He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> Karlsen is the author of the paper &quot;Sketch of a Matter Model in an Elastic Universe&quot; (1998), circulated through his personal website. In it he models physical matter as confined &quot;disturbance energy&quot; within an expanding elastic spatial continuum whose behaviour is governed by Navier&#039;s equation of motion from the classical mechanics of solids. This places his work within the tradition of modern aether and &quot;luminiferous medium&quot; theories, which attempt to derive physical phenomena from the deformation of a space-filling elastic medium rather than from standard relativistic field theory. His model lies outside the accepted framework of contemporary physics.<br /> <br /> His paper has been cited in independent arXiv preprints on the continuum mechanics of space and aether models, indicating circulation of his ideas beyond the original directory listing.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://home.online.no/~ukarlsen/ Bjørn Ursin Karlsen homepage] (archived)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Karlsen Bjørn Ursin]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
