Work
Mohammadzade has published a large body of papers (dozens over the period from 2012 onward, some written in Persian) addressing topics in celestial mechanics, cosmology and astrophysics. Among his recurring themes are analytical-mechanics treatments of planetary motion. He proposes an explanation for the retrograde rotation of Venus based on the Coriolis effect and a "dense gas break" effect that, he argues, could reverse the planet's original direction of rotation, and he has worked toward a derivation of the Titius–Bode law of planetary distances using a wave-function approach.
His later papers extend to subjects such as the dynamics of galactic groups, oscillations of protoplanetary disks, black-hole collisions and problems in quantum gravity. This work is self-published in an alternative-science venue and lies outside the mainstream astrophysical literature; the proposals are presented by the author as his own theoretical contributions.
