Mikhail L. Gershtein: An American Physicist, Poet, and Writer
Early Life and EducationMikhail L. Gershtein, a prominent physicist, poet, and author, was born on June 4, 1958, in Nizhny Novgorod (formerly Gorky), into a Jewish family. He graduated from a school specializing in physics and mathematics before pursuing a degree in Radiophysics at the Nizhny Novgorod State University.
Scientific Discoveries
Gershtein gained recognition for co-authoring a revolutionary physical theory that unifies electricity and gravity, known as the Attractive Universe Theory. Proposed in 1987, this theory postulates that electrical attraction is a fundamental force, while repulsion is a consequence of charges attracting to matter in the surrounding universe.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Entrepreneurship
In 1989-1990, Gershtein emigrated to the United States and settled in Boston. He worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and founded a scientific instrumentation company. His research and theories have garnered considerable attention and have been published in numerous journals and publications.
Literary and Artistic Endeavors
Besides his scientific pursuits, Gershtein is an acclaimed poet and prose writer. His works have appeared in books, magazines, newspapers, and online platforms. In 2006, a film titled "Snowflakes Melt on the Lips" was released on American television, highlighting his poetry. Another film, "In the Enchanted Realm of His Existence," showcased his Nizhny Novgorod period in 2013.
Film Screenwriting
Gershtein's talents extend to film screenwriting. He co-wrote the documentary "Reconnoitering in Force: Encounter with Ehrenburg," which aired in several countries. He also contributed to the script for "Second Life. Boston," which won the NewTV award for Best Program of 2012.
The Attractive Universe Theory: A Scientific Breakthrough
In 1987, Gershtein and Lev Gershtein proposed the Attractive Universe Theory. It posits that gravity is the result of an imbalance between electrical attraction and repulsion. This work drew attention from renowned scientists, including Nobel laureate Andrei Sakharov. The article was published in the prestigious journal "Radiophysics" and translated into English by the Gravity Research Foundation.
Experimental Evidence of Anisotropy in Gravity
In 2002, Gershtein published a scientific article that analyzed anisotropy in measurements of the gravitational constant. The findings suggested that the gravitational constant may vary with orientation. This groundbreaking study caused a stir in the scientific community.
Recognition and Impact
Gershtein's research and theories have been widely referenced in various scientific publications. Notable mentions include:
- The Economist (2004)
- Publications of the Royal Society- Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop
The Theory of Collective Discontinuous Evolution
In 2010, Gershtein and Joseph Gershtein proposed a novel theory on the origin of biological species, known as the Theory of Collective Discontinuous Evolution. It suggests that species emerge through sudden, collective mutations triggered by viruses.
