Clark M. Thomas is an independent author and researcher based in Roanoke, Virginia, United States, known for a body of self-published essays challenging aspects of standard cosmology and relativity. He is listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.

Ideas

Since about 2005, Thomas has written numerous essays hosted on his own website and on preprint archives, developing what he calls "Relativity beyond Einstein." He argues that several widely accepted ideas in modern physics are mistaken, characterizing them as "cosmological fallacies." Among his claims:

• He proposes that the speed of light is not an absolute upper limit on motion relative to external reference frames, and suggests modifying the relation E = mc² to incorporate an acceleration-time factor.
• He argues that black holes are not true singularities but extremely compact concentrations of matter within a gravitational event horizon, and that they eventually evaporate by mechanisms beyond Hawking radiation.
• He treats the Big Bang not as the origin of everything but as one event within a larger "multiverse," which he pictures as a community of universe "bubbles," with gravity acting across universes as a unifying force that he links to dark energy and dark matter.

These proposals lie outside the scientific mainstream and have been published through Thomas's personal website and open preprint repositories rather than in peer-reviewed physics journals.
