He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> Yan has developed what he calls a &quot;background medium theory&quot; of celestial-body motion and has proposed analytical equations describing the tendency of stable nuclides. His papers introduce a fractional-dimension (&quot;fractal&quot;) calculus that he applies to the structure of the cosmos, to the relationship between neutrons and protons in atomic nuclei, and to what he describes as superluminal-velocity motion laws of matter in geospace. Several of these works appeared in the Chinese journal &#039;&#039;Progress in Geophysics&#039;&#039; (2004 and 2006), and further papers are collected in the General Science Journal.<br /> <br /> His proposals, including his treatment of superluminal motion and his self-similar fractal-measure formalism, lie outside the mainstream framework of physics and geophysics.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.nature.ac.cn/papers/paper-abs-info.html Collected papers (nature.ac.cn)]<br /> * [http://gsjournal.net/Science-Journals-Papers/Author/289/Kun,%20Yan General Science Journal author page]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Yan Kun]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
