Anatoly V. Belyakov is a Russian researcher known for a series of papers that develop a mechanistic interpretation of John Archibald Wheeler's geometrodynamic concept and apply it across a wide range of scales, from the structure of atomic nuclei to stellar objects. His work has appeared in the journal Progress in Physics. He is listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Work
Belyakov treats the space continuum, following Wheeler, as a topologically non-unitary coherent surface on which closed structures ("contours") can form through a balance of gravitational, electric, magnetic and inertial forces. On this basis he attempts to describe microworld parameters using non-quantum, geometrodynamic methods rather than conventional quantum theory.
In "Nuclear Power and the Structure of a Nucleus According to J. Wheeler's Geometrodynamic Concept" he proposes to explain the nature of nuclear forces as a result of the complex internal structure of nucleons and offers a model of the structure of atomic nuclei on this foundation. In related papers he extends the same framework to the evolution of stellar objects and, more recently, to neutrino phenomena such as the gallium anomaly. These proposals lie outside the accepted framework of quantum mechanics and the Standard Model, and Progress in Physics is a journal associated with heterodox physics.
