'''Bibhas R. De''' is a physicist and author known for his alternative theoretical work on electromagnetism and his criticism of Big Bang cosmology. He is listed in ''[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]''.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
De studied astronomy at the University of Michigan and received a Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego, where he was a doctoral student of the plasma physicist Hannes Alfvén.<br />
<br />
==Ideas==<br />
De proposes the concept of a "source-free magnetic structure," which he describes as a finite, static configuration of magnetic field lines existing in empty space with no currents or sources within it, obtained as a solution of Maxwell's equations. He argues that such a magnetostatic field constitutes the physical presence of something possessing mass, and that the relationship between this mass and the field energy does not follow the usual mass-energy relation, a departure he labels "TransEinsteinian" and "TransMaxwellian" physics. These claims lie outside mainstream physics.<br />
<br />
De has also been a vocal critic of Big Bang cosmology. In his book ''The Falsifiers of the Universe: Big Bang Cosmology — The First Fraud in the Final Frontier'', he disputes the standard interpretation of cosmological observations, including data from the COBE mission and the cosmic microwave background.<br />
