Robert L. DeMelo (born December 21, 1975) is a Canadian independent researcher, technology consultant and software developer known for his self-developed framework of fractal scale cosmology, which proposes that macroscopic (stellar and planetary) systems and quantum (atomic) systems are self-similar structures related by a fixed scale factor. Based in Toronto, Ontario, he leads the GPRA (General Principles of Reality Architecture) Project and has published books and papers on his theory of gravitation, mass–energy geometry and grand unification.
Biography
DeMelo was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He has a background in engineering and has worked in the technology industry for over 15 years as a consultant and software developer, building systems for a range of industries. He describes himself as a perpetual student who has actively pursued the study of physics for more than 15 years, approaching theoretical physics alongside the philosophy of physics. He is an advocate for universal education and states that he holds a complete physical "theory of everything" to be unattainable, arguing that any such theory should be continually questioned and reanalyzed.
Scientific contributions
DeMelo's principal work is a fractal, velocity-dependent scaling framework known as GPRA:REPMES ("Relativity and the Electrodynamics on the Phenomena of Matter and Energy through Scale"). Within it he proposes that matter, inertial mass and energy arise from interaction with a permeating spatial quantum medium made up of sub-quantum particles, which is itself constituted of smaller, discretely scaled self-similar mediums related by scale factors of S.
The framework holds that macroscopic and quantum cosmological systems are self-similar, separated by a scale factor S and a difference in the passage of time, factor T, which he interprets as evidence that the space-time continuum is intrinsically fractal. In this view, star systems and atomic systems are described as the same type of structure at two different points on a velocity spectrum, with star systems at low velocities and atomic systems at velocities near the speed of light.
Using the framework's transformation equations and computer simulation, DeMelo reports results including a derivation of the perihelion precession of Mercury (43.6 ± 0.4147 arc-seconds), a derivation of the elementary charge from a macroscopic-scale counterpart, the scaling of planetary masses to quantum-particle charges, and scaling relationships among physical constants. He presents these results, including simulation source code, in his self-published books. His conclusions on the state of physics hold that Newtonian mechanics, the Rutherford–Bohr model, special and general relativity and quantum probability are each "correct to a point" but limited when set against a fractal topology linking them together. These ideas are self-published and independent research, and are not part of mainstream accepted physics.
