Avtar Snigh and his new physics that resolves all paradoxes in physics?

[_heretic]

I was browsing the Foundational Questions Institute when I came across this essay written by one Avtar Singh: http://fqxi.org/comm...rum/topic/1317/

The abstract for the paper reads:

 

"The "Absurd Universe" as described by Michael Turner [1] represents the consensus characterization of the predictions of the most widely accepted physics and cosmology theories marred by their unresolved contradictions, inconsistencies, and paradoxes. This paper provides a new fundamental understanding of the Cosmological Constant and relativistic universe expansion as an extension to the widely accepted linear Hubble expansion. The current paradoxes and inconsistencies are shown to be artifacts of the missing (hidden) physics of the well-known phenomenon of spontaneous decay. A new Gravity Nullification Model for Universe Expansion (GNMUE) is proposed that integrates the missing physics of the spontaneous mass-energy conversion into a simplified form of general relativity. The model predicts the observed expansion of the universe and galaxies and other data. The model provides answers to key fundamental questions and resolves paradoxes among general relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. It also bridges the gap between quantum mechanics and relativity theories via revealing relativistic understanding of the inner workings of quantum mechanics. The impact of the new understanding on widely-accepted fundamental assumptions is discussed and a new wholesome perspective on reality is provided."

and the conclusion reads

The proposed Gravity Nullification Model for Universe Expansion (GNMUE) describes this missing physics and

integrates it into a simplified form of general relativity that resolves many of the current well-known paradoxes and

inconsistencies among general relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. GNMUE predicts the observed

galaxy and universe expansions. It provides a fresh perspective on the misconceived birth and evolution of the

universe, especially the creation and dissolution of matter. It eliminates singularities in existing theories and the

need for many incredible and unverifiable assumptions including the superluminous inflation, dark energy, dark

matter, multiple universes, multiple dimensions, and quantum gravity. It also explains quantum weirdness and

bridges the gap between quantum mechanics and relativity via revealing relativistic understanding of the inner

workings of quantum mechanics. It also predicts the observed quantum and classical behaviors. GNMUE provides

consistent answers to many key fundamental questions (App. A).

Finally, a new perspective on the wholesome universal reality (App. A) is provided encompassing the partial

Newtonian, quantum, discrete, and non-discrete realities. GNMUE restores simplicity and beauty to physics and

cosmology. It also rejuvenates the once lost "Elegance" to the so-called "Absurd Universe" [1]. Last, but not the

least, the new wholesome understanding of reality is shown to have an immense potential for benefiting humanity

via unifying physics, cosmology, and philosophy with purpose [19] and free will or consciousness (App. A).

 

According to the author biography section Mr Singh has written a book "The Hidden Factor: an Approach for Resolving Paradoxes of Science, Cosmology and Universal Reality" Which I tracked down on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/1403393648

 

So is this guy some quack, as I suspect?
