.

One force to rule them all

Gilligan’s model claims that there are not three or four fundamental forces—strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravity—but one: pressure.

• Negative pressure (vacuum pull) and positive pressure (push) form the basis of all physical interaction.
• Electrons and positrons are described as vortexes in a fluid-like medium, their spin creating mass through compaction of space.
• The equations of electromagnetism and the fine-structure constant (α ≈ 1/137) emerge naturally from this framework.

According to the model, gravity, charge, and electromagnetism are unified as manifestations of one continuous medium, making “telekinetic” forces unnecessary.

Beyond relativity

Gilligan also disputes Einstein’s equivalence principle, arguing that time dilation results from environmental pressure on atomic clocks, not from time itself stretching or contracting. In his view, Special Relativity describes the behavior of clocks, not the nature of time.

This redefinition, he says, aligns both quantum mechanics and relativity under a single physical principle, eliminating paradoxes such as faster-than-light expansion and quantum entanglement “spookiness.”

The spiritual consequence of Physics

Perhaps most provocative is the metaphysical dimension of Gilligan’s work. He asserts that consciousness is not an illusion but the essence of reality—that human beings are souls inhabiting physical forms, as many ancient traditions claimed.

According to his interpretation, scientific denial of this truth may have moral consequences, echoing spiritual warnings about the misuse of knowledge and the perversion of nature’s laws.

Suppression, power, and the future

Critics of mainstream science see a pattern: discoveries that threaten established institutions or funding structures are ignored or censored. Meanwhile, AI, quantum computing, and classified technologies accelerate beyond public oversight.

Gilligan warns that real science—especially technologies to predict and mitigate solar catastrophes—is being hidden. He points to the near-miss of the 2012 solar mass ejection, which could have disabled global infrastructure had it been Earth-facing.

“Cities are unprepared,” he says, “and underground facilities are being built for the elite. But the truth belongs to everyone.”

The call to courage

Whether one agrees with Gilligan or not, his message echoes the timeless spirit of scientific rebellion: that truth should never be censored, and that genuine science requires courage.

He invites readers to examine his mathematical proofs and his Theory of Everything—available through his Academia.edu profile and YouTube channel—before dismissing them.

“Science,” he concludes, “is the pursuit of truth. It’s the only thing that will save us.”
