Why this exists
I loved physics as a boy, especially stories about the birth of stars and planets. As I grew older, small gaps in the logic of familiar explanations stayed with me and kept asking for a way out.
The search
My search began when I was a boy.
I loved physics and stories about how stars, planets and the universe came to be. I wanted to understand not only what we could observe, but how those observations led to the explanations we accepted.
As I grew older, I began to notice small gaps in some of those explanations—places where the logical thread seemed to jump before reaching its conclusion.
I could sense the questions, but I could not yet formulate them clearly.
Books on popular physics gave me more knowledge, but they did not close those gaps. Later, while studying electrical engineering and telecommunications, I gained a stronger foundation in signals, waves and measurement. The questions became more precise, but they did not disappear.
They remained in the background for years.
Eventually, they began to find their way out through fiction.
What started as one novel became three, because one story could not contain all of the questions.
The books and the questions
The trilogy does not ask the reader to reject established measurements. Each book asks whether the mechanism assigned beneath them is physically complete enough for the conclusion being drawn.
Why a portal beside the fiction?
The novels keep the measurements in place and keep equations outside the story. The companion exists because the physical questions eventually needed more room than fiction should give them.
Here, a measured outcome can be separated from the mathematical description that predicts it and from the physical mechanism proposed beneath that mathematics.
You can enter through the characters and their lives.
You can begin with a simple question.
Or you can go directly to the derivations, sources, objections and unresolved experimental obligations.
What you have found here is not a finished new physics.
It is a public attempt to keep the physical steps visible long enough to ask whether a different mechanism can eventually survive the same measurements.
Enter through a character, scene and consequence.
State the physical problem in ordinary language.
Hold one clear physical picture before opening the derivation.
Follow the definitions, equations and disputed step.
Open the intermediate reasoning, sources, objections and unfinished work.
The author’s starting point
Ned Fielder is the pen name of Nenad Poljak, an electrical engineer educated at the University of Belgrade in telecommunications, with a particular interest in signal processing. That background shaped the insistence on separating source, propagation, receiver, measurement and reconstruction.
Engineering training, fiction and AI assistance are not substitutes for specialist peer review. The portal makes the questions public so that the reasoning, evidence and remaining gaps can be examined.
