About the Author
Robert J. Evanshine is an independent researcher in theoretical cosmology and quantum foundations. He holds a BS in Applied Physics from the University of California, Santa Cruz (2004-2006), and an AA in English and Engineering from Santa Barbara City College (2000-2004).
His research explores ontological quantum decoherence as a fundamental organizing principle in physics and cosmology. The “Decoherence as First Principle” framework proposes that gravitational decoherence preceded and enabled the emergence of other fundamental forces. This approach offers novel interpretations of dark matter, cosmic structure formation, and the early universe without requiring exotic particles or field modifications.
By profession a software developer with extensive experience in enterprise systems and database architecture, Robert brings computational and mathematical rigor to his theoretical physics investigations. His work bridges quantum mechanics, general relativity, and observational cosmology. He focuses particularly on testable predictions that distinguish this framework from standard ΛCDM models.
