A scientific revolution is imminent in 2026 due to seven serious reasons. An almost repeat of the original scientific revolution (Europe, 16th and 17th century) is inevitable.
Copernicus started the scientific revolution by moving the center of the solar system from the earth to the sun. History repeats. Moving to the true center (where the Big Bang happened) of the expanding balloon universe rescues physics AND cosmology from deep crisis. It gives a grand unified, “theory of everything”. It reconciles the two (bitterly conflicting) pillars of modern physics. It unifies physics and cosmology. It explains the origin of unidirectional flow of time.
Nature’s ultimate truth will reach the general public (the common people) around the world before this year ends. It can happen even sooner! Gautama Buddha once said “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth”. Nature’s deepest truth is counterintuitive and as contrary to the common sense as Copernicus’ assertion that the buildings, the hills, forests and the entire planet earth goes around the sun! It is certain to create a scientific revolution.
A scientific revolution is imminent in 2026 because of seven (7) serious reasons:
REASON 1) James Webb Telescope’s impossible findings demand a scientific revolution. James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been repeatedly making global headline news. It has shaken the foundations of cosmology, and entire science. JWST has discovered that MoM z14 galaxy existed when the universe was just 280 million years old (i.e. when the universe was really in infant stage). The measured emission lines from this galaxy indicated overabundance of elements like nitrogen and carbon. It has found even oxygen (atomic number 8, atomic mass 16). This was damn shocking because there is not a single theoretical model that predicts this much carbon and nitrogen this early on (which would require the birth and death of several generations of stars). JWST has been pushing the limit further and further. Recently it discovered the Capotauro galaxy, which appeared just 90 million years after the Big Bang.
JWST has made many other such shocking discoveries. But the core message is: The infant universe appears to be eerily similar to what it is right now, 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang. The universe in the far distant past appears to be just a mirror image of the present day universe!
The reason why the infant universe looks the same as mature (present day) universe is very simple: James Webb Telescope is looking at 13.5 billion years old objects from human perspective, but is seeing in real-time from universe’s perspective, and hence it looking at those distant object as it is right now. It will be shameful if the core message from the largest and most powerful space telescope ever built (with a price tag of more than 10 billion US dollars) is ignored by the global scientific community.
At the heart of Einstein’s relativity, there is a contradiction; a paradox. For any observer, light appears to be travelling at the velocity c (= 299,792,458 m/s), and hence would take millions or even billions of years to move from one galaxy to another. But from the photon’s perspective, time stops ticking completely. Photon (particle of light) does not experience the passage of time while moving from one galaxy to another. In other words, light can travel instantaneously across vast distances in the universe.
James Webb Telescope’s shocking findings spectacularly validate the revolutionary, ‘ultimate theory’ of science. The theory claims that the universe is like an expanding (hyper) balloon, which has a 3D hyper-surface. The wall of the balloon universe is made up of invisible and unnoticeable, scalar Higg’s field (somewhat similar to invisible electric and magnetic fields) and particles (which are mere excitations/resonances in those fields, just as the stunningly accurate ‘Quantum Field Theory’ insists. It has been demonstrated countless number of times in LHC that energy excitation in vacuum fields can create all sorts of particles. Therefore it is an established fact). Since stars, planets and even humans are made up of particles (which are mere epiphenomena of fields), therefore all forms of matter is eternally trapped within the 3D hypersurface of fields which makes up the wall of the (hyper) balloon. This balloon model requires the existence of two different frames of reference/viewpoints (one viewpoint is from any point on the surface, and another viewpoint is from the center of the balloon universe). The universe is perceived differently from each viewpoint, and this also implies the existence of two different concepts of time. Photon’s perspective happens to be the center of the universe viewpoint.
There are two pillars of modern physics: Einstein’s Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Both are spectacularly successful in their own domains, but are in bitter mutual conflicts. The core conflict is about the nature of time and is known as the ‘problem of time’. Quantum mechanics regards the flow of time as universal and absolute, whereas relativity regards the flow of time as malleable and relative. Experiments have supported both concepts. Sagnac effect demonstrates that simultaneity is absolute and support Quantum Mechanics’ view of time. Muon decay experiments as well as Hafele-Keating experiment (which involved flying atomic clocks around the world on commercial airplanes) support relativistic view about time. Actually Quantum Mechanics is the center of the universe perspective, while relativity is all about being trapped in the 3D (hyper) surface of the expanding universe, but being free to move along any three mutually perpendicular directions.

REASON 2) Einstein made the worst blunder in science which continues to paralyze science. SpaceTime is not a four dimensional continuum. Einstein and Minkowski merged the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional manifold called SpaceTime. This leads to a block universe view in which there is no distinction between the past, the present and the future, and all three of them simultaneously coexist. This view is in stark contrast to our everyday experience, as well as with an astonishing number of observations in the whole of science. In fact, an entire book has been written to highlight this glaring mistake [The arrow of time: the quest to solve science’s greatest mystery].
Time itself is NOT the fourth dimension (as Einstein believed). Time emerges due to motion along fourth space dimension. Neither is time an illusion as Einstein believed. Albert Einstein famously said “People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion”. But those who believe Einstein was right and doubt the reality of time should see the slices of Einstein’s brain (more than 240 slice blocks) preserved in formalin and kept in different locations worldwide.
This seems like paradox: Einstein’s relativity is so successful; then how can Einstein’s view be wrong? Actually, his math is correct. But his mathematics is telling something else! What is SpaceTime? The shocking answer can rewrite Physics and Cosmology

REASON 3) Physics and cosmology are both in crisis because of wrong model of universe. The presently accepted model of the universe (The Standard Model of Cosmology) cannot even satisfactorily answer an innocent question which a child might ask “if our universe is expanding, what it is expanding into?” Even more embarrassingly, scientists have not been able to locate a center of the universe. Scientists try to avoid the question by taking refuge to ‘an infinitely large universe’. But there is a big problem. In the vastness of our cosmos, each galaxy can be considered as a point mass. Even when the number of galaxies (n) tends to infinity, the powerful formula for ‘center of mass’ guarantees that there remains a single point as the center of mass. The mere invocation of infinity will not dissuade anyone from the conclusion that there is indeed a center. Only a balloon shaped universe can rescue cosmology from this situation. There is a true center of the balloon, but it does not lie anywhere on the surface. The basic difference is: A balloon has a 2D surface, and exists in 3D space; while the (hyper) balloon universe has a 3D surface and exists in 4D (hyper) space.
Scientists have not realized that the FLRW metric, which is the heart of Standard Model of Cosmology, actually paints this picture of the universe! An analogy to a party balloon can illustrate this point. As the balloon expands, two things happen simultaneously. 1) A point/dot on the wall of the balloon moves away from the true center of the balloon along the radius of the balloon. This is what the temporal part of FLRW metric says. Movement along the radius of the universe appears as passage of time for trapped humans. 2) Nearby dots on the balloon appear to move farther away from each other due to the stretching of the wall of the balloon. This is taken care by the scale factor in the FLRW metric, and this phenomena gives rise to Hubble’s law. [NOTE : Taking the radial increment/expansion velocity of the universe as c = 299,792,458 meters per second and the age of the universe as 13.8 billion years, the value of the Hubble constant obtained using balloon model (71.002 km/s/Mpc) agrees well with the accepted values (69.8 and 74 km/s/Mpc measured by two different methods). On the other hand, the Standard Model of Cosmology cannot explain why this particular value of Hubble constant arises.]
REASON 4) Science is standing on faulty Math. Correcting the faulty mathematical assumptions makes a scientific ‘paradigm shift’ imminent. Luckily, the mistakes are so easy to comprehend that even the common people can easily understand what is wrong. A baker can understand, and a butcher (or a cobbler) can understand too. One can just click the hyperlink to know more. One of the core lessons is that imaginary numbers are needed for an inaccessible higher dimension (and hence imaginary numbers are so ubiquitous in science, because the 4th dimension in inaccessible to humans).
There is another faulty mathematical assumption, which has led scientists to believe in a 3D flat universe (kindly click given hyperlink for more info). One cannot measure the curvature of a 3 dimensional (hyper) surface using summation of angles in a triangle. That works for a 2 dimensional surface curving in the 3rd dimension. But for measuring the curvature of 3D space in the 4th dimension, one needs the sum of solid angles (i.e. a tetrahedron is needed, and not a triangle). The ‘sum of angles of the triangle’ checkup which scientists had applied to CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) spots is bound to show that universe is (3D) flat!
It must also be noted that one cannot measure the curvature of our universe using the mass-energy density method of General Relativity (General Relativity can measure intrinsic curvature, but not the extrinsic curvature). Relativity is the viewpoint of a trapped being (the fourth space dimension is inaccessible).
Interested readers may read the novella Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (Edwin Abbott) to understand why it is almost impossible for a lower dimensional being to become aware of a higher dimension.

REASON 5) The three key steps to overthrow an accepted scientific theory are: A) reproduce ALL the successes of the presently accepted theory B) explain what the currently accepted theory cannot explain C) make new predictions that differ and can be tested.
ALL THREE ABOVE CONDITIONS are satisfied, by the expanding balloon model of the universe.
NOTE: Euclid Data Release 1 (DR1) is scheduled on 21st October, 2026.
Only a plot of number of galaxies versus distance is needed to turn science on its head.
The expanding balloon model of universe is far superior to currently accepted theories in Physics and Cosmology. The list of achievements are simply stunning and staggering!

But even before the Euclid’s data analysis results are out, it is hard to deny the existence of a fourth space dimension. [Search: “Undeniable proof for the existence fourth (space) dimension” (ResearchGate) DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.27799.38560 ].
Readers must be aware that recently global news channels raised deep concern about creating mirror life in the laboratory. [“Mirror life” refers to life composed of biological molecules (proteins, DNA) that are the mirror images (opposite chirality) of those found in all known Earth organisms.] But the question arises: Why didn’t such mirror life evolve naturally? The answer is: Nature distinguishes between left handedness and right handedness (i.e. nature can distinguish between the real thing and the mirror image, which is referred to as ‘chiral asymmetry’ in technical terms). Chiral asymmetry is shown from the particle scale to galactic scale! This ‘chiral asymmetry’ is a direct hint of an embedding higher dimension. Consider this: Letters such as P and F and their mirror images are non-superposable by translation or rotation in the 2D plane (of the paper). However, if they can be taken out of the 2D plane, and flipped over, then they become superposable with their mirror image. A similar case arises in the 3D with handedness. Left hand and right hand are mirror images, which are non-superposable by any amount of translation or rotation in 3D.
James Webb Telescope (JWST) has found that vast majority of galaxies rotate in the same direction. This chiral asymmetry does not mean that the entire universe is rotating. It does not mean that the universe is inside a black hole. This chiral asymmetry strongly hints at extra space dimension.
Hints of the 4th space (spatial) dimension have already been detected by two separate research teams, one in the US and one in Europe. Both of these experiments utilized a phenomenon known as the quantum Hall effect. Results strongly hinted that the true geometry of nature is four dimensional.
Nature’s true geometry is also revealed and demonstrated by the ‘Principle of Least Action (PLA)’, from which ALL KNOWN laws of physics can be derived. PLA can be generalized to the ‘Principle of Maximum Proper Time’, which reduces to a shockingly simple statement: “The least distance between two points in 4D (hyper) space is a straight line”. That should be sufficient to convince any scientist, but nature goes farther still. Theodor Kaluza’s miracle of obtaining Maxwell’s equations in addition to Einstein’s field equations seemed to exact a heavy price: A fifth dimension was needed as an embedding space. However, four dimensions are sufficient (and electromagnetic phenomena are obtained as bonus). The 4th dimension was mistaken for a fifth dimension because of improper understanding of imaginary numbers.
Even the orbits of planets directly hints at fourth (space) dimension. Planets go around the sun in elliptical orbits. But why? In fact, they’re moving in circles in 4 dimensions. When these circles are projected down to 3-dimensional space, they become ellipses!
REASON 6) Nobel Prize winners (and world prominent scientists) are revolting for a paradigm shift in science from the topmost level.
Nobel Prize winners (and world prominent scientists) are like captain of the ship. When a captain abandons a ship, it is clear signal for everyone that the ship is about to sink!

REASON 7) Students worldwide are leading the scientific revolution at the ground level. Helping them and reaching hundreds of millions of global audiences are science influencers. Even global news channels (BBC News, The New York Times, The Guardian, Forbes, et al) are raising alarm at the crisis in Physics and Cosmology, and at the very foundation in science.
University and college students are NOT fools. They ask serious questions like: 1) If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? 2) How can time be the fourth dimension, when time does not have the unit of meter or mile or yard? 3) How can the center of the universe be located everywhere? 4) Isn’t the discovery of all-pervading Higg’s field a tight slap to Einstein’s rejection of ether? 5) How can Einstein’s denial of any preferred frame of reference be valid, when the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) provides a preferred, universal frame of reference? 6) If imaginary numbers do not exist, then why should the physical universe require it everywhere to explain reality?
They get illogical, nonsense answers, which makes them realize that scientists are very wrong. Scientists have stopped listening to nature long ago. Time is ripe for a major scientific revolution, and it will be college and university students who will lead the science revolution. Scientific societies and national science academies will soon be forced to join the students worldwide.
Students are increasingly aware that their career in theoretical physics and cosmology is at risk from older generations of scientists (who will become their guides and mentors forcefully). Rather than shepherding them towards green pastures, they will be forced to a dead end. It will result in wastage of their entire career and generate deep frustration. They are painfully aware that hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayers money have been wasted in the past, hunting for non-existent Dark Matter particles and SuperSymmetrical particles. For the last four decades every such hunt has returned empty handed. New generations of scientists were forced to work in String theory, Loop quantum gravity etc. even when it became increasingly clear that those paths were far from reality. Almost two generations of physicists and cosmologists have wasted their life’s efforts because they were not given the freedom to pursue real science, but fell into inescapable trap created by senior scientists whose aim was not pursuit of scientific knowledge, but rather obtaining enormous amounts of public funds aimed at their own personal growth. Students are increasingly worried that they might be used as bait for projects and funds and dumped later on. These are not baseless concerns in student’s minds, but genuine fear arising from opinions expressed in news and social media (often by physicists and cosmologists themselves who are disgusted and disappointed over money spent on fruitless research, thus eroding public trust). Students are also confident that the current situation in the foundation of science (mostly physics and cosmology) is alarming and unsustainable. Prolonged failure to show promised results (in return for public money spent on research) can lead to stoppage of funding altogether. Their generation might be the ones who will reap (the public anger) because of what the previous generation had sown. Present students are determined not to be afraid like past students, and are very willing to raise the banner of revolution.
The Bangladesh universities students have recently demonstrated what the students are capable of. They forced the military to surrender. Nepal students set the Parliament building on fire and kicked out the Government. Throughout recent history, students have toppled governments in many countries. Now students worldwide will achieve a noble feat by rescuing science from present crisis through a full-fledged scientific revolution. History tells that the original scientific revolution in Europe was led primarily by universities. Overthrowing old and wrong scientific theories is mere cakewalk (just a child’s play) for students. They have revolution in their blood, and they will certainly succeed! The university or college that will succeed first will forever secure a glorious place for itself in world history. AMEN.

History has repeatedly shown that in matters of science, the entire World can be wrong! And that too for surprising long periods. Aristotle said “Heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects”. He demonstrated this by dropping a stone and a feather together. Aristotle’s statement was accepted as unquestionable truth and remained unchallenged for 2000 years (yes, two millennia!) until Galileo challenged it by dropping two metal balls of different sizes from the leaning tower of Pisa.
“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual”— Galileo Galilei.
Every scientific revolution in the past has ended up having enormous social and cultural influence. For example, Copernicus’s helio-centrism threatened human sense of being right in the center of the universe (and hence the ‘sun centric model’ was bitterly opposed by the powerful church but ultimately all oppositions proved futile. In fact, the church had to issue a public apology recently for its role). Darwin’s theory of evolution challenged the intuition that humans were fundamentally different from other animals. People during that time were outraged and dismissed it as plain nonsense. Yet, yesterday’s nonsense ended up as today’s commonsense! Einstein’s relativity upended all faith in common sense ideas about the flow of time. Time started mixing with space for very fast moving objects, and time revealed its character as another dimension!
The upcoming scientific revolution shall be the greatest ever, and force humans to change the way of thinking about the most basic features of the universe, including the nature of space and time. Space and Time underlies Physics and Cosmology, and are the most fundamental concepts imaginable in entire Science. It will be a conceptual revolution that would have implications far beyond the world of science. The scale of social and cultural impact of the upcoming scientific revolution is quite unthinkable.
A scientific revolution is unstoppable. No one can stop a revolution whose time has come.
