Balungi Francis
Balungi Francis was born in Kampala, Uganda, to a single poor mother, grew up in Kawempe, and later joined Makerere Universty in 2006, graduating with a Bachelor Science degree in Land Surveying in 2010. For four years he taught in Kampala City high schools, majoring in the fields of Gravitation and Quantum Physics. His first book, "Mathematical Foundation of the Quantum theory of Gravity," won the Young Kampala Innovative Prize and was mentioned in the African Next Einstein Book Prize (ANE). He has spent over 15years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, gravity, in addition to astrophysics, unified physics and geographical information systems . These studies led to his groundbreaking theories, published papers, books and patented inventions in the science of Quantum Gravity, which have received worldwide recognition. From these discoveries, Balungi founded the SUSP (Solutions to the Unsolved Scientific Problems) Project Foundation in 2004 – now known as the SUSP Science Foundation. As its current Director of Research, Balungi leads physicists, mathematicians and engineers in exploring Quantum Gravity principles and their implications in our world today and for future generations. Balungi launched the Visionary School of Quantum Gravity in 2016 in order to bring the learning and community further together. It’s the first and only Quantum Gravity physics program of its kind, educating thousands of students from over 80 countries. The book "Quantum Gravity in a Nutshell1", a most recommend book in quantum gravity research , was produced based on Balungi's discoveries and their potential for generations to come. Balungi is currently guiding the Foundation, speaking to audiences worldwide, and continuing his groundbreaking research.

The Minimum mass limit of a gravitationally Collapsed star
The smallest black hole would be one where the Schwarzschild radius equals the radius of a mass with a reduced Compton wavelength which is the smallest size to which a given mass can be localized. For a small mass M, the Compton wavelength exceeds half the Schwarzschild radius, and no black hole description exists. This smallest mass for a black hole is thus approximately the Planck mass, the micro black hole.
BlackHole.jpgContrary to the above observation, torsion (see Einstein-Cartan theory) modifies the Dirac equation in the presence of the gravitational field causing fermions to be spatially extended. This spatial extension of fermions limits the minimum mass of a black hole to be on the order of , showing that micro black holes (of Planck mass) may not exist. Another mass limit is from the data of the Fermi Gamma-ray space telescope satellite which states that, less than one percent of dark matter could be made of primordial black holes with masses up to .
The major aim of this book is to prove theoretically the existence of a minimum mass limit of a gravitationally collapsed star and thereafter prove Chandrasekhar wrong (see Chandrasekhar 1983 Noble lecture concluding statement below)
We conclude that there can be no surprises in the evolution of stars of mass less than 0.43Solarmass ( ). The end stage in the evolution of such stars can only be that of the white dwarfs. (Parenthetically, we may note here that the so-called ‘mini’ black-holes of mass cannot naturally be formed in the present astronomical universe.)
In what follows the above given statement may prove to wrong according to a detailed derivation given below.
From the theory of white dwarf stars, the radius limit of a white dwarf of mass M is given by the following equation,
(1)
Where and is the proton and electron mass respectively
Just like the Compton wavelength, there must exist another radius for the consistitution of stars that differs from the radius given in (1) above. For example, in the same way the Planck mass is deduced (i.e by equating the Schwarzschild radius to the Compton wavelength) is the same way in which we are to prove the existence of the mass limit of a gravitationally collapsed star.
We start from first principles. Let it be known that the derivation of the Chandrasekhar mass limit will follow the equipartition of the gravitational potential energy of a star to its electron degeneracy pressure. In the same way, if the gravitational binding energy is given by,
Where is the Planck mass and µ is is the average molecular weight per electron
And the electron degeneracy energy pressure of the star is given by,
When then we obtain the mass limit of the white dwarf star as,
If then this is true, then the formula (2) for the gravitational binding energy of a star is true. This therefore implies that the following assumption will also be true.
When the binding gravitational energy of a star is equal to the Newtonian gravitational potential energy we obtain the radius which is the smallest size to which a given mass of a star can be localized as,
(3)
This can be rewritten in the form,
Where which is smaller than the Planck length of
Therefore equating Equation (1) to Equation (3) we deduce the mass limit of a gravitationally collapsed star as,
The value is in excellent agreement with other theoretical and experimental observations
The radius of this black hole from Equation (3) is thus larger than the radius of the sun of .
In conclusion therefore the end stage in the evolution of a star can only be that of the black hole with a mass and size of in contrast with the Chandrasekhar observations.
Note that the radius given by Equation (3), above is similar to the Equation for the size of the Planck star that was given by Rovelli and Vidotto, where is the Planck length and n is the positive number. This is a clear indication that singularities in black holes can be resolved.
Emergence of Gravity
Starting from first principles and general assumptions we present a heuristic argument that shows that Newton's law of gravitation naturally arise in a theory in which space emerges
